A.","","The finds in the Athenian Agora from the Neolithic and Bronze Ages have added important chronological context to the earliest eras of Athenian history. The bulk of the items are pottery, but stone, bone, and metal objects also occur. Selected material from the Neolithic and from the Early and Middle Helladic periods is catalogued by fabric and then shape and forms the basis of detailed discussions of the wares (by technique, shapes, and decoration), the stone and bone objects, and their relative and absolute chronology. The major part of the volume is devoted to the Mycenaean period, the bulk of it to the cemetery of forty-odd tombs and graves with detailed discussions of architectural forms; of funeral rites; of offerings of pottery, bronze, ivory, and jewelry; and of chronology. Pottery from wells, roads, and other deposits as well as individual vases without significant context, augment the pottery from tombs as the basis of a detailed analysis of Mycenaean pottery. A chapter on historical conclusions deals with all areas of Mycenaean Athens.","Agora XIII","Publication","","1971" "Agora:Image:2009.09.0009::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0009.jpg::200::311","","The American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","Agora","Amphoras and the Ancient Wine Trade","Agora:Publication:Agora Picture Book 6","Grace, V. R","","Although this booklet is based on broken pottery found during the excavation of the Agora, the author ranges far beyond the confines of Athens in her discussion of the purpose and significance of different amphora types. She shows how chronological variations in shape and the geographical clues offered by stamped handles make amphoras a fascinating source of economic information. The booklet illustrates many different forms of amphora, all set into context by the well-written text.","AgoraPicBk 6 (1961); AgoraPicBk 6 (1979)","Publication","","1961" "Agora:Image:2009.09.0012::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0012.jpg::200::314","","The American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","Agora","Lamps from the Athenian Agora","Agora:Publication:Agora Picture Book 9","Perlzweig, J.","","At night, the darkness of the ancient Agora would have been pierced by the lights of oil lamps, and thousands of fragments of these distinctive objects have been found. This booklet presents the development of different styles of lamps and includes a very useful identification guide. The author discusses the manufacture of lamps in Athens, a major industry with over 50 known workshops in the 3rd and 4th centuries A.D. She also provides illustrations of particularly fine examples, including ornate festival lamps with many nozzles and bizarre shapes.","AgoraPicBk 9 (1963)","Publication","","1963"
