Mittel- und Spätbronzezeitliche Keramik Griechenlands

The volume intends to be not only a straightforward presentation of the Middle and Late Bronze Age pottery from Mainland Greece, including the islands of Aegina and Paros, stored in the Schachermeyr Collection at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, but also to offer an in-depth discussion on a selection of related topics. The presentation of a collection such as this is even nowadays justified not only by Schachermeyr´s high degree of connoisseurship and thus selection of highly representative pieces for a given region and period, but also by the fact that the site of origin is recorded for almost all of the pieces. Collections organised in this way make it possible to study certain phenomena, such as the distribution of wares, fabrics or decorative motives across wider research areas, without the otherwise necessary travels over wide distances.
