What is The Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore: Terracotta Figurines of the Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman Periods (Corinth 18.4) about?
'This is an important work that contributes greatly to both the study of terracotta figurines and to our understanding of the nature and conduct of the cult at the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore....It is well organized and well illustrated, two very important attributes for any archaeological work. The detailed notes and extensive bibliography are reflective of the careful attention to detail that Merker displays throughout the study. This volume continues the high level of scholarship contained in the three previous volumes and is a worthy addition to the series.' - Scott Moore (Bryn Mawr Classical Review 02.02.2002) This volume publishes the terracotta figurines of the Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods from the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore on Acrocorinth. The coroplastic finds from this site, numbering in total about 24,000 figurines and fragments, greatly enrich the known body of Corinthian figurines not only in number but also in the addition of many entirely new types and style. Working far beyond the output of the Potters' Quarter workshops, the Corinthian coroplasts are revealed as inventive, often highly adept in technique, and attuned to stylistic developmen
