Description:
A presentation of the papers from the International Conference on Classical and Hellenistic Architectural Terracottas, held at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, December, 1991. While the majority of the papers concentrate on architectural terracottas from the Greek mainland, examples from sites on the Aegean islands, Asia Minor, present-day Albania, Sicily, and Italy are covered as well. The papers add significantly to an understanding of the stylistic development of and regional differences among Greek architectural terracottas, and, in many instances, provide clearer reconstructions of otherwise ill-preserved Greek buildings.
