	Hesperia Supplements 46 The Symposium in Context: Pottery from a Late Archaic House near the Classical Athenian Agora by K. M. Lynch Although the symposium has received great scholarly interest, most discussions are heavily dependent on literary accounts or evidence gleaned from public dining assemblages. This book presents the first well-preserved set of sympotic pottery recovered from an Athenian household. The study examines the artefacts from well deposit J 2:4, which served a Late Archaic house in the Athenian Agora until it was closed with debris during the clean-up ... Paperback. Price GB £50.00
	Hesperia Supplements 45 Crete in Transition: Pottery Styles and Island History in the Archaic and Classical Periods by Brice L. Erickson This work presents a classification system and absolute chronology for black-gloss wares from Crete, establishing the first local and regional ceramic sequences during the period from 600 to 400 B.C. This new chronological foundation of datable pottery from excavated sites fills in the so-called 6th/5th-century gap and dispels the prevailing view that this was a period of decline in population and one of artistic and cultural impoverishment. The ... Paperback. Price GB £45.00
	Hesperia Supplements 44 STEGA: The Archaeology of Houses and Households in Ancient Crete edited by Kevin T. Glowacki and Natalia Vogeikoff-Brogan Although several recent conferences and publications have concentrated on the study of ancient houses and households in the Mediterranean, relatively little work has emphasised household analysis on a regional as opposed to a cross-regional or even site-based level. This volume fills that need by presenting the papers of the international colloquium on the archaeology of houses and households in ancient Crete held in Ierapetra in May 2005. The 38 ... Paperback.

Gesell edited by Anna Lucia D'Agata and Aleydis van de Moortel Twenty-five years after Colin Renfrew's seminal book, The Archaeology of Cult, was published, the study of ritual and religion in Crete remains one of the most vital and debated areas of research in Old World prehistory. For the present volume, 25 specialists in the archaeology of the island have been invited to bring the subject up to date. Their multivocalist discourse ranges in time from the Bronze to the Iron Age and includes, in five ... Paperback. Price GB £45.00
	Hesperia Supplements 40 Between Venice and Istanbul: Colonial Landscapes in Early Modern Greece edited by Siriol Davies and Jack L Davis Despite growing interest, the archaeology of the so-called Post-Byzantine era in Greece remains a poor cousin of classical studies.

	Hesperia Supplements 36 The Chrysokamino Metallurgy Workshop and its Territory by Philip P. Betancourt This detailed report describes archaeological fieldwork conducted between 1995 and 1997 in rural northeast Crete. Excavations were made in two locations: a metallurgy workshop (abandoned in EM III) and a nearby rural habitation site, perhaps a farmhouse (used until LM III). An intensive survey of the vicinity revealed other activities in the area from the Early Neolithic onwards, and placed the sites in a micro-regional context. A publication of ... Paperback.
