1. SMALL AND MINIATURE VASES AT ANCIENT CORINTH.

Abstract

This study surveys the small and miniature vases from a number of different sanctuaries and burials in ancient Corinth from the later 7th century b.c. on, in order to determine which shapes appear where and when. Their contexts and chronology identify the variation in types, important for understanding cult rituals. Some misconceptions about miniatures are addressed: they were not for poor people or children, nor were they substitutes for their larger prototypes. Their supposed low value is in fact fundamental for their meaning, as several ancient writers suggest. Because they are inexpensive, offered anonymously, and nonfunctioning as vases, they are special--gifts for the gods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

2. Hellenistic Pottery : The Fine Wares

Abstract

Using deposits recently excavated from the Panayia Field, this volume substantially revises the absolute chronology of Corinthian Hellenistic pottery as established by G. Roger Edwards in Corinth VII.3 (1975). This new research, based on quantitative analysis of over 50 deposits, demonstrates that the date range for most fine-ware shapes should be lowered by 50-100 years. Contrary to previous assumptions, it is now possible to argue that local ceramic production continued in Corinth during the interim period between the destruction of the city in 146 B.C. and when it was refounded as a Roman colony in 44 B.C. This volume includes detailed shape studies and a comprehensive catalogue. With its presentation of this revised'Panayia Field chronology,'Corinth VII.7 is a long-awaited and much-needed addition to the Corinth series.
