{"product_id":"the-sanctuary-of-demeter-and-kathleen-warner-slane-9780876611821","title":"The Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore: The Roman Pottery and Lamps","description":"In the series of final publications for the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore, this book presents ceramic material from the Roman period (primarily from the middle of the 1st century to the end of the 4th century A.D.) in which is included the relatively small number of Roman lamps. Since even small fragments of lamps can be easily identified, the author has chosen them for the chronological framework of the volume, cataloguing 62 examples of some 876 found. The catalogue of 214 pieces selected from the vast amounts of pottery unearthed forms a corpus of common and unique finds from the sanctuary, with attention to sources, chronology, and possible light on the nature of the cult. The history of the Roman sanctuary is reflected in the lamps and fine wares, which are paralleled elsewhere; a preliminary typology is developed for the coarse wares, which are primarily local in origin. A lot list follows giving the inventory numbers of the catalogued Roman objects and context coins, with context descriptions. The concordance is divided into lamps and pottery, within and outside the sanctuary, the latter with references to any previous publications. A general index precedes those of text references to catalogued objects, signatures and potter's stamps, and findspots mentioned in the text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen Warner Slane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 087661182X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780876611821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American School of Classical Studies at Athen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Kathleen Warner Slane","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48441377194239,"sku":"9780876611821","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c26ac48-3594-4348-bece-2564f0c01246.jpg?v=1777190500","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sanctuary-of-demeter-and-kathleen-warner-slane-9780876611821","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
