The course aims to acquaint students with the technology of ancient Greek pottery from the 10th to the 1st century BC. The methods used for the construction and decoration of pots are thoroughly examined, both in figured and in glazed/unglazed categories. Along with technology, this course deals with issues such as the organization of workshops and social status of the potters, the prices and trading of Greek pottery across the Mediterranean as well as with the meaning of scenes on pots, in order to outline the importance of pottery in ancient Greek society and economy. Furthermore, through this course, students explore the role and importance of pottery in archaeological fieldwork.
