This generously illustrated volume, honoring Crawford H.
Greenewalt, Jr., field director of the Sardis Expedition for over
thirty years, and commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the
Harvard- Cornell archaeological excavation, presents new studies by
scholars closely involved with Professor Greenewalt's excavations
at this site in western Turkey. The essays span the Archaic to the
Late Antique periods, focusing primarily on Sardis itself but also
touching on other archaeological sites in the eastern
Mediterranean. Three papers publish for the first time an Archaic
painted tomb near Sardis with lavish interior furnishings. Papers
on Sardis in late antiquity focus on domestic wall paintings,
spolia used in the late Roman Synagogue, and late fifth-century
coin hoards. Other Sardis papers examine the layout of the city
from the Lydian to the Roman periods, the transformation of Sardis
from an imperial capital to a Hellenistic polis, the reuse of
pottery in the Lydian period, and the history and achievements of
the conservation program at the site. Studies of an Archaic seal
from Gordion, queenly patronage of Hellenistic rotundas, and
ancient and modern approaches to architectural ornament round out
the volume.
