The Early Iron Age: The Cemeteries (Athenian Agora) (in English)
John K. Papadopoulos
Synopsis "The Early Iron Age: The Cemeteries (Athenian Agora) (in English)"
This volume, the first of two dealing with the Early Iron Age deposits from the Athenian Agora, publishes the tombs from the end of the Bronze Age through the transition from the Middle Geometric to Late Geometric period. An introduction deals with the layout of the four cemeteries of the period, the topographical ramifications, periodization, and a synthesis of Athens in the Early Iron Age. Individual chapters offer a complete catalogue of the tombs and their contents, a full analysis of the burial customs and funerary rites, and analyses of the pottery and other small finds. Maria A. Liston presents the human skeletal material, Deborah Ruscillo presents the faunal remains, and Sara Strack contributes to the pottery typology and catalogue. In an appendix, Eirini Dimitriadou provides an overview of the locations of burial activity in the wider city.Table of ContentsContentsPrefaceChapter 1: IntroductionChapter 2: Four Cemeteries: A Catalogue of Tombs and Their ContentsChapter 3: Human Skeletons from the Athenian Agora Early Iron Age CemeteriesChapter 4: Faunal Remains from Early Iron Age Tombs in the Athenian AgoraChapter 5: Burial Customs and Funerary RitesChapter 6: The Early Iron Age PotteryChapter 7: The Small Finds Other than PotteryChapter 8: Epilogue: Social and Historical Conclusions
