East Greek Pottery provides the only dedicated study of the pottery
created by the Greek settlers along the western coast of Turkey
between 1100 and 500 BC. The authors examine in detail significant
developments in shape, material and decoration from the emergence
of the protogeometric style in the eleventh century to the fifth
century BC, when competition from Athenian imports forced craftsmen
to use only very simple ornamentation. The twenty-three chapters
offer a comprehensive style-by-style analysis of both familiar and
lesser-known pottery types, including Grey ware, relief ware and
archaic trade amphorae.
With full illustration, thorough referencing and authoritative
interpretation of the archaeological evidence, this volume is a
unique and accessible guide to an area of study which has often
been neglected.
East Greek Pottery provides a comprehensive survey of the pottery
made by the Greek settlers along the western coast of Turkey. The
various styles of decoration described cover the period from the
eleventh century to the beginning of the fifth century B.C.
Subsequently, competition from Athens pressed local potters into
using very simple ornament. Chapters include analysis of Grey ware,
relief ware and archaic East Greek containers (or trade) amphorae,
a class of pottery which is now attracting attention for its
contribution to the study of ancient economic history. East Greek
pottery is a field that has been neglected, and much remains
uncertain. Conjecture and fact have been clearly distinguished in
this volume, and detailed references allow the evidence to be
viewed and judged by the reader.
