The Athenian Agora: Excavations in the Heart of Classical Athens

231 pp. "The great public square known as the Agora was the focal point of life in ancient Athens.... John Camp, Assistant Director of the Agora excavations, brings together for the first time for a general audience the results of fifty-five years' work in the Agora by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. In 1931, when excavations began, not even the location of the original square was known. Today over a hundred buildings and 180,000 objects have been identified." With 200 illustrations, 11 in color.
