      abstract = {New insights from the archaeology and pottery of the  sanctuary of Hermes and Aphrodite at Syme Viannou, Crete  The Sanctuary of Hermes and Aphrodite at Syme Viannou VII:  The Greek and Roman Pottery presents in two volumes the  Greek and Roman pottery recovered from the excavation of  the sanctuary of Syme Viannou, one of the most long-lived  and important cult sites of ancient Crete and the Aegean.  The site, which is known as the Cretan Delphi, was  dedicated to Hermes and Aphrodite for much of its history.  The present study analyzes and catalogs 865 pieces, dating  from across the early first millennium BCE to the mid-first  millennium CE. Kotsonas integrates traditional typological  and chronological inquiries with contextual considerations,  macroscopic and petrographic analyses of ceramic fabrics,  and quantitative studies. The resulting work provides  detailed documentation of the pottery from Syme Viannou and  explores its ritual and other roles within the diachronic  panorama of cultic and other activities at the site. It  also supports a broader understanding of the role of  ceramics in sanctuary contexts by introducing  systematically comparative perspectives on the evidence of  pottery from other Cretan and Greek sanctuaries.Volume 1  provides an introduction to the site of the sanctuary of  Syme Viannou and its history, and contains an analytical  catalog of the ceramic remains.},
