The Athenian grave monuments preserved there were mostly created during the 5th and 4rth centuries BC. They once belonged to the democratic citizens of Athens and their contemporaries. Many of the marble grave monuments are still on the site. The systematic planting of the area makes it a beautiful biotope that inspired many writers. This book presents a unique collection of the poet's views on the Kerameikos.

Yet, little research has been done on their construction, function and use. This prompted the organization of the workshop Going against the flow. Wells, cisterns and water in ancient Greece, held at the Swedish Institute at Athens on 28-29 September 2017, and subsequent publication of the contributions in this volume. The ten papers presented here offer new evidence as well as a wide range of new perspectives on the use and function of wells and cisterns in ancient Greece. Considering the ubiquity of these installations in every type of setting during antiquity, from pan-Hellenic sanctuaries and civic centres to domestic workshops and remote farmhouses, it is hoped that the breadth of interest among the authors will allow other scholars to advance their own work further, illuminating new and exciting aspects of life in ancient Greece.

In this research program, we explore Athenian topography patterns just outside the city walls. The years 2022-2023 brought a better understanding of the structures in front of the stretch of Athenian city walls to the southwest of the Sacred Street. Features include water managing devices and a symposion room, but many questions arised by these finds need further exploration.

The necropoleis extend alongside the streets leading from the city of Athens towards the countryside, to the harbours and on to other poleis. Apart from tombs and potter’s workshops, also a number of other workshops has been identified on the site. In 2020, an area between two potter’s workshops (indicated by kilns) was investigated on the southwestern side of the street leading from the Dipylon gate towards the Academy, where a famous sacred olive grove was situated. This area had been excavated before, but the structures found had remained enigmatic. During the 2020-2021 field seasons, the structures were re-excavated, cleaned and documented. All details point to the use as an olive mill. As the structures were built over in 403 BC by part of the tombs of the Lacedaimonians, they are securely dated to the 5th century BC. The neighbourhood with potters who could easily use the waste from the oil mill for fuelling their kilns is a pattern that can be seen until today in Greek areas with a strong potter’s production tradition, like Siphnos or Lesbos.
This new interpretation sheds new light on ancient olive oil production techniques and also, it opens the way for a re-evaluation of olive oil production in and around Athens as one of the most powerful economic and cultural resources for Athens.

Archaeological fieldwork in Greece was formed during the 19th century, and it was coined by great men: Ernst Curtius excavated at Olympia, Heinrich Schliemann at Troy, Mycene and Orchomenos, Wilhelm Dörpfeld at Olympia, Carl Blegen at Pylos and Troy and Humfry Payne at Perachora.
In the Kerameikos excavation, the famous Greek archaeologists Athanasios Rhousopoulos and Stefanos A. Koumanoudis were protagonists before the excavation was handed over to the German Archaeological Institute in Athens, where Alfred Brueckner became the first archaeologist working for the GAI there from 1914.
Archaeology in the 19th century also was an Elite business as it was investigating elite sites. This is clearly shown by the interest of Royals such as Elisabeth (“Sissi”) from Austria for the mythology and archaeology of Kerkyra or the funding of the Olympia Excavations by the German Kaiser. Women were rarely represented in both German and Greek (and international) archaeology, despite the fact that there was a wide female interest on archaeological matters in Greece ever since the daughter of Friedrich Carl von Savigny in 1834 wrote vivid letters from Greece about the Mycenian palace of Tiryns. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Kerameikos became a spot of interest attracting also female celebrities like Virginia Woolf. Yet, until after the Second World war, few women worked for the DAI in Athens.
This has changed rapidly since. Today, not only the second female in a row is field director at the Kerameikos site, but also the Institute is directed by a woman since 2014. The talk will present an insight into the structures and reactions that led to this change, it will address questions of gendered archaeological approach and it also will look at society and archaeology taking the Kerameikos site as a case study.
