Franchthi Neolithic Pottery, Volume 1

Karen D. Vitelli

Description

Sifting through and classifying an enormous amount of broken pottery, Vitelli is able to shed new light on life in Neolithic Greece.

" . . . a highly innovative study that foregrounds the decision-making and technological choices of Neolithic potters . . . " —Antiquity

" . . . imaginative, rigorous and admirably lucid study." —Journal of Hellenic Studies

The first of two systematic reports on the more than one million sherds of pottery recovered from the Franchthi Cave and Paralia which will significantly increase our understanding of Neolithic pottery and Neolithic society in southern Greece. Illustrated.
