Coins,
for reasons that do not always make sense, are often treated
by field excavators as more reliable chronological indexes than
other classes of artifacts. This always makes their discovery
a welcome event, especially when they are silver or gold which
tend to survive in the ground in a more recognizable state than
their bronze counterparts. The Red Figure pottery does not have
quite the same chronological relevance as the coins but does
on occasion contribute to the dating of archaeological contexts.
Its often high quality and interesting variety of shapes has
already generated commentary elsewhere in addition to what is
presented here. |
