Among the possessions that Fritz Schachermeyr had gathered in the course of his life, his collection of prehistoric pottery was most dear to him. During the years in which the legislation of the concerned countries still allowed the collection of sherds, and later, when his reputation as the best expert of Aegean ceramics led to donations by the authorities of Greece and other countries, he succeeded to assemble an extensive private collection of ceramic examples from throughout the eastern Mediterranean for the period from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. Despite his involvement with the Nazi party, there is no denying the significance of his collection. The collection was a complete teaching collection and in his will Fritz Schachermeyr decided to hand over the responsibility over his collection, which comprises around 2,000 pottery fragments and some whole vessels, to the former Mycenaean Commission at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. With this legacy we are bound to make the collection accessible to the (professional) public. The collection is therefore kept and managed at the Department for Aegean and Mycenaean research and used for study purposes by professional colleagues and students.
