The Symposium in Context : Pottery from a Late Archaic House near the Athenian Agora PDF
by Kathleen M. Lynch
Part of the Hesperia Supplement series
Description
This book presents the first well-preserved set of sympotic pottery which served a Late Archaic house in the Athenian Agora.
The deposit contains household and fine-ware pottery, nearly all the figured pieces of which are forms associated with communal drinking.
Since it comes from a single house, the pottery also reflects purchasing patterns and thematic preferences of the homeowner.
The multifaceted approach adopted in this book shows that meaning and use are inherently related, and that through archaeology one can restore a context of use for a class of objects frequently studied in isolation. Winner of the 2013 James R. Wiseman Book Award given by the Archaeological Institute of America.
