Corinth results of excavations conducted by the American School of Classical Studies 18 ˜Theœ sanctuary of Demeter and Kore 2 The Roman pottery and lamps / by Kathleen Warner Slane

In The Series Of Final Publications For The Sanctuary Of Demeter And Kore, This Book Presents Ceramic Material From The Roman Period (primarily From The Middle Of The 1st Century To The End Of The 4th Century A.d.) In Which Is Included The Relatively Small Number Of Roman Lamps. Since Even Small Fragments Of Lamps Can Be Easily Identified, The Author Has Chosen Them For The Chronological Framework Of The Volume, Cataloguing 62 Examples Of Some 876 Found. The Catalogue Of 214 Pieces Selected From The Vast Amounts Of Pottery Unearthed Forms A Corpus Of Common And Unique Finds From The Sanctuary, With Attention To Sources, Chronology, And Possible Light On The Nature Of The Cult. The History Of The Roman Sanctuary Is Reflected In The Lamps And Fine Wares, Which Are Paralleled Elsewhere; A Preliminary Typology Is Developed For The Coarse Wares, Which Are Primarily Local In Origin. A Lot List Follows Giving The Inventory Numbers Of The Catalogued Roman Objects And Context Coins, With Context Descriptions. The Concordance Is Divided Into Lamps And Pottery, Within And Outside The Sanctuary, The Latter With References To Any Previous Publications. A General Index Precedes Those Of Text References To Catalogued Objects, Signatures And Potter's Stamps, And Findspots Mentioned In The Text.--publisher's Website.

Working far beyond the output of the Potters' Quarter workshops, the Corinthian coroplasts are revealed as inventive, often highly adept in technique, and attuned to stylistic developments in the plastic arts in general. Most importantly, the evidence suggests that there may have been a link in Corinth between the manufacture of terracotta figurines and small bronze ones, especially in the 4th and early 3rd centuries B.C., through the use of shared models. If this is true, the figurines provide a glimpse of the mostly lost bronze production of that period. The figurines are also important because they help to explicate the meaning and conduct of the cult of Demeter and Kore in Corinth. Since the literary sources and inscriptions are unfortunately not as abundant as one would wish, the nature and conduct of the cult must be understood largely through the architecture and other finds. The figural coroplastic art provides additional data on the deities and heroes recognized at the sanctuary, the age and gender of the participants in the rituals, the offerings they brought, and the nature of their cultic activities. Beyond these data, the figurines are examined for what they may reveal through their imagery of the underlying ideas of the cult, how the deities were perceived, why they were approached, and how the cult functioned as a part of Corinthian society."--Publisher's website.
