[Sca-cooks] BMR review available: Proceedings of the Internordic Colloquium on Ancient Pottery

[Elaine Koogler]

Or...could you put it into the Files section of the SCA-Cooks list on Yahoo
Groups?  That facility is still available and, though I've not used that one
to date, I have found the same thing on another list quite useful!  I know
I'd be interested in seeing it!

> From Mycenaean chariot kraters to Gianni Versace's Medusa china, this
> collection of conference papers is wide-ranging in subject matter,
> methodologically diverse, and, as often with such collections, somewhat
> variable in quality. The purpose of the colloquium, held in Stockholm
> in 1997, was to bring together scholars of ancient Mediterranean
> ceramics from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, to present papers in
> their native languages about "the role of pottery in society." Of the
> twenty-two papers read at the conference, seventeen are published here
> -- fortunately in English -- and Charlotte Scheffer has done an
> excellent job of arranging and editing the volume.  Each paper is
> preceded by an abstract, includes illustrations in the text, and
> concludes with its own bibliography, making it particularly easy to
> track down references.

> Like many other recent vase conferences, the Internordic Colloquium
> managed to present a wide range of wares from Protovillanovan to West
> Slope, to confront diverse iconographical problems, and to consider the
> many roles of ancient pottery in cult, trade, and the afterlife.  As
> such it is a very useful addition to the corpus of ancient ceramic
> studies.
