In 1995 Jeremy B. Rutter presented the pottery of the Fourth Settlement at Lerna in Lerna III: The Pottery of Lerna IV. The present volume is the companion to the Rutter volume, outlining the architectural sequence of the EH III period at the site with descriptions of the major building types and other features, such as hearths, ovens, and bothroi. Careful examination of the individual buildings and their contents constitutes the core of the text. The changing settlement patterns of the site through time are considered, and sources of influences are suggested.

In all, the presentation, including the catalogue-following the excellent tradition of Lerna publications in including all finds by context-provides a wealth of material for future analyses. The comprehensive appendix on the fauna by Reese (421-67) updates and expands on the identifications by Gejvall. Stationary features such as hearths, ovens, and possible "fire-boxes" are usefully and meticulously published throughout the volume. Attention given to the identification of possible areas for metallurgical practices, food preparation, and storage provide many valuable insights into the doings and workings of an EH III settlement through time. Detailed consideration is given also to the bothroi, and the designation of a large part of them as originally "cooking/warming pits" (21) goes against the common interpretation of them as being primarily for food storage. -- American Journal Of Archaeology American Journal Of Archaeology
