| Description: | Stacking rings are tools used to stack pottery in a Kiln. A relatively large group of stacking rings was found in the area of the sanctuary of Dionysos in Miletus in the 1970s. Measurements and additional info is gathered in this package and made available for use by other researchers. The data along with its archaeological context and analysis has been published in "Archäologischer Anzeiger" (2020/1, <doi:10.34780/aa.v0i1.1014>). |
