About This Item
A couple of minor tears in top edge of the dust jacket; volume itself is completely clean and unmarked except for inscription from Prof. Thompson to the distinguished medievalist Prof, Kenneth M. Setton of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study (whose copy this was and whose bookplate it bears), where they were colleagues, and again in 1960/61 at The American School of Classical Studies in Athens when Prof. Setton directed the "Gennadion."
The 14th volume of the magisterial 22-volume series The Athenian Agora: Results of Excavations Conducted by The American School of Classical Studies at Athens, this definitive volume traces the history of the center of Athenian civic life from the Neolithic Period to the present. Discussed are civic, administrative, cultural, commercial and religious structures, shrines and temples. Drainage systems, roads, mills and other practical matters of life during the successive periods of occupation and activity are also discussed.
