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.
