The Symposium in Context: Pottery from a Late Archaic House near the Athenian Agora (Hesperia Supplement) Paperback – June 15, 2011

This book is a bright example of the synergy which can be achieved through the combination of academic Attic vase scholarship and austere, meticulous excavation in the bottom of a dark, muddy well.Considered as part of a set, each pot, even each sherd, benefits from the information provided by the other finds, and in return contributes to enlighten the context of the house. At the end of the book, one is just waiting for seeing the owner!
