Book SynopsisThe author presents the Early Helladic III pottery from Lerna in all its aspects, cataloguing, describing, and classifying over 1,400 vessels.
Trade ReviewVirtually everything you ever wanted to know about the Early Helladic III pottery from the important Peloponnesian site of Lerna is included in Rutter's opus. Over 1400 vessels, from complete to the single sherd, are catalogued, and the vast majority of those illustrated in clear line drawings. The real value of Rutter's work lies in the several hundred pages of detailed analysis of shapes, syntax, and decoration, accompanied by hundreds of tables and illustrations

"Rutter's monumental study of the pottery of the late Early Bronze Age levels of Lerna is truly a major achievement and one of the fullest ceramic analyses the Aegean has hitherto seen. It is of interest not only to ceramic specialists because of its artefactual publication and its methodology but also to archaeologists because of the implications of the material"
