The Early Iron Age : The Cemeteries, Hardback Book

The Early Iron Age : The Cemeteries Hardback

Part of the Athenian Agora series

Hardback

Description

This volume, the first of two dealing with the Early Iron Age deposits from the Athenian Agora, publishes the tombs from the end of the Bronze Age through the transition from the Middle Geometric to Late Geometric period.

An introduction deals with the layout of the four cemeteries of the period, the topographical ramifications, periodization, and a synthesis of Athens in the Early Iron Age.

Individual chapters offer a complete catalogue of the tombs and their contents, a full analysis of the burial customs and funerary rites, and analyses of the pottery and other small finds.

Maria A. Liston presents the human skeletal material, Deborah Ruscillo presents the faunal remains, and Sara Strack contributes to the pottery typology and catalogue.

In an appendix, Eirini Dimitriadou provides an overview of the locations of burial activity in the wider city.
