This volume, the first of two dealing with the Early Iron Age deposits
from the Athenian Agora, publishes the tombs from the end of the
Bronze Age through the transition from the Middle Geometric to Late
Geometric period. An introduction deals with the layout of the four
cemeteries of the period, the topographical ramifications,
periodization, and a synthesis of Athens in the Early Iron Age.
Individual chapters offer a complete catalogue of the tombs and their
contents, a full analysis of the burial customs and funerary rites,
and analyses of the pottery and other small finds. Maria A. Liston
presents the human skeletal material, Deborah Ruscillo presents the
faunal remains, and Sara Strack contributes to the pottery typology
and catalogue. In an appendix, Eirini Dimitriadou provides an overview
of the locations of burial activity in the wider city.
