دانلود کتاب Naukratis: Greek Diversity in Egypt

This volume has its origin in a workshop on Naukratis and EastGreek pottery held at the British Museum in December 2004 asthe 28th British Museum Classical Colloquium, the result of acollaboration between the British Museum and members of theNaukratis Project of SFB 295 at the Gutenberg-UniversitätMainz. Made possible by the generosity of the Gerda-Henkel-Stiftung and the Caryatid Group of the British Museum’s Greekand Roman Department, to whom we extend our gratitude, theworkshop brought together archaeologists, historians andscientists with the aim of generating a fruitful discussion andexchange of ideas and knowledge to further our understandingof the site of Naukratis in its wider, Eastern Mediterraneancontext. As it emerged, the scientific analysis of pottery samplestaken both at the British Museum and elsewhere provedparticular vital for many results presented here. To a large extentthis was made possible by subsidies from the DeutscheForschungsgemeinschaft, by the personal interest of ProfessorHans Mommsen of the Helmholtz-Institut, Friedrich-Wilhelm-Universität Bonn and the various other individuals, excavationsand institutions that allowed material in their care to beanalysed, and by the generous help of the staff of theDepartment of Conservation, Documentation and Science of theBritish Museum, notably Mike Cowell and Duncan Hook.As editors, we have greatly enjoyed working with suchknowledgeable, reliable and responsive colleagues as have cometogether for the present volume. The collaborative spirit thatpervades the volume has its roots in the stimulating discussionand collaborative ambience of the workshop, which led tofurther exchanges well beyond the confines of the actualgathering. We are grateful to all participants, who made it suchan exceptionally productive experience. The contributionsassembled in this volume reflect this ongoing research anddiscourse, which has helped the volume to be, we hope, not justa gathering of individual papers but more a thematically linkedwhole.
