"Kerameikos, this once-great Attic deme on the northwest outskirts of Athens, was not only the location of the most important historical cemetery between Prehistoric and Byzantine times and the msjor production site for Attica's renowned vases. It is also the place that confirms and conveys whatever is loftiest and whatever basest, the apogee and simultaneously the waning of Athens' golden age." (p. 10) This book describes the terrain, then chronicles the excavation history of this area. Throughout, full-color illustration of sculptures, pottery, and other artifacts fill the pages. Includes a substantial bibliography. A lovely book. One of 470 copies. Scarce.
