After a general resumé of the historical development of the Agora, the monuments are treated in detail, grouped by their use and purpose. Each monument is discussed in the light of both the literary and the archaeological evidence for its identification and its restoration. In the light of the topographical conclusions the route of Pausanias is traced. A chapter “After the Heruli” follows the fortunes of the area from A.D. 267 till the 19th century; the last century is treated in the detailed report of “The Excavations” up to 1971. This is a definitive survey of the historical and topographical results of 40 years of American excavations.","","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","The Agora of Athens: The History, Shape and Uses of an Ancient City Center","Thompson, H.

These form a complex chain of waterworks, constructed and repaired over many different periods. This book discusses the complex engineering that channeled fresh water into the Agora and disposed of waste water, and shows some of the ornate wells and fountain houses where ancient Athenians gathered to drink and bathe.","","The American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","Waterworks in the Athenian Agora","Lang, M.","","Agora","","1968","Agora:Publication:Agora Picture Book 11","AgoraPicBk 11 (1968)"
