Pottery for the People and by the People: Ancient Ceramics and their Cultural Contexts

Professor Lynch  is the Dorothy and Marion Rawson Professor of Classical Archaeology at the University of Cincinnati. She  is a ceramic specialist interested in Athenian figured wares, with particular emphasis on the role trade played in shaping Attic potters’ and painters’ outputs. The goal of Lynch’s research is to place material culture back into its use-context in order to understand the people who bought, sold, and used the objects. She is currently publishing ceramic material from Gordion and the excavations of the Athenian Agora.
