(wiki) // The pithos is one of the most distinctive utilitarian forms of the Cretan Bronze Age ceramic repertoire. Because of its use as a storage container, a pithos is the foremost parameter for the evaluation of the economic organization of palatial and domestic sectors of Cretan Bronze Age society. The pithoi as pottery and their significance for the understanding of Cretan Bronze Age economy has been the focus of a research project carried out from 1989 to 1999. The initial impetus for this study came in 1988 at the suggestion of C. Davaras to whom I would like to express my thanks. This book presents the results of the research on the patterns of production and consumption of storage containers. � (Vorwort) // INHALT : LIST OF TABLE AND FIGURES ---- LIST OF PLATES ---- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ---- ABBREVIATIONS ---- INTRODUCTION ---- CHAPTER 1 A Formal Typology For Pithoi ---- CHAPTER 2 Decorative Patterns and Style ---- CHAPTER 3 The Use of Pithoi ---- CHAPTER 4 Traditions and Trends in the Production and Consumption of Pithoi ---- BIBLIOGRAPHY ---- INDEX ---- TABLE ---- FIGURES ---- PLATES.
