Greek Painted Pottery has been used by classics

and classical archaeology students for some thirty years. It thoroughly examines all painted pottery styles from the Protogeometric to the Hellenistic period from all areas of Greece and from the colonies in parts of Italy. In this third edition the author has made extensive revisions and has fully

updated the bibliography. Coverage of new evidence and theories is also included. In each case it covers the development of iconography and the use of colour, decorative motifs and the distinctive styles of each stage. It examines the most

utilitarian pottery objects as well as some of the finest pieces produced by a flourishing civilization. Other chapters

cover the pottery industry and pottery-making techniques, including firing, the types of local clay which were used and

inscription. This study also considers how one can date pottery and establish a chronology and the various methods by which these artefacts have been classified, preserved and collected.
