Paperback. As published excavated contexts become more plentiful and as older contexts are reexamined, it has become increasingly possible to consider Greek figure-decorated pottery from the perspective of its use. The essays in this volume explore the relationship between image and use in different contexts, with an emphasis on the user and consumer-that is, they explore the possible meanings images had for the individuals who obtained the objects on which they appear. The essays pose questions concerning why a consumer might choose a particular pot, why it might be part of an assemblage, or why a particular set of pots might have moved in a particular direction. The contributors are Sheramy D. Bundrick, An Jiang, Kathleen M. Lynch, Bice Peruzzi, Vivi Sarapanidi, Tara Trahey, and Vicky Vlachou. 67 b&w illustrations, photographs and drawings.

Riassunto:

"The papers in this volume are elaborations of talks presented at the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America in New Orleans. Five were part of a colloquium, 'Consumers' Choice : Uses of Greek Figure-Decorated Pottery,' which was sponsored by the Pottery in Context Research Network. This group, formed in 2011-2012 and sponsored by the Institute of Classical Studies at the University of London, supports research on figure-decorated and associated pottery, with particular focus on shape, iconography, and material contexts in the Mediterranean basin of the eleventh to fourth centuries B.C.E. Two additional papers on painted pottery from other AIA sessions are included in this volume. These papers addressed similar themes to that of the colloquium and supplemented the themes of how one might consider a consumer's choice"--
