Richard H. Howland, Richard Hubbard

American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Dec 1, 1966 - Social Science - 261 pages

The author has used the trustworthy chronological data supplied by the scientific excavation of closed deposits at the Athenian Agora to build a continuous series of lamp types from the 7th century B. C. to the 1st century A. D. Many photographs and profiles of sections permit ready identification, and a handy graphical chart of lamp types facilitates quick checking of the chronological range of each.
