Book Synopsis
This study focuses on the "saucer pyres," a series of 70 deposits excavated in the residential and industrial areas bordering the Athenian Agora. Each consisted of a shallow pit, its floor sometimes marked by heavy burning, with a votive deposit of pottery and fragments of burnt bone, ash, and charcoal.

Trade Review
This masterly study sets an exceptionally high standard for archaeological monographs.
Anne Mackay, Mouseion 13.2 (2016), pp. 460-463.

"This bold and brilliant analysis of the curious phenomenon of saucer pyres will be of interest to all Greek archaeologists and scholars of ancient Greek religion."
Sarah A. James, AJA 120.4 (2016).
