Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prominence of the Temple of Hephaistos, Greek god of metalworkers, situated on a hill to the west of the Agora, reflects the esteem in which bronzeworkers were held by the Athenians. Although many of the objects these craftsmen produced have now been melted down, the statues, lamps, and vessels that remain testify to the high standards of their craftsmanship. As well as illustrating some of the surviving finished products, the author discusses the techniques used to cast bronze and the level of skill involved in producing complex metal statuary.

Book excerpt: This volume presents selected material associated with potters' workshops and pottery production from some 14 Early Iron Age contexts northwest of the Athenian Acropolis that range in date from the Protogeometric through Archaic periods. Located in the area that was to become the Agora of Classical Athens, these deposits establish that the place was used for industrial activity until it was formally transformed into the civic and commercial center of the city in the early 5th century B.C. The Early Iron Age potters' debris published in this volume sheds light on many aspects of pottery production, in prehistory as well as in the Classical and later periods. The material includes test-pieces, wasters and other production discards. There is also a reassessment of the evidence associated with the kiln underlying the later Tholos.

Book excerpt: This dissertation traces the developments in shape and decoration of one of the grandest mixing vessels made in Athens from the late seventh century B.C. until the middle of the fourth. The first chapter sketches the background from which the first Attic volute-kraters emerge, as well as discussing ceramic volute-kraters made in other Greek potteries in the sixth century, including Sparta, Corinth, Northern Greece and Reggio di Calabria. The central chapters study the evolution of the volute-krater in the Athenian potters' quarter from the late seventh century until the middle of the fourth. Special attention has been paid to style, patternwork, and profile in order to identify new potters and painters, their interconnections, and their chronological framework. The catalogue lists over six hundred examples in black-figure, red-figure and black glaze. In the second half of the fifth century, local potteries in South Italy were established that imitated Athenian work: the evolution of their earliest volute-kraters and their debt to Attic are described. Volute-kraters were also made in bronze during the archaic and classical period. The development of several types from before the Vix krater until after the Derveni is analysed, and a catalogue of over one hundred given. Brief notes on Neo-Attic marble volute-kraters and volute-kraters in precious metals are appended. The study closes with a discussion and catalogue of representations of volute-kraters.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of bronzes and other metals from the Athenian Acropolis traditionally has been overshadowed by the emphasis given to the famous monuments of architecture and sculpture, in part due to the incomplete publication of the metal small finds from the site following the major excavation campaigns in the 19th century. Without attempting to be a comprehensive synthesis on this topic, this volume positions itself against this tradition by resuscitating discussion on the Acropolis bronzes. The introduction reflects on the history of the relevant scholarship vis-a-vis the life of the Acropolis bronzes in various museums and collections in Greece and elsewhere. The six essays provide overviews, reinterpretations, and critical discussions as well as new methodological approaches to various aspects of the existing corpus. Diane Harris-Cline employs Actor-Network theory to showcase the intricate web of social relationships behind each gesture that resulted in the deposition of bronzes on the Acropolis. Andronike Makres and Adele Scafuro reflect on methodological quandaries and detail their efforts to produce a new critical edition of the corpus of inscriptions on dedicatory and other bronzes that takes into account the materiality of this epigraphic record. Amy Sowder Koch reviews the corpus of hydriai from the Acropolis, taking into account newly published examples, and situates them within the larger context of bronze hydriai, seeking to understand Athens' role in bronze hydria production. Germano Sarcone revisits technical and social aspects of the impressively monumental and technically complex tripod-cauldrons from the Acropolis from the eighth century BCE onwards. Nassos Papalexandrou discusses the corpus of griffin cauldrons arguing that their original lavishness added to the prestige of the sanctuary during a formative period of Athenian society. Elena Karakitsou publishes a fascinating inscribed phiale retrieved from the southwestern entablature of the Parthenon along with the remains of a rare ritual deposit.
