Archaic and Classical Western Anatolia: New Perspectives in Ceramic Studies: In memoriam of Prof. Crawford H. Greenwalt Jr. Proceedings of the Second KERAMOS International Conference at Ege University, Izmir, 3-5 June, 2015

Each of the Keramos conferences has a distinct theme within ceramic

studies. The proceedings of the second Keramos conference presented in

this volume focus on the ceramic conventions of western Anatolia in the

Archaic and Classical periods. The conference aimed to discuss a wide

range of topics including workshops, chronology and dating, cultural

interactions, trade, movement of ceramics and the spread of ideas,

characterisation and contextualising pottery, classification and

archaeometric analysis. In this respect, the papers in this volume not

only present the results of current research and archaeological material

of western Asia Minor but also include new suggestions, approaches and

questions in ceramic studies.
The second Keramos conference

on ‘Archaic and Classical Western Anatolia: New Perspectives in the

Ceramic Studies’ is dedicated to the memory of Crawford H. Greenewalt

Jr, director of the excavations at Sardis for more than 30 years, and

professor at the University of California, Berkeley. After participating

in several archaeological explorations in Turkey since 1959, Greenie

played an important role and contributed to the advancement of

archaeological research and knowledge especially in Lydia and western

Anatolia.
