About This Book

It surveys ancient Mediterranean pottery with primary focus on Greek ceramics and extended treatment of Etruscan and Roman wares, combining technical explanation, archaeological context, and stylistic history. Chapters describe excavation sites and find circumstances, funerary and domestic uses, and the names and forms of common shapes. Technical processes such as clay preparation, wheel-throwing, moulding, painting, and firing are explained alongside workshop practice, chronology, and regional variations. The volume addresses restoration, imitation, and collecting, and includes numerous plates, illustrations, and a bibliography to assist classification and interpretation. Oriental and northern European pottery are deliberately excluded.
