Metalwork from Sardis: The Finds Through 1974

Introduction covers earlier expeditions and finds from as early as 1910; a brief synopsis is given of the Harvard-Cornell Expedition from 1958 to 1974. An explanation of the problems with determining the chronological and geographical distribution of the finds is offered. The Sardis metal industry in history is outlined; literary and archaeological evidence is cited, confirming the metallurgical and manufacturing activities that took place in Sardis as well as the imported metalwork. Individual chapters include literary and epigraphic sources; the catalogue of finds (which includes state of preservation and identifies items that have been subjected to analyses); metalwork from Sardis in Turkish, European and American collections; and chemical and metallurgical analyses of metal objects from Sardis. -- AATA
