Book Description
This volume reports on Athenian pottery found in the Athenian Agora up to 1960 that can be dated from about the middle of the 8th century B.C., when the appearance of a painter of sufficient personal distinction to enliven the whole craft marks a real break from the earlier Geometric style, through the third quarter of the 7th century B.C. when Protoattic gives way to black-figure and black wares. A sampling of contemporary imported ware is included. The material is treated first by shape and then, more extensively, by painting styles. Some 650 characteristic pieces are selected for cataloguing. The introduction discusses the development of the various shapes and styles, characterizing the special techniques and innovations of the period. The topographical features of the Agora that are indicated by the places of discovery of deposits of late Geometric and Protoattic pottery are summarized under wells, houses, workshops, sanctuaries, cemeteries, and roads.

Book Description
Attika, die ostlichste Landschaft Mittelgriechenlands, war zusammen mit ihrem Vorort Athen neben Sparta nicht nur die flachengrosste hellenische Polis, sondern mit rund 300 000 Einwohnern auch die bevolkerungsreichste. Als Wiege der abendlandischen Kultur steht Athen auch zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts im Brennpunkt des allgemeinen wie des wissenschaftlichen Interesses. Attika ist fur Historiker und Archaologen vor allem deshalb eine "zentrale" Landschaft des Mittelmeerraumes, weil sich in ihr materielle Reste, epigraphische Quellen und historisch-literarische Uberlieferung verdichten wie in keiner anderen Region Griechenlands. Da das klassische Zeitalter Athens unbestreitbar einen der grossen Hohepunkte abendlandischer Kulturgeschichte darstellt, ist alles, was diese Epoche betrifft, von grosstem kulturwissenschaftlichen Interesse. Auf eine Phase hochster Blute im 5. und 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. folgte ein abrupter Niedergang und fuhrte in weiten Bereichen zu einer Fossilisierung der Kulturlandschaft, die ideale Voraussetzungen bot, Einblick in die Lebensverhaltnisse, die Siedlungsformen und Wirtschaftsweisen der Bewohner des antiken Attika zu nehmen. Zugleich ist Attika aber heute auch die am starksten zerstorte antike Kulturlandschaft Griechenlands. Unzahlige Fundstatten aus allen Epochen sind unbeachtet von Wissenschaft und Offentlichkeit dem unkontrollierten Bauboom der letzten dreissig Jahre zum Opfer gefallen. Der von Hans Lohmann und Torsten Mattern herausgegebene Band prasentiert neue Forschungen zu Athen und Attika und gibt Impulse fur kunftige Forschungen.

Book Description
The 23 papers presented here are the product of the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and approaches to the study of kitchen pottery between archaeologists, material scientists, historians and ethnoarchaeologists. They aim to set a vital but long-neglected category of evidence in its wider social, political and economic contexts. Structured around main themes concerning technical aspects of pottery production; cooking as socioeconomic practice; and changing tastes, culinary identities and cross-cultural encounters, a range of social economic and technological models are discussed on the basis of insights gained from the study of kitchen pottery production, use and evolution. Much discussion and work in the last decade has focussed on technical and social aspects of coarse ware and in particular kitchen ware. The chapters in this volume contribute to this debate, moving kitchen pottery beyond the Binfordian ‘technomic’ category and embracing a wider view, linking processualism, ceramic-ecology, behavioral schools, and ethnoarchaeology to research on historical developments and cultural transformations covering a broad geographical area of the Mediterranean region and spanning a long chronological sequence.
