商品簡介
This volume presents an impressive report of the well- known Xeropolis site, excavated in 1964-1970. The authors include Mervyn Popham (d.2000), who was particularly involved in the excavations and their publication. Published in an oversize format (8.5x12"), the volume contains two fold-out drawings of the site and many drawings and plates. The chapters describe in detail the site and its excavation, the pottery, the terracotta figures, and the small miscellaneous finds. A concluding chapter, by Susan Sheratt, summarizes the chief conclusions to be drawn from the excavation finds and the importance of the site in a larger archaeological context. In addition, a CD-ROM contains appendices on the human burials, the shells, statistics and tables on the pottery, and concordances. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
