Stylistic innovation in Western Greek ceramics: Western archaic polychrome pottery (WAPP) in context

Book : Edited book

This book is the product of a workshop entitled Archaic ‘Elian Style’ Pottery in Western Greece, held at the Norwegian Institute at Athens (NIA) on 18 November 2022. Jointly funded by the Research Council of Norway and the Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History at the University of Oslo, the event benefitted greatly from the invaluable support of the Institute’s staff, particularly Paschalis Zafeiriadis, whose efforts in organisation helped create a warm and convivial atmosphere. The volume has been significantly enriched by the generosity and insights of the workshop discussants, Florentia Fragkopoulou, Anastasia Gadolou, Birgitta Eder, and Stella Katsarou, as well as by valuable feedback from peer reviewers. We are pleased to present these proceedings in the series Papers and Monographs from the Norwegian Institute in Athens and deeply grateful to NIA for its financial support in bringing this publication to fruition. Last but not least, we express particular thanks to Søren Handberg for his support throughout this project and his expert work on the illustrations in this book, as well as to Joos Melander for the regional map included below.
