Forschungen im Bereich des Theaters von Aigeira 2011 bis 2018
edited by Walter Gauss
English summary: The theatre terrace of ancient Aigeira is considered to be one of the most interesting architectural ensembles of the Hellenistic period on the Peloponnese. Its exploration is one of the foci of the long-term activities of the Austrian Archaeological Institute in Aigeira. This volume edited by Walter Gauss presents both results from the earlier excavations by Wilhelm Alzinger of the 1970s and 1980s as well as recent research conducted under the direction of the editor in this area between 2011 and 2018. The contributions discuss aspects of the development and design of individual buildings, selected groups of small finds, as well as questions regarding the function of the area and its importance for the political and religious life at Aigeira. German description: Die Terrasse um das Theater des antiken Aigeira zahlt zu den interessantesten Bauensembles hellenistischer Zeit auf der Peloponnes. Ihre Erforschung ist einer der Schwerpunkte der langjahrigen Tatigkeit des Osterreichischen Archaologischen Instituts in Aigeira. Der von Walter Gauss herausgegebene Sammelband prasentiert sowohl Erkenntnisse zu den fruheren Grabungen von Wilhelm Alzinger der 1970er und 1980er Jahre als auch neue Ergebnisse aus den unter der Leitung des Herausgebers zwischen 2011 und 2018 durchgefuhrten Forschungen in diesem Areal. Diskutiert werden Aspekte der Entwicklung und Ausstattung einzelner Gebaude sowie ausgewahlter Gruppen von Kleinfunden, aber auch Fragen zur Funktion des Areals und seiner Bedeutung fur das politische und religiose Geschehen in Aigeira.
