Notes:

"This volume contains the papers presented at the international conference Athenian Potters and Painters III held at the College of William and Mary in Virginia on September 11- 14, 2012 (http://www.wm.edu/as/classicalstudies/athenian-conference/). The study of Athenian pottery, the most important fine ware in the Mediterranean during the Greek Archaic and Classical periods, is a rich subject, and this is the third conference devoted to it, the first in the USA. The two previous ones were held in Athens, Greece at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens in 1994 and 2007."
