Many photographs and profiles of sections permit ready identification, and a handy graphical chart of lamp types facilitates quick checking of the chronological range of each.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0034::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0034.jpg::104::150","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","Agora:Publication:Agora 4" "1962","Agora VIII","","Brann, E. T. H.","","Late Geometric and Protoattic Pottery: Mid 8th to Late 7th Century B.C.","Publication","","Agora","This volume reports on Athenian pottery found in the Athenian Agora up to 1960 that can dated from about the middle of the 8th century, 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 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.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0039::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0039.jpg::104::150","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","Agora:Publication:Agora 8" "1970","Agora XII","","Sparkes, B.

Over 2,040 pieces of black-glaze pottery are catalogued and described, with many drawings and photographs.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0042::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0042.jpg::200::263","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","Agora:Publication:Agora 12" "1976","Agora XXI","","Lang, M.","","Graffiti and Dipinti","Publication","","Agora","Over 3,000 informal inscriptions scratched or painted on pottery, lamps, or other clay fragments have been found in the excavations of the Athenian Agora. In this volume, 859 of these graffiti and dipinti (representing those with sufficient content to be meaningful) are presented in catalogue and drawings. The texts consist of messages and lists, love names and curses, rough calculations, dedications, commercial and tax notations—in short, all manner of fascinating, all-too-human trivia. An introduction to each category defines the type, indicates special characteristics and suggests parallels, purpose, etc. Each example is illustrated in a line drawing with the exception of the tax notations (dipinti); in this case photographs seemed preferable owing to the fugitive medium and the run-on cursive forms. This skillful presentation of an important body of material contributes significantly to the study of informal Greek, especially in regard to letter forms and spelling, as well as to an understanding of the varying commercial practices in ancient Athens.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0051::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0051.jpg::296::400","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","Agora:Publication:Agora 21" "1986","Agora XXIII","","Moore, M. B.","","Attic Black-Figured Pottery","Publication","","Agora","This volume is the first of the Athenian Agora reports to deal specifically with figured wares; it is concerned with the black-figured pottery found in the excavations in the Athenian Agora between 1931 and 1967, most of it in dumped fill especially in wells and cisterns. These deposits have been published separately in previous reports; by presenting them as a body, the authors are able to show how it complements and supplements the existing chronological and stylistic framework of shapes and artists. All the important pieces are shown in photographs, as well as all complete vases and those with particular problems. Profile drawings and reconstructions of the composition are supplied in a few special cases. Summary descriptions of references and a site plan are given for the deposits, which are also identified in the concordance of catalogue and inventory numbers. There are indexes of potters, painters, groups, and classes; subjects; shape and ornament; collections and provenances; and a general index.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0053::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0053.jpg::370::500","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","Agora:Publication:Agora 23"
