"History of Ancient Pottery: Greek, Etruscan, and Roman. Volume 1 (of 2)" by H.B. Walters is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution and significance of ancient pottery from Greece, Etruria, and Rome, reflecting the advances in ceramic studies and archaeology up to the time of its writing. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the various forms, uses, and artistic aspects of pottery, serving as a necessary resource for students and scholars in classical archaeology. The opening of the volume provides context for the study of pottery as a vital archaeological resource, reflecting the broader exploration of ancient civilizations during the early 20th century. Walters discusses the historical development of pottery techniques, the role of excavation in enhancing our understanding of pottery origins, and the significance of artifacts as cultural symbols. He highlights the shift in the study of ceramics from a mere collection of materials to a more nuanced understanding of their social, historical, and artistic contexts, setting the stage for the detailed exploration that follows in the subsequent chapters.
