The Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore ─ Terracotta Figurines of the Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman Periods

This study discusses a representative selection of the approximately 24,000 terracotta figurines excavated at the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore on Acrocorinth between 1961 and 1975, with an additional brief session in 1994. The collection includes the figurines of the Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods, which make up the greater part of the coroplastic finds. Material is organized by subject within different periods. Following an extensive introductory discussion in each section, mechanical relationships are recorded in the catalogues, and a summary of workshops brings together figurines of different types that may have been manufactured together. The corresponding b&w illustrations of the figurines follow the concordance of inventory and catalogue numbers, lot lists, and indexes. Oversize: 9.25x12.25<">. Annotation c.
