Rhyta are among the most appealing yet enigmatic classes of artefacts from the Aegean Bronze Age. They were produced in a wide range of forms and media with a consistently high degree of craftsmanship. This comprehensive study of Bronze Age rhyta from the Aegean builds on nearly a century of discoveries and scholarly contributions, and addresses questions of typology, function, context, and the uses of these vessels. The volume includes a thoroughly illustrated catalogue, an index of sites and the present locations of rhyta.

The long-awaited magnum opus of Robert Koehl is a first-class presentation and discussion of the material. It will be the first point of consultation and the standard work for a long time, well written and, where necessary, well argued; it is a model of how to use and build on earlier work without overtrumpeting convincing new proposals.[...] A comprehensive selection of pieces is illustrated by excellent technical drawings and photographs of good quality.' -- The Classical Review volume 58 no. 1 The Classical Review volume 58 no. 1 Koehls great accomplishment lies exactly in what he set out to do: to explain the how, why, when and where of rhyta. When I put down ABAR, I had the strong feeling that, now as last, we have a good chance of understanding the role these fascinating vessels played in Aegean life.' -- Bryn Mawr Classical Review Bryn Mawr Classical Review An interesting and stimulating book offering a valuable contribution to Aegean prehistory, in particular in its discussion of the mechanical functions of the rhyta.' -- Journal of Hellenic Studies Journal of Hellenic Studies
