Studies of Early Greece frequently focus on the emergence of the human figure. Initial scholarship wished to connect the scenes depicted on Middle and Late Geometric pottery with the textual narratives presented in the Homeric epics. While these figural representations have since been divorced from this notion, there is often a lingering tendency to ascribe heroizing interpretations to them. More recent studies have begun to emphasize these visual representations as belonging to objects that performed a role in the formation of social ritual. However, the prominence of museum pieces in such studies inhibits one's ability to employ contextual archaeological properly information in asking "what Geometric imagery was for." 1 Thus, the aim of my thesis is to identify and collect the earliest examples of human figural representations on Attic pottery of the Geometric period from secure archaeological contexts to ask what the frequency and circumstances in which such vessels were used can tell us about their role in the performed commemoration of burial ritual.This thesis presents detailed discussions of the figural pottery from three major cemeteries in Athens, dating to the Middle and Late Geometric periods. These include the Kerameikos Cemetery, the Dipylon Cemetery, and the Tholos Cemetery in the area of the later, Classical Athenian Agora. The case studies presented here show that such images add to the commemoration of burial in three distinct ways. First, they function as a means by which to intensify the interaction between the living and the dead by creating an additional point of interaction, sometimes facilitating the remembrance of mortuary activity well after the actual event. Second, these images help certain burials to adopt the guise of following the expected practice of burial established by other funerary events within a given cemetery. And third, images of generic elite behavior demonstrate one manner by which a wider segment of the population began to express their access to archaeologically visible burial. Ultimately, I conclude that the use of human figural representation was circumstantially and contextually defined by the burying group, providing a flexible and innovative means to demonstrate their participation in elite culture while personalizing the grave deposits of the deceased.
