Chian Relief Pottery and Its Relationship to Chian and East Greek Architectural Terracottas
CHIAN RELIEF POTTERY AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO CHIAN AND EAST GREEK ARCHITECTURAL TERRACOTTAS (PLATES23, 24) rT HE RELATIONSHIP between the relief decorationof temple entablaturesand relief potteryhas been discussedmany times in the past.1Scholars have suggestedsome pos- sible ways that architecturalreliefs might have affectedthe arrangementof the decoration on relief pottery (i.e., compositionin metopes or in a continuous band2),but for the most part they have focusedon the analogies existing between the moldings of temple simas and the formationof the lip of some Cretan relief pithoi, especially those from Arkades. Fea- tures such as the strongly flaring lip of these pithoi, the decorationof the rim with molded tori or with other patternswhich was currentas early as the first half of the 7th century,and particularlythe ridged protrusionshanging from the lip, frequentlyin the form of the head of a lion, bull, panther, or horse, have led many scholarsto comparethe design of these lips with the similar arrangementof the temple sima and to correlatethe protrusionsand the heads with the water spouts of the sima.3 l Some of the problems set forward here were outlined briefly in Simantoni-Bournias,1987. In the paper which follows, comparisonswith Chian material are limited for the most part to parallels from the realm of East Greek art, since influenceis more likely to come from a culturallyrelated area. I am grateful to Dr. M. E. Caskey, who read a draft of this paper and polished my English. I also wish to express my thanks to the Ephor of Chios-Mytilene, Mrs. A. Archontidou,for facilitatingmy study of the material in the Museum of Chios and kindly giving me permissionto present the perirrhanterionstand from the Attaliotis'plot. -

HIS book had its origin in the course of three (Cantor) Lectures given before the Society of Arts in 1889; they have been amplified and added to, and further chapters have been written, treating of the very active period in printing and decorative book- illustration we have seen since that time, as well as some remarks and suggestions touching the general principles and conditions governing the design of book pages and ornaments. It is not nearly so complete or comprehensive as I could have wished, but there are natural limits to the bulk of a volume in the " Ex-Libris" series, and it has been only possible to carry on such a work in the intervals snatched from the absorbing work of designing. -

A Case Study of Monumental Tombs in the Göksu Valley
Ritual, Social Organization, and Monumental Architecture: A Case Study of Monumental Tombs in the Göksu Valley A Thesis Submitted to the Committee of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada © Copyright by Christopher Langlois 2017 Anthropology M.A. Graduate Program May 2017 Abstract Ritual, Social Organization, and Monumental Architecture: A Case Study of Monumental Tombs in the Göksu Valley Christopher Langlois New archaeological material was discovered in 2006 by the Göksu Archaeological Project in an area of Southeastern Turkey known as Rough Cilicia. This thesis documents and explores the material remains from funerary contexts at the sites of Dağpazarı and Topkaya. Architectural analysis of the material from Dağpazarı demonstrates that the remains are of a monumental temple tomb dating to the late second or early third century A.D. Although the remains from Dağpazarı are fragmentary, the evidence is examined to suggest possible architectural reconstructions. The examination of the Topkaya tomb cluster sheds light upon an ornately decorated rock-cut temple façade tomb dating the Roman period. Both sets of tombs are stunning examples of monumental architecture from the Roman period in an area that suffers from a lack of surviving architectural material. In order to understand the variation in monumental tomb forms the relationship between death, burial, and monumental architecture is examined from a functional perspective. The rites of passage are used as a theoretical framework for examining the functional role that monumental architecture plays in the performance of funerary ritual and the formation of social organization in Roman Rough Cilicia. -
