Amphoras and the Ancient Wine Trade
Although this booklet is based on broken pottery found during the excavation of the Agora, the author ranges far beyond the confines of Athens in her discussion of the purpose and significance of different amphora types. Amphoras were used in the ancient world to transport various different types of products, including wine and oil. The author shows how chronological variations in shape and the geographical clues offered by stamped handles make amphoras a fascinating source of economic information. The booklet illustrates many different forms of amphora, all set into context by the well-written text.
Bristol and America
This volume presents a list of more than 10,000 indentured servants who embarked from the British port of Bristol for Virginia, Maryland, New England, and other parts between 1654 and 1685, giving information on the passengers' origin and destination. Records the name of practically every person who left England for Virginia, Maryland, and the West Indies for the period covered.
The Aerie
It all begins when Pat and Leslie Halston are flying over the fl at tree-covered top of Weeks Mountain in the foothills of the High Sierras one Sunday afternoon in the fall of 1983. After Pat persuades old Mr. Weeks to sell to him, Pat clears the mountaintop enough for a landing strip and a site for the huge repair hangar he wants built for his restoration work. Gradually, eleven other couples join Pat and Leslie and call The Aerie, their home. Personality differences cause friction between some of the residents but surely not enough to result in murder!

Women in the Athenian Agora
Using evidence from the Athenian Agora, the authors show how objects discovered during excavations provide a vivid picture of women's lives. The book is structured according to the social roles women played: as owners of property, companions (in and outside of marriage), participants in ritual, craftspeople, producers, and consumers. A final section moves from the ancient world to the modern, discussing the role of women as archaeologists in the early years of the Agora excavations.
Hellenistic Pottery
