This manuscript represents the third and final volume in the
publication of the Hellenistic pottery unearthed by the American
excavations in the Athenian Agora. The first installment (Agora
XXII) was devoted to the moldmade bowls and the second (Agora XXIX)
to the remainder of the fine ware. The third presents the plain
wares, including household pottery, oil containers, and cooking
pottery. In all, about 1400 Hellenistic vessels in these categories
have been entered into the excavation record, which are represented
here in a catalogue of 847 objects. The study constructs a
typology, based on both form and fabric, and a chronology for these
ceramics, using the fact that many of the pieces were found in
'closed contexts' like wells. Finally, the author discusses the
possible functions of the ceramic shapes found, and uses them to
reconstruct some of the domestic and industrial activities of
Hellenistic Athenians. While it documents the pottery assemblage of
one site, this book will be an essential reference tool for
archaeologists around the Mediterranean. This manuscript represents
a stunning scholarly accomplishment. detail. This volume will stand
as a fitting capstone to a project of long duration, and it will
enjoy many, many years as a vital and easy-to-use reference work.
