A Day in the Life: Ancient Craft Production at Sikyon, Greece
Thursday, February 6 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST
Scott Gallimore, Assistant Professor, Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University
Since 2013, excavations at the archaeological site of Sikyon in Greece, located just to the west of Corinth, have revealed a workshop complex that was active from the 1st to 7th century AD. This complex had pottery kilns, wine-pressing floors, a furnace for smelting iron, and a shop. In this talk we will explore what this production was like and how it tells us about the daily life of an ancient population and the jobs they carried out.
