I am an archaeologist and I love mycenaean ceramics.

AN PICTURE TELLS A LOT :



You will face with classification of these 3500 years old ceramics either with motif or shape.

I am hereby ADDING A MYCENAEAN CERAMIC BOOK WITH GOOGLE DRIVE LINK AND YOU WOULD VERY MUCH ENJOY

HERE IS THE LINK OF MOUNTJOY POTTERY BOOK FROM OXFORD UNIVERSITY. Book is accessible at google simply.
