ABSTRACT
Despite the prevalent picture of the water supply in the ancient world as being dominated by fountains & aqueducts, the large number of excavated wells & cisterns show that these were the primary water sources for most individuals. Yet, little research has been done on their construction, function & use.
This prompted the organization of the workshop Going against the flow: Wells, cisterns & water in ancient Greece, held at the Swedish Institute at Athens on 28–29.9.2017, & subsequent publication of the contributions in this volume.
The 10 papers presented here offer new evidence as well as a wide range of new perspectives on the use & function of wells & cisterns in ancient Greece. Considering the ubiquity of these installations in every type of setting during antiquity, from pan-Hellenic sanctuaries & civic centres to domestic workshops & 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 & exciting aspects of life in ancient Greece.
