PREFACE
Some twenty seasons
of excavation
in the Athenian
Agora
have brought to light vast
quantities
of
pots
and
potsherds
of Roman
times,
derived in
part
from
occupation
levels and
destruction
debris,
in
part
from more than one hundred distinct
deposits,
such as
wells, cisterns,
graves, building
fills, etc.l
Of this mass of
pottery,
over five thousand vessels and
fragments
of
vessels have been entered in the excavation
inventory;
a still
larger quantity
has been
stored
in tins and
wooden
trays
for future
study
and for
the control of currentstudies. In
preparing
the
publication
of this material it has been
necessary
to
recognize
two facts: the
very
abundance
of
the
pottery
from this one site
necessitates
a
highly
selective
treatment;
and the
Agora pottery
itself
must serve as the basis
for
establishing
the
chronological
and
typological
sequence
of most
of the ceramic
output
of the eastern Mediterraneanin Roman times. The
present
volume deals
with some 850
specimens
from
eight major deposits
and
attempts by
means of them to establish
both a relative and an absolute
chronology
for the Roman
wares of Athens.
A
subsequent
volume,
subtitled
Typology,
will
contain detailed
analyses
of the various local and
imported
wares as well as a
typological catalogue
of coarsehousehold and
storage
vessels. No
attempt
will
be made to
catalogue
all the inventoried
pottery
of Roman date.
The Roman
pottery
of the
Agora
excavations was first
investigated by
Frederick 0.
Waage
and the
late
Arthur
Parsons,
to
both
of
whom the author is
greatly
indebted for
personal
communications and for the use of
important
notes. The
study
of the fine
early
Roman wares
(Pergamene,
Samian and
Arretine),
which will form a
portion
of the second
volume,
was
entrusted to the writer in 1939
by
the late Professor
T.
Leslie
Shear,
at that time Director of
the Athenian
Agora
Excavations.
The materialfor the
present
volume was
gathered
in 1951-1953
and in the
summer
of
1955;
during
these
periods
the writer held a
Fulbright
Research Grant at
the American
School of Classical Studies at Athens
(1951-1952), membership
in the Institute
for Advanced
Study,
Princeton
(1952-1953),
and two
grants-in-aid
from
the Penrose Fund of
the American
Philosophical Society;
assistance was also received from the
Faculty
Research
Committeeof the
University
of Oklahoma.To these
organizations
the writer is
deeply
indebted,
as also
to the
many colleagues
without whose
encouragement,
advice and
practical guidance
the
work could never have been
completed.
Particular
gratitude
is due to the Directors of the
American School of
Classical Studies and of the Athenian
Agora
Excavations,
Professors
John L.
Caskey
and
Homer A.
Thompson;
to Miss
Lucy
Talcott,
for her
excellent counsel
at
every stage
of
the
investigations;
to Miss Alison
Frantz,
who
undertook so
successfully
the
often
painful
task of
photography;
to Miss Mabel
Lang,
for
many
fruitful discussions of the
storage
vessels and for the
reading
and
interpretation
of the
graffiti
and
dipinti;
to Miss Judith
Perlzweig,
whose
knowledge
of
the
lamps
of the Roman
period
has been
invaluable;
to Mrs.
