Pottery in the Archaeological Record: Greece and Beyond, Acts of the International Colloquium Held at the Danish and Canadian In

This is the first in a new series projected to emerge from the Danish National Museum's "Pots, Potters & Society in Ancient Greece," project, which was initiated in 2008 to investigate the production and trade of pottery as evidence for the ancient economy, and vase painting and other iconographical evidence for the life and thoughts of the ancients. The 12 papers here discuss such topics as interpreting workshop organization at the potters' quarter of Sagalassos, amphora fragments re-used as potter's tools in the rural landscape of Panskoye, and repair and recycling in Corinth and the archaeological record. The volume, which is well illustrated with b&w and color plates of excellent quality, lacks an index. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
