Pottery has been described as the “tail that wags archaeology” because it has been found in such abundant quantities at excavation sites around the world. In today’s tour, we will look at the variety of pottery in the Kelsey Museum from ancient Egypt, Cyprus, Greece, and Rome. While examining the often beautiful vases, we will consider the clues they give about their uses and what they reveal about the people who used them.
