That's a very impressive collection, Kamnaskires! It's better than many museums.

It's great to see your collection displayed like this, Bob. Beautifully laid out and as @Hondo Boguss says, better then many museums. Most impressive, thanks for sharing. |

Woah. Really impressive all grouped like this. Bob, in the case with the sherds, are some pieces from the same original container or is each one from a separate piece of pottery?

Thanks, guys. Quote:
...in the case with the sherds, are some pieces from the same original container or is each one from a separate piece of pottery? Most would be from separate vessels, Dave. One definite exception are two of the larger fragments behind the black box in the last pic. Found in the Cherkasy region of Ukraine, they are clearly from the same vessel, which may have been ancient but, I suppose, might have been medieval. No idea on that one. Came with others from that find spot. See the left and right sherds from my online gallery pic here:  With just one other exception, I am uncertain if any other sherds were originally from the same vessel as each other. However, some lots I have purchased consist of pieces from the same location. So, it's possible. Here are examples. Surface finds, all blackware and presumably Greek, from the Penyal d'lfac in Calpe, Spain. This coastal site was close to the speculated location of Alonis, a Greek settlement mentioned by ancient authors including Stephanus of Byzantium.:  Below are potsherds, mostly blackware, from the northern Black Sea coast (ancient Olbia), possibly found together or at least in close proximity. The two curved pieces (rims), orbiting around the large central fragment, are likely from the same original vessel:  Edited by Kamnaskires

For anyone who may be interested, links to pics of my displays. Outstanding! Quote:
Hopefully the links work. The images are too big for CCF, I believe - thus the links. The first image shows the cabinets and acrylic boxes. The other images are details. No sweat. I added the image tags so they still embed in your post. Some people are fearful of external links, for good reason I suppose.
