This reinforces literary evidence for a highly centralized bureaucracy controlling trade and commerce. In the second part of the book, Crosby catalogues and discusses some 900 lead and 46 clay tokens uncovered during the Agora excavations. The bulk of the lead material dates from the Roman period, while all the clay pieces belong to the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd centuries B.C. These tokens served diverse functions. Some were used as admission tickets for festivals and theater performances while others can be related to attendance at lawcourts or receipt of tax payments.","Agora X","","Weights, Measures and Tokens","","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Lang, M.","","","1964","Agora:Publication:Agora 10","Agora" "Publication","Agora:Image:2009.09.0052::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0052.jpg::104::150","This volume is the first of two to present the Hellenistic fine ware from the excavations in the Athenian Agora. Its scope is restricted to the moldmade hemispherical bowls manufactured from the late 3rd century to the early 1st century B.C. in Athens. The material studied, consisting of some 1,400 fragments of which about 800 were inventoried by the excavators, was unearthed between 1931 and 1973. Of the inventoried pieces, 364 fragments of bowls and molds are catalogued and discussed here, with 40 additional imported pieces, 6 related moldmade examples of other shapes, and 5 pieces used in the manufacturing process. The author first discusses the origins and dating of the bowls and then takes up the various types, in order of appearance on the historical scene: pine-cone, imbricate, floral, and figured bowls and their workshops and chronology, long-petal bowls, and other special types such as concentric-semicircle and daisy bowls. The discussion is followed by a detailed catalogue including references to comparanda.","Agora XXII","","Hellenistic Pottery: Athenian and Imported Moldmade Bowls","","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Rotroff, S","","","1982","Agora:Publication:Agora 22","Agora" "Publication","Agora:Image:2009.09.0057::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0057.jpg::370::500","This volume catalogues over 16,577 identifiable Greek coins produced by the excavations of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens between 1931 and 1990. The majority of the coins found and catalogued are Athenian bronze, from the 4th century B.C. through the 3rd century A.D. Included as well are the Athenian silver and the hundreds of non-Athenian gold, silver, and bronze coins that made their way into the Agora in antiquity Considerable attention is paid to the archaeological context of the coins and to presenting a pictorial record of the Greek coinage from the Agora, with more than 1,035 coins illustrated. Substantial introductory discussions place all the coins in clear historical and numismatic contexts and give a sense of the range of international commercial activity in the ancient city. This comprehensive reference work is indispensable for students and scholars of Greek coinage and history. Presenting a reliable chronology of Athens’ bronze coinage for the first time, it will be the standard reference for this important coinage in particular for years to come.","Agora XXVI","","The Greek Coins","","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Kroll, J.

An introductory section includes chapters devoted to fixed points in the chronology of the pottery, to a general discussion of the decoration of Hellenistic pots, both stamped and painted, or “West Slope,” and to the question of workshops. The author dedicates much of the text to a typology of Attic Hellenistic fine ware, carefully examining the origins, development, chronology, forms, and decoration of each shape. The ordering of the material by function rather than by the form of vessels provides insight into life in Hellenistic Athens. Especially important is the development of a chronological framework that builds upon and refines the author’s earlier work in this area.","Agora XXIX","","Hellenistic Pottery Athenian and Imported Wheelmade Table Ware and Related Material","","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Rotroff, S.","","","1997","Agora:Publication:Agora 29","Agora" "Publication","Agora:Image:2009.09.0062::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0062.jpg::104::150","Examples of Roman period red-gloss and red-slip pottery generally termed terra sigillata found during excavations in the Athenian Agora form the focus of this volume. These fine wares, like the other table wares of the first seven centuries A.D. discussed here, were all imported—a very different situation to earlier periods where Athens was known as a great ceramic-making center, and perhaps the result of mass destruction of potters’ workshops during the Sullan sack of 86 B.C. While the image of a demolished pottery industry is tragic, the consequent conglomeration of finewares from many parts of the Roman empire in one city makes the Athenian Agora a tremendous source of comparanda for archaeologists working all round the Mediterranean. Written by the world’s leading expert on Roman pottery, this huge catalogue illustrating and identifying multiple shapes and types of decoration will therefore be an essential reference book.","Agora XXXII","","Roman Pottery: Fine-Ware Imports","","The American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Hayes, J.","","","2008","Agora:Publication:Agora 32","Agora" "Publication","Agora:Image:2009.09.0063::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0063.jpg::200::266","This manuscript represents the third and final volume in the publication of the Hellenistic pottery unearthed by the American excavations in the Athenian Agora. The first installment (Agora XXII) was devoted to the moldmade bowls and the second (Agora XXIX) to the remainder of the fine ware. The third presents the plain wares, including household pottery, oil containers, and cooking pottery. In all, about 1,400 Hellenistic vessels in these categories have been entered into the excavation record, which are represented here in a catalogue of 847 objects. The study constructs a typology, based on both form and fabric, and a chronology for these ceramics, using the fact that many of the pieces were found in “closed contexts” like wells. Finally, the author discusses the possible functions of the ceramic shapes found, and uses them to reconstruct some of the domestic and industrial activities of Hellenistic Athenians. While it documents the pottery assemblage of one site, this book will be an essential reference tool for archaeologists around the Mediterranean.","Agora XXXIII","","Hellenistic Pottery: The Plain Wares","","The American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Rotroff, S.","","","2008","Agora:Publication:Agora 33","Agora" "Publication","","The Athenian Agora: Results of Excavations Conducted by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Agora XXXVII","","Amphora Stamps from Thasos","","The American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Tzochev, Chavdar","","","2016","Agora:Publication:Agora 37","Agora"
