FOR HOMER A. THOMPSON AND CHRISTOPH W. CLAIRMONT

PREFACE This volume presentsa large deposit (H 4:5) of potteryand other finds fromthe secondand third quarters of the 5th century B.C., found during the 1972 excavationsof the Athenian Agora. The deposit was excavatedby Susan I. Rotroff under the supervisionof T. Leslie Shear,Jr., Directorof the Agora Excavations,and entrustedto her for publication.In 1983 she asked John H. Oakley to collaboratewith her; work on this volume commencedin the summerof 1984. The two authorsconsultedduringall stagesof writing and study. Rotroffwas primarily responsible for the chapters on the archaeologicalcontext, analysis and catalogue of the non-figuredwares and other finds, and the social context, Oakley for the analysis and catalogue of the figured wares and the historical context. The chapter on chronology was co-authored.Both authors agree with all the conclusionspresented.The manuscriptwas completedin 1987; only the most essential bibliographywas addedthereafter. During the courseof study help was receivedfrom many sources,and it is our pleasure to acknowledgeit gratefullyhere. T. Leslie Shear,Jr. grantedpermissionto study and publish the material, and his knowledgeof the Agora always providedus with a good sounding board for our ideas. He also read our completed manuscript with exceptional care and offeredvaluablesuggestionsfor its correctionand improvement.RichardNicholls, Brian A. Sparkes, Barry Strauss, and Homer A. Thompson kindly read all or parts of the manuscript, and their helpful commentssaved us from a numberof errors.In addition,Richard Nicholls put a completemanuscriptof his unpublishedstudy of terracottasfrom the deposit at our disposal.A numberof other scholarsgraciouslygave of their time to discussdifferent points or provideopinions on various finds;these include John McK. Camp II, Frederick A. Cooper, Peter Davis, Keith DeVries, Virginia R. Grace, Georgios Kavvadias,Ursula Knigge, Carolyn G. Koehler, Adrienne Lezzi-Hafter, Joan R. Mertens, Mary B. Moore, Sarah Morris, Mathias Prange, KatherineA. Schwab, S. C. Stiros, and Nancy A. Winter. The painstakingwork of the editor, Marian H. McAllister, and her staff furtherimproved both text and illustrations. Not to be forgottenare the membersof the Agora staff who made our work in the Stoa of Attalos easy. The former and present secretaries,Margot C. Camp and Jan Diamant, arrangedfor accessto the material and grantedmany special favors. Stephen P. Koob and Alice Paterakismendedthe vases, the late William B. Dinsmoor,Jr. drew the plans, Craig and Marie Mauzy took the photographs, and Kyriaki Moustaki made the final prints. Lynn A. Grant and Helen H. Townsend made some of the drawings of black and plain ware; the others are the work of the authors. The Greek ArchaeologicalService, and in particularEvi Touloupa and Maro Tsoni-Kyrkou,facilitatedour work. The guards,Voula Louvriand Niki Katopodi,transportedthe materialbackand forthbetweenstoragevitrines and workrooms.To all the abovewe owe a debt of thanks.

DEBRIS FROM A PUBLIC DINING PLACE IN THE ATHENIAN AGORA

INTRODUCTION During the excavationseason of 1972, in the course of routine probingof the stratigraphy under the floors of a Roman street stoa at the northwest cornerof the Agora, a deposit of pottery and other material of the second and third quartersof the 5th century was discovered. From the mud and muck of a large pit which had been dug down well below the water table, the workmen extracted fragment after splendid fragment of red-figuredpottery. It was disappoiing to find, when the potterywas washed and spreadout, that most of these fragmentsdid not mend up into completevessels and that we were left with a jigsaw puzzle with too many missing pieces. But as we sorted through the pottery, we were increasingly intrigued by a recurrentgraffito,a ligature, which could be read A, or was it perhaps < ? T. Leslie Shear, Jr., Director of the Excavations,recalledthat the same graffitohad been noted earlier on 14 vases from a well 43 meters to the south, under the Stoa of Zeus, excavated by Homer Thompson in 1935 and publishedby Lucy Talcott soon thereafter(PI. 62, H 6:5).1This was a much smallerdeposit,discardedsome 35 years earlierthan the material in our pit, but the types of pottery representedand the shared graffitoattest a connection between the two. The ligature had been recognizedby Lucy Talcott as n abbreviationof and thereforea mark of public ownership,and its recurrencein even larger numSn.rOo6LOv bers in our new pit convincedus that we were dealing with debris from a public place. Further study has led to the conclusionthat the potteryis the refuse from one of the syssitia or public dining facilitieswhich servedthe magistratesof ClassicalAthens. In an attemptto elucidatethe depositand the events surroundingthe use and discardof the materialin it, we have reviewednot only the remainsof buildingsuncoveredduring investigationsbehindthe Royal Stoa in the early 1970's but also the results of Homer Thompson'sexcavationsof the 1930's in the area to the south that, from the last quarter of the 5th century onward, was occupied by the Stoa of Zeus. Re-examination of other deposits in the Agora and of archaeologicalevidence elsewhere has enabled us also to propose an explanation for the breakageand discardof the pottery. The figured pieces from H 4:5, though fragmentary,are exceptionally fine and add substantially to the Agora's collection of decoratedpottery. For this reason, and because careful study of the deposit as a whole providesclues for the betterunderstandingof public dining as it was practiced in 5th-century Athens, complete publication of the deposit in monographform has been thought appropriate. 1 Talcott

1936; Thompson 1937, pp. 15-17. The well is shown (ibid., pl. 1) just beside the third pier of the Stoa of Zeus (countingfrom the south) and is markedH 6:5 in AgoraXII, fig. 25.

I THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONTEXT Pit H 4:51 lay about 12 meters west of the Royal Stoa, under the easternmostroom of a Roman street stoa which from the 1st century after Christ onward formed the southern borderof the PanathenaicWay beyondthe northwestcornerof the Agora.2Partially overlaid by the median wall of the stoa, it had been dug 1.90 m. deep into bedrock;it was approximately round, with diametervarying from 1.80 to 2.25 m. In addition to the pottery and other terracottaobjectspresentedhere, the pit containedmany stones, chunksof melted mud brick, and burnt material, seemingly debris from a demolishedstructure,as well as many animal bones and shells. The area between the Royal Stoa and the pit saw heavy use in the Roman period, when a propylon was built to provide communicationbetween the Panathenaic Way and the cul-de-sac south of the Roman stoa.3 But traces of a series of Greek walls and floors were preservedunder the southern part of the propylon as well as under the north wing of the Stoa of Zeus and allow a tentativereconstructionof the area in earlier days (PI. 62). The earliest remains west of the Royal Stoa, other than a series of disturbedand undatableburials,4are those of a potter'sestablishment.All that remainedwere two containers filled with potting clay. One was a simple pit in bedrock,ca. 0.90 m. in diameter,located to the south of H 4:5 and cut by it. The other, locatedin the area of the later Room 1, was more elaborate,consistingof a brokentransportamphora,upside down, with a brokenand misfired black-figuredcolumn-kraterdating to the decade 540-530 nested within it.5 No floors could be associatedwith the workshop, but the amphora and krater indicate that it functionedin the Archaicthpee Persians,as did a small sanctuperiod;perhapsit fell victimto under to the the Stoa of Zeus.6 Also is a two-meter stretchof Archaic south, ary probably polygonal masonryrunning northwest-southeastand terminatingin a cornerat the northwest, which had been built into later walls behind the Royal Stoa. This is shown, with conjectured continuationof the walls in crosshatching,on Plate 62. Possibly part of the same structureis a very light foundation0.53 m. wide, runningnortheastfromthe polygonalwall and perpendicularto it for a distanceof ca. 4.5 meters. It is too light for a bearingwall and 1The pit is located in grid square H 4 (PI. 64). For preliminary publication see Shear, Agora 1972,

pp. 383-384, fig. 4 on p. 372. It was excavatedby Susan I. Rotroff,underthe directionof T. Leslie Shear,Jr. 2 Shear, Agora 1970, pp. 260-261; Shear, Agora 1972, pp. 370-382. 3 Shear, Agora 1970, p. 261; Shear, Agora 1972, pp. 374-375. 4 Possibly part of a Submycenaeanburial ground which extended eastward under the Royal Stoa; see T. Leslie Shear, Jr., "The Athenian Agora. Excavationsof 1973-1974," Hesperia 44, 1975 (pp. 331-374), pp. 370-374. 5 We owe the date of the krater (P 29982) to Mary B. Moore. The amphora(P 29981) has parallelsin prePersian contexts,accordingto V. R. Grace;see 0. Broneer,"Excavationson the North Slope of the Acropolis, 1937,"Hesperia 7, 1938 (pp. 161-263), no. 32, pp. 183-185, fig. 21; E. Vanderpool,"The RectangularRockcut Shaft:The Shaft and Its Lower Fill," Hesperia 7, 1938 (pp. 363-411), no. 9, pp. 378-379, fig. 14. 6Thompson 1937, pp. 12-14.

THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONTEXT

may have supporteda bench or shelving against the east wall of a room (restoredin crosshatchingon the plan). Pottery from the stratumdirectlyover it indicatesthat it was out of use by the end of the first quarterof the 5th century (P1.63, SectionB, layer 3).7 The subsequentperiod is that of the material in our pit which, with the exceptionof a few Archaic pieces and five 4th-centuryintrusions (302-306), dates between 475 and 425 (see pp. 9-10 below). The accumulationjust abovethe pit had been dug in 1970 as part of a small trench to test the stratigraphy under the floor of the Roman stoa.8 This trench obscuredthe relationshipof the pit to the layers aroundit, but in an undisturbedarea west of the test trench, strata containing 5th-centurypottery ran over the pit (PI. 63, section A, layers 3 and 4);9 this confirmsthat the pit was filled in the 5th century and that the 4thcenturypieces are intrusive. A group of rather modest architecturalremains can be associatedwith this period. To the southt,underthe Stoa of Zeus, excavationsof the 1930's uncoveredpart of two roomsof a small buildinglocatedjust to the west of te secondand third thd piers of e Stoa countingfrom the north (PI. 62).10Above a stone socle of generally polygonalcharacterthe walls were of mud brick, and masses of mud brick and red plaster were found in the debris east of the structure.The northernroom was furnished with a mud-brickbench 0.80 m. wide, preserved to a height of 0.60 m. and supportedalong its face by a stone socle. Pottery found among the mud brick fallen from the walls is similar to that from pit H 4:5 and closely contemporarywith it,11and the building appears to have been demolishedjust before the constructionof the Stoa of Zeus around425. Excavationproducedno indicationof when the structurewas built, but no Archaic levels could be associatedwith it, and it may well have been erected,as Thompson suggested,soon after the Persian invasion. The constructionof the Stoa put out of use anotherpotter'sestablishment,with a clay pit similar to the Archaicones mentionedabove,locatedsome 60 meterssouth of H 4:5 (see discussionof depositH 7:1, p. 57 below).12Some of the objectsin H 4:5 come from a workshop (the molds for terracottas[361, 362, 364, 365] and perhaps the clay ring [370]), but there is little similaritybetween the bulk of our potteryand that from the shop behind the Stoa of Zeus. Althoughthe two depositswere made at about the same date, the distribution of shapes and range of dates are somewhatdifferent,and elegant stampedware, almost absent from H 4:5, was well representedin the depositbehindthe Stoa of Zeus.13Other forms of industrialactivityare also attestedin this area.14 7 Lots BF' 200, 200bis.

The extension of the Athens-Piraeus railway in 1891 destroyed remains under the north wing of the Stoa of Zeus, and sketchesmade at the time of the railway construction show nothing that can convincinglybe connectedwith the two-roomedbuilding described above.15North of the railway, however, to the west of the Royal Stoa, traces of a series of ancient structuresmay be discerned.16Some 15 metersto the north of the mud-brickbuilding (p. 4 above), the remains of a 5th-century structureare recognizablein several large blocks of pink poros, each measuring ca. 0.70 x 1.50 x 0.45 m. Although some have been shifted and incorporatedinto later walls, most appear to be approximatelyin situ. Taken togetherwith robbingtrenches,cuttingsin bedrock,and fragmentsof other walls of similar material,they provideevidenceof a building with at least three roomsand perhapsa courtyard (restoredin dottedlines on Plate 62). The southeasternroom (Room2) is borderedon the north'7by one of the poros blocks placed slightly to the north of and not quite aligned with the stretch of Archaic polygonal wall noted above. The eastern limit of the room is markedby a stretchof checkerboardmasonryof the same pink poros, built into a later wall a little over a meterwest of the southernend of the backwall of the Royal Stoa and not quite parallel to it. The southernlimit of the room has been destroyedby the railway. The western wall may have followed the same line as a later wall, incorporatingthe Archaic wall mentionedaboveand giving the room a width of ca. 2.30 m. To the west of Room 2 and sharingits west wall was anotherroom (Room 1). Its northern wall can be recognizedin a porosblockwhich lies in a cuttingin bedrockand moreor less continuesthe line of the northernwall of Room2. The west wall is probablyrepresentedby a pillaging trench 0.80 m. wide (close to the 0.70 m. width of the preservedporosblocks);the south limit was perhaps at a cutting in bedrock0.90 m. north of the modernrailway wall, which stops at the later wall that formsthe boundarybetweenRooms 1 and 2. The resultant roomwould have been approximatelysquare, measuringca. 3.40 by ca. 3.70 m. Evidencefor a northeasternroom (Room 3) is slighter, for the eastern wall of the Roman propylon bisects the area. A northern wall is suggested by a group of poros blocks; these do not run in a straight line and must have been shifted since their original use, but they give an approximatenorth-south dimensionof 4.30 m. for the room. The easternwall can be traced in two more poros blocks about a meter west of the west wall of the Royal Stoa, again not exactly parallel to it. Possibly the west wall is markedby a line of hard fill some three and a half metersto the west. 15OnJohnTravlos'planof theArchaicAgora,drawnin 1970(AgoraXIV,pl. 4), thetwo-roomed building

is associatedwith traces of walls further west. On his plan, Travlos restoreda building more than 20 meters long, with an entranceat the west end of the north side. This structurehas continuedto appearon subsequent plans of the ArchaicAgora, though without any explanation (Camp, p. 37, fig. 21; T. Leslie Shear,Jr., "Tyrants and Buildings in Archaic Athens," in Athens Comes of Age: From Solon to Salamis, Princeton 1978 [pp. 1-19], p. 17, fig. 1). Althoughthe two sets of remainsappearto align, the distancebetweenthem makesthe associationquestionable,and the high level of bedrockof the KolonosAgoraioshere makes the restorationof such a building problematical.Furthermore,there is no evidencethat the two-roomedstructureexisted in the Archaicperiod;it is more likely to have been built shortlyafter 480 (see p. 4 above). 16 For a preliminarydiscussionof these remains see Shear, Agora 1972, pp. 382-383. 17 For purposesof this description,"north"indicates"northeast","west"indicates"northwest",and so forth.

It is possiblethat the structureextendedfurtherto the north,but this area is completely coveredby the Roman propylon. A continuationto the west is suggested by a cutting in bedrock0.80 m. wide, extendingthe line of the northernwall of Room 1 beyondthe line of its putativewest wall. This cutting does not appear to the west of the later west wall of the Roman propylon, and so it appears that the western limit of the building was approximately on this line. A room west of Room 1 with a western wall on this line would be very narrow (only about 1.50 m. in width), and so perhaps we should imagine instead a wall running north, possibly forming the western wall of another room or a courtyardin the angle between Room 3 and Room 1. No strata could be associatedwith the use of this building, and the date of its construction remainsa mystery.For its demolition,however,there is evidencein the form of a layer of crushedbedrockwhich overlayits remains.This was found in Rooms 1 and 3 and in the courtyard(?)to the north. It coveredtwo of the porosblocksformingthe northernand southern limits of Room 3 (PI. 63, SectionB, layer 2)18and ran over the bedrockcuttingmarking the western limit of Room 1. A fairly large selection of pottery was collected from these floors.The majorityis similarto that in pit H 4:5, dating in the secondand third quartersof the 5th century,but a handfulof sherdsbring the date down into the last quarterof the century.19The buildingwas thus in ruins by the last quarterof the century. The two-roomedbuilding under the Stoa of Zeus and the structurebehind the Royal Stoa describedabove are in approximatealignmentand functionedat the same time. Their plans give no clue to their identities,and it is possiblethat they were privatehousesor workshops;20but their proximityto pit H 4:5 and well H 6:5, which containedsimilar material, suggeststhat they may have been used in connectionwith our pottery.We do not know the dimensionsof the northernroom of the southernbuilding;it could have been large enough 18 Lots Br' 193, 199; see footnote 19 below. The surfaceof the bedrockfloor in the area of the eastern part of Room 3 lies at +51.251-51.311 m.; the tops of the two blocks coveredby the crushed-bedrocklayer lay at +51.221 m. and +51.241 m. 19Room 1: Lot BF' 203. 224 fragments.Mostly very similar to material in pit H 4:5 and dating between 475 and 425.

for dining. But the rooms of the northernbuilding are certainlytoo small for dining rooms. The structurecouldhave servedas kitchenand pantry,however,and providedstoragespace for the pottery. There are good archaeologicalreasons to link the destructionof these two structures with the destructionand discardof the pottery.The southernbuilding,built of mud brick,is a likely source for the abundantmud brick found in the pit. The layer of crushedbedrock which was excavatedover the northern building in several places was perhaps extracted from pit H 4:5, which may have been initially a quarry pit, used as an afterthoughtas a convenientrepositoryfor the debris. We would reconstruct,then, the following events:destructionof both buildings and the pottery,storedin one or both of them; digging of the pit and spreadingof dug bedrockover the remains of the northernbuilding;and depositionof debris,includingmud brick from the southernbuilding, in the pit. Thereafterthe area to the south was occupiedby the Stoa of Zeus, and little can be said of the later Classical remains behind the Royal Stoa. Fourth-centuryintrusions such as those in H 4:5 and in other pits to the east of it bespeakrearrangementin the 4th century. Just behind the west wall of the Royal Stoa was a deep fill, in which were found additional fragmentsfrom a pot in pit H 4:5 (56); the contentsof the fill were mostly 5th century,some as late as the last quarter,with a few pieces datingto the secondquarterof the 4th century.21 In a pit some seven metersto the southwest,in the line of the wall sharedby Rooms 1 and 2, was a collectionof similar pottery, running down into the last quarter of the 5th century, again with one piece of the secondquarterof the 4th century.22Anothersimilar group came from a stony depositto the north, although nothing there need date after 400.23 Anotherpit was dug in the area of Room 1 in the third quarterof the 4th century;it containeda small collectionof fine pottery,mostly of the secondquarterof the century.24A series of conglomerate blocks,some of which remain in situ in the area of Room 3 and to the north of it, may come from this period (P1.63, Section B; not shown on P1.62), as does a shallow well in the line of the west wall of Room 1, abandonedin the 3rd quarterof the 4th century.25At the end of the century a deep fill was introducedover large parts of the area; it was found in patches in the area of the courtyard(?)and further to the west, as well as over the north 21

boundary of Room 1.26 All trace of subsequent activity in the area was removedby the Romans,who, in preparationfor building the propylon,cut the grounddown to this level. In summary,then, it appears that the material found in pit H 4:5 was used and stored in the area, perhaps in part in the structuresof which traces have been found under the north wing of the Stoa of Zeus and behind the Royal Stoa. Although some of the debris is probablythe result of sporadicbreakageover the years, we are inclined to believe that a large part of it was brokenaround425. In the courseof cleanupit was somewhatdispersed, as is clear from the facts that few pots from the deposit mend up and that similar deposits have been uncoverednear by. Some4th-centurymaterialenteredthe depositin the courseof rearrangementof the area in later times, but the bulk of the potteryis reflectiveof activities that took place in the secondand third quartersof the 5th century. 26 Lot

Br' 179. 426 fragments.Large amountsof Sth-centurypottery,with 17 4th-centuryfragments.The latest are kantharoiof ca. 300 and a late 4th-centuryskyphos.Probablyto be regardedas intrusiveare a saucer with a downturnedrim (3rd century) and a strap handle with ivy-leaf thumb rest (ca. 260 or later). There were three late Roman intrusions.

II THE CHRONOLOGY The figured wares providethe best evidence for dating the deposit, since individual vases can often be dated within ten years. The analysis below (p. 10) summarizesthe dates assigned to figuredvases in the Catalogue.Vases which cannotbe securelydatedto a particular quarterof the 5th centuryare not included. The earliest cataloguedfiguredvase is a small fragmentof a Type A skyphos (12) from the first quarterof the 5th century.1Its scratchedand heavily worn surfaceindicatesthat it te before being swept up. No other probably had been lying on the ground for some time cataloguedfiguredvase dates earlierthan 480. This fact suggeststhat 12 was most likely an old sherd, not directly connectedwith the pottery forming the bulk of the deposit but one which was pickedup during the cleanup that createdit. 116, a hydria,is the earliest figured vase of which a substantialpart remains.It shows no evidenceof havingbeen kickedaround on the floor, only of wear from use around the rim. It dates to ca. 475-470, which, when consideredwith the large number of vases dating to the second quarter of the century, suggeststhat an upper date of ca. 475 for the deposit is in order. The two latest figured pieces, a fragmentarykylix2 by the Eretria Painter (20) and a pyxis (80), date to ca. 430-425. The large column-krater71 is only slightly earlier:ca. 430. The lower date, therefore,should be ca. 425,3 giving us an approximatedate for the deposit of ca. 475-425. The black-glazedware is not so closelydatable,but the range seemsto be similar. More fragmentsfrom the late Archaicperiod were recognized:the very battered6th-centurydisk (298); fragmentsof two stemmeddishes (217 and 225) and four saltcellars(cf. 242), and a tiny piece of a lamp (335), all of ca. 500; two fragmentsof stemless cups of the Class of Agora P 10359 (156 and 157) and anotherlamp (338) dating within the first quarterof the 5th century;and from ca. 480, two more lamps (334 and 336) and perhapstwo plates (251 and 252). This representsthe totality of Archaic material identified. That the number is greater than for the figured pieces is due simply to the larger amount of glazed pottery preserved;in terms of percentageit is an insignificantamount, less than one percentof the black-glazedfragments. The fragmentarynature of the black-glazedpotterymakes precisedating very difficult, but a dozen cataloguedpieces probablycan be placedclose to ca. 425, at the lower end of the span coveredby the deposit. The skyphos 152 is the only one of this unusual shape in the deposit;it is almostwithout parallel, but the delicacyof the shape arguesfor a late date. The 1A few scrappy,well-worn, black-figuredsherds that may be earlier are storedin Lot Br' 248. We have used the ancient name, kylix, for these vessels instead of the more conventionaland equivalent term, cup, in orderto avoidconfusionin places where we are not talking aboutvesselsof only this shape but all drinkingcups.

Amyx, CorinthianVase-Paintingof the ArchaicPeriod II, Berkeley 1988, p. 462. 3 The Rheneia deposit of 426/5 and the Thespian Polyandrion of 424 provide useful fixed points for comparisonin the chronologyof Attic red figure:De'losXXI and D.

THE CHRONOLOGY

bolsal 200 is more closely datable, but it is significantthat the shape is present in only 11 fragments,even though it was in productionthroughoutthe last quarterof the century.The saltcellar247 and the glazed one-handler214 cannotbe datedwith precision,althougheach seems to be the latest of its shape in the deposit. The shallow, convex-concavebowl 232 is probablyslightly earlierthan typical examples of the last quarterof the century.The squat lekythos,representedby 275 and severaluncataloguedfragments,standsat the beginningof the series,which is thoughtto begin around425. A few lamps (341, 343, and 344) anticipate developmentsof the last quarterof the centurybut retain featuresof the third. Although the bulk of the black and plain pottery falls within this range, five later intrusions date in the 4th century (302-306; see p. 4 above). The only one that can be dated precisely is the cup-kantharos(302), probablyof ca. 375; the others are at least that late, possiblylater.

III ANALYSISOF THE FIGURED WARE The catalogue includes representativeexamples of all shapes present in the deposit. Not includedbut storedin lots1are fragmentsthat do not clearly belong to cataloguedpieces or which have either no figural decorationor an insignificantamount (i.e., small parts of mantled figures, part of a palmette, a section of a staff, etc.). Table 1 (p. 131 below) lists the figuredshapes representedin the depositand their estimatedquantity. The most striking figure is the number of kraters, 87, which is more than half of the estimated 172 figuredvases;this proportionis most likely due to the fact that there are few black-glazedkratersin the deposit (202-204), which is also the case in general at this time, so that the figured kraters filled the need for vases of this shape. Three-quartersare bellkraters,although each of the four main types used in the fifth centuryis represented:bell-, calyx-, column-, and volute-krater.At least sevenbell-kraters(e.g. 36-38) have lug handles, the type used on the earliest.2Two are large (37 and 38), their mouths having diameters Both were painted by Earlier Mannerists, and the similarityof the potting and over 45 cm. Bo their finish indicatethat they are a pair, probablymade and sold at the same time.3At least three other cataloguedkratersappearto have been as large (34,69, and 71), while a number of othershave rims about 40 cm. in diameter(27,41,48, and 62). At the other extremeare a series of small bell-kraters,whose mouths have a diameterof about 20 cm. (e.g. 42 and 53).4 Still other kratersfall in the middle (30, 36,40,49, and 72). Complementingthe kratersare two stamnoi (124 and 125). Thus, a full range of sizes and shapes of mixing vessels is present; only dinoi are missing. A few kratersare clearly early (26, 27, and 58), but most date between 460 and 450. This indicatesa dramaticincreasein the numberavailablefor dining at this time. The same is true of the deposit as a whole. Of the relatively small number of late pieces, 71, the large column-kraterof ca. 430, is importantbecauseit is one of the few nearly completelarge vessels from the deposit, and it is one of the latest. There are five types of drinkingvessels:kylikes, cup-skyphoi,kantharoi,skyphoi, and mugs. The earliest are the black-figuredkylikes and cup-skyphoi,most of which are products of the Haimon Painter's workshop (3, 5, and 6). The red-figuredkylikes (17-20) all come from aroundthe middle of the century,except for 20, a very fine piece by the Eretria Painter. It is one of the latest vases and is importantfor helping to determinethe terminal date of the deposit.A single fragmentfrom a white-groundkylix (133) is the sole representative of this class of uniformly fine vases. Relatively rare red-figuredshapes are kantharoi 1

Lots Br' 239, 248, and 250-253. There are ca. 800 fragments,some of which join. Lot Br' 252 has lug handles from at least four other kraters. For early bell-kraters,see CB II, p. 50; A.-B. Follmann, Der Pan-Maler, Bonn 1968, pp. 50-51; and Agora XII, p. 55; 202 also has lug handles. 3 Lot BP' 253 has fragmentswhich obviouslybelong to one of these kraters,but it is not possible to determine which one. 4 See also 43 and 50; no rim fragmentssurvive from these, and so the diameterscannot be estimatedwith accuracy,although they are clearly from small bell-kraters. 2

(21 and 22) of the Class of the Czartoryskikantharosand three mugs (23-25). Both the Attic and Corinthianform of the red-figuredskyphosare represented(12-15). The blackfiguredskyphoi (1 and 2) are too fragmentaryto determinetheir exact shapes. Some of the earliest vases in the deposit are red-figuredhydriai (116-118), and there are more early vases of this shape than any other red-figuredshape. Other large containers include a red-figuredpelike, a red-figuredneck-amphora,and a Panathenaicprize amphora (115, 110, and 11).5 A wide range of smaller containersis also found:lekythos,alabastron,askos, and oinochoe. Lekythoiare the most numerousand vary in size and type. Secondarylekythoiare the most common,and there are black-figured(8-10), red-figured(94-102, 104, and 105), and white-groundexamples (135). Others are a standardcylindricalred-figuredlekythos(103) and red-figuredsquat lekythoi (108 and 109).6 Among the earliest are the black-figured palmette lekythoi from the Beldam Painter's workshop (8 and 9), while most of the redfigured lekythoi date to the decade 460-450. Two red-figuredlekythoi by the Carlsruhe Painter (97 and 98) are clearly a pair, probablymade and sold at the same time. Thus, the nature of the figured pottery as a whole is connectedwith dining. All the necessary vessels are present: for drinking, mixing, pouring (oinochoai), and containers large and small. In this respect,the relativelyrare red-figuredplate (79) fits in well. Only three vessels are out of context. The pyxis (80), a containernormally connectedwith the woman's toilet, could conceivablyhave had some function in a dining situation. The other two, however,are ritual vases connectedwith the weddingceremony:a lebes gamikos(130) and a loutrophoros(114). Both are fragmentary,and the loutrophoros,which is betterpreserved,is clearly worn; therefore,it probablyhad been brokenearlier than the bulk of the pottery, knocked around on the ground for some time, and only joined with the dining pottery at the time of the cleanup that created H 4:5.7 The same is true of a few other fragmentsin the deposit (e.g., the skyphos12, the column-krater72, and the hydria[?]123). Two factors indicate that our deposit representsonly a part of the figured pottery. First, some very fine vases which have distinctiveornamentor figural decorationare preserved only in part (e.g. 34 and 41). The remaindermust be depositedsomewhereelse. The second is that fragmentsfrom the figuredvases in the depositwere found elsewherein the vicinity: part of 56 comesfrom the dump west of the Royal Stoa, north of the bothroi,and part of 72 is fromthe building fill of the Royal Stoa. Attestingto the generallyhigh quality of the figuredvases is the fact that nearly a third can be attributedto or associatedwith painters and workshops.In a numberof cases more than one vase, often of different shapes, can be assigned to the same hand. For example there are a full-size bell-krater,a small bell-krater,a lekythos,and a hydria by Hermonax 5 The Panathenaicamphorafragmentsin Lot BF' 248 are probablypart of 11.

6 There are

fragmentsof a standardcylindricalwhite-groundlekythosin Lot BF' 259 that are so worn that no trace of the scene remains. 7 The Panathenaicprize amphora (11) also seems out of context but might have been present because of the oil it held. There is no reasonto believe that there were not some prize amphorasleft over after the games were completedand the vessels used otherwise, possibly, as would be the case here, in connectionwith state activities.

Other "sets"include a bell-krater and an oinochoe by the Niobid Painter along with a neck-amphorain his Manner and a kraterfragmentpossiblyby him (39, 89, 110, and 64), and a bell-krater,a kraterfragment, and fragmentspossibly from stamnoi (40, 66, 127, and 128) by the Villa Giulia Painter. Complementingthese are vases which are pairs from the same workshopor hand that were probablymade and sold at the same time:the two lekythoiby the CarlsruhePainter (97 and 98) and the two large bell-kratersby the LeningradPainter and anotherEarlier Mannerist (37 and 38). Two more vases from the "Mannerist"workshop8may join the latter pair to make another "set":a pelike (115) by the Pig Painter and 77, a column-krater(?)by the LeningradPainter. There are also other instanceswhere vases may be by differentpainters from the same workshop:from the Polygnotanworkshop9a bell-kraterfragmentclosest to the Christie Painter and the Group of Polygnotosand a column-kraterfrom the Group of Polygnotos (50 and 71), and from the workshop of the Boreas-FlorenceGroup10a bellkrater probablyby the Boreas Painter (41) and another by the Painter of London E 489 (36). In the instanceswhere an artist'sdevelopmentcan be distinguishedin differentphases, it is interestingto note that when there is morethan one vase by a single hand, they are from the same phase of the painter's career. The Niobid Painter's vases come from his early career,while those of Hermonax and the LeningradPainter are late. This furthersupports the idea that some of this dining ware had been bought at one time as "sets". With this in mind it is even more interestingto note that every major Early Classical workshop of "pot painters"is represented:those in the Berlin Painter's tradition (Hermonax and possiblythe ProvidencePainter), that of the Boreas-FlorenceGroup (Painterof London E 489 and possibly the Boreas Painter), the Mannerists' (LeningradPainter, Pig Painter, and perhaps the Agrigento Painter), the Niobid Painter's,11and the Villa Giulia Painter's workshop. In addition, lekythoi from many of the most productiveartists of this period specializing in this shape are represented:Bowdoin Painter, Aischines Painter, and CarlsruhePainter. Not representedare many of the Early Classicalworkshopsspecializing in the productionof kylikes.This is not surprisingconsideringthe relativelyfew red-figured kylikesin the depositand their very fragmentaryconditionwhich makesit difficultto attribute them.'2Also missing are many of the less productive"pot"painters,as well as those not clearly associatedwith a large workshop of painters:for example, the Oreithyia Painter, Deepdene Painter, Alkimachos Painter, and Aegisthus Painter.'3 This indicates that the purchasersdealt primarilywith the biggest and most productiveworkshopsand not with a select few. 8 9

A number of vases are important because of what they tell us about the artists who paintedthem. Five vases are the first known examples of a shape decoratedby a particular painter: a kantharosby the Lewis Painter (21), a bell-krater by the Painter of London E 489 (36), a bell-kraterby the LeningradPainter (37), a column-kraterfromthe Group of Polygnotos(71), and a loutrophorosby the Altamura Painter (114). Previously,the Lewis Painter was only known to have decoratedskyphoi, both those of the Attic and those of the Corinthian form. The bell-kraterwas a shape rarely decoratedby Hermonax, and so the two new examples by him (42 and 48) are important,especially42, which is the first small one known. A cup-skyphos from the Lancut Group (3) is by a follower of the Haimon Painter whose hand can now be recognizedon at least three other vases. More by the same artist are likely to be found in Beazley's lists of vases connectedwith the Haimon Painter, but many of them are unpublished.The skyphosby the AkridionPainter (13) is a welcome additionto the nine vases known from his hand. Since so many of the vases are fragmentary,it is not possible to determine or even suggest what the scenes on them were. From those which are discernible,no particularly distinctiveor unusual pattern appears. From mythology,satyrs with or without maenads are the most popular subject (3, 5, 21, 23, 27, 67?, 68, and 120). This is what one might expect on vases connectedwith drinking and dining. Amazons,both those fighting Greeks and by themselves,are the next most popular subject(20?, 41, 53, 71, and 83). Gods pursuing their loves, scenes which began in the Late Archaicand becamevery popular during the Early Classical and Classical periods,are well represented,although Eos pursuing Tithonos, who occur twice (71 and 123), are the only figures who can be securelyidentified. Another popular scene of the Early Classical and Classical periods, Apollo, Artemis, and Leto making a libation, occurs at least once and probablytwice (48 and 126). 38, though fragmentary,may well be the earliest depictionon red-figuredvases of the Dioskouroisetting out. Also fragmentary,but iconographicallyinteresting,are the scene(s) of the 'Death of Orpheus' (32 and 33?) and a possible'Judgmentof Paris' (16). Thus, in respectto mythological scenes, although there are some interestingpictures,the vast majorityof the material displays the standardsubjectmatterof its time. The same is also true with scenes of everydaylife. Women (17, 80, 96-102, 106, 109, and 132?), youth and woman (6? and 115), or youths (13,24, and 25) are the most common. Departure and arming scenes (37, 40, 46?, 60, 65?, and 81?), frequentlydepictedsubjects, are also represented.Less common scenes include hoplitodromoi(36) and skaphephoroi (113). Individualfiguresof interestbecauseof the mannerin which they are depictedare a figure holding a portableloom (122), an outdoorsman(43), and a flute player in an ependytes (patternedtunic;54).

IV ANALYSISOF THE NON-FIGURED WARES AND OTHER FINDS Despite their fragmentarystate of preservationand their resistanceto fine dating, the black and plain wares, the lamps, and miscellaneousobjectsare worth presentingin detail for a number of reasons. Although black-glazedpottery of the 5th century has been thoroughly studied and a reliable sequencehas been workedout, this, as the first large depositof material from the Agora to be excavatedand published since the appearanceof Agora XII, can offer a checkon the dates proposedin that publication.The chronologyof the potteryof the period480-450 has been called into questionby the excavatorsat Thorikos,1and the material in H 4:5 offersthe opportunityto refineor correct,if necessary,the chronologyoutlined in AgoraXII. In most cases that chronologyis supported,althoughthere are some instances where slight adjustmentis suggested.The Catalogue and accompanyingcommentaryprovide referenceto virtually every shape that was identifiedand, in so far as possible, to the range of variationwithin that shape. Some fragmentsof unidentifiedshapes have also been included,either because they representvariantsthat do not appear in the published literature, or becausethey representa shape that was particularlynumerous. It is instructiveto see not only which shapes are represented,but the proportionsin which these are present. Becauseof the fragmentaryconditionof the pottery,however, it is difficultto quantify. Much of the kitchenware was discardedafterinitial sorting,and so our sample there may not be truly representative.Furthermore,although the totality of the black-glazedpottery was ostensiblysaved, the fact that very few wall fragmentsare represented suggests that some material has been discarded.The estimates in Tables 2 and 3 (pp. 133-138 below), however, give a general idea of the proportionaterepresentationof black-glazedand plain shapes. FINE WARES: OPEN SHAPES SKYPHOS

Skyphoi are the most numerousdrinkingcups in the deposit,with those of Attic shape morethan three times as numerousas those of Corinthianshape. One hundredsubstantially completefeet of Attic Type A skyphoialong with nearly 700 smallerfragmentsof feet were recovered.The range in date seems to be, for the most part, in the secondquarterof the 5th century. Some pieces (136) show no trace of the double curve that begins soon after 480.2 1H.

ANALYSIS OF THE NON-FIGURED WARES AND OTHER FINDS

Others have only a slight suggestion of such a curve (137, 138, and more so on 139 and 140).3 None approachthe profileof examples dating in the last quarterof the century.4 A few deviationsfromthe normalpatternof glazing may be noted,mostlyon the underside. 137 and 141 have a mainly black undersidewith a reservedband at the edge and a reservedcenter with concentricglazed circles and dot. The reservedsurfaces are covered with a darkmiltoswash. Three skyphoihave this treatment,and the same was notedalso on seven bases of one-handlersor stemless cups (cf. 265); all possibly emanate from the same shop.5The entireundersideof 139 is glazed. Parallelsfor this treatmentare mostlyArchaic,6 but the profile, with a slight double curve, places our piece later. That this is not simply an Archaicstray is also indicatedby the fact that sevenmorepieceswith similartreatmentwere foundin the deposit.140 is totally glazed, on restingsurfaceas well as underside.Again, the parallelsare Archaic,but shae suggestsa date in the secondquarterof the 5th century.141 is remarkableboth for its size and for the rays abovethe base. A garlandof leavesand berries appearsin mixed red-figureand added-painttechniquebelow the rims of two examples(e.g. 142); althoughthey vary in details,they are quite similarin size and shape and are perhapsa pair. The Type B Attic skyphos,distinguishedby a verticalhandleor handles,is represented by ten handles preservingenough of the rim for identification(e.g. 143) and seven narrow bases (e.g. 145) that, from their proportions,are probablyto be assignedto this type. Also probablyof Type B is the patternedfragment144, with a laurel or olive wreath below the rim, paintedin a very differentstyle from 142. No complete profile of a Corinthian skyphos was recovered,and so it is difficult to suggest firm dates for our fragments.At least some of these were public property,for 147 is marked E5. The material can be divided accordingto the treatment of the lower wall: glazed, reserved,or reservedwith rays. Of these, reservedis least common,while the other two are aboutequally represented.Only two Corinthianskyphoi(e.g. 149) bear crosshatching; one would expect more in light of its supposedintroductionabout 450.7 On two pieces, both unique in the deposit,the undersidewas treatedin an unusual way: 150 has been dipglazed totally black, and on 151 the resting surfaceis reserved. In the mid-5th century, delicate skyphoi with projectingfeet with flat resting surface and broad, concave inner face were occasionally produced.8This foot appears on eight pieces in the deposit (e.g. 153), doubtlessall from the same shop. The foot of the tiny fragment 152 is also unusual:it has an inset undersideand narrowrestingsurface,with a slight concavityat the base of the wall. It probablydates close to 425, anticipatingthe thin, elegant shapes of the last quarter of the century;a close parallel comes from the Crossroads 3 Cf.

Enclosure,a depositof the secondhalf of the 5th century.9152 also providesa third instance of crosshatchingin the deposit. Five fragmentsmay representa more elaborateversion of Attic skyphos, with a reserved, molded foot (e.g. 155). The foot is closer to that of late Archaic cup-skyphoi,10but the lower wall is too steep to attribute the fragmentsto that shape. There are fragments,too, of Subgeometricsurvivalskyphoi (e.g. 154). STEMLESSCUP

The small stemless cup of the Class of Agora P 10359 is representedin the deposit by two pieces (156 and 157). 156 addsto the substantiallist of cups of this type glazed with intentional red,11all of which were perhaps producedby a single workshop.These cups are among the earliest pieces in H 4:5, dating in the first quarter of the fifth century or only slightly later.12 The Rheneia cup is by far the most commonstemlesscup in the deposit,representedby about 160 non-joiningfoot fragments.Most are not well enough preservedfor close dating, but the proportions,in general, are closer to the earlier than to the latest examples in the series. Some fragmentspreservethe reservedhandle panels that were discontinuedafter ca. 450 (159, 160). Of interest is 158, glazed intentionalred except for the foot, the same pattern of glazing that is found on the group of cups of the Class of Agora P 10359 mentioned above. This and the form of the foot place it too at the beginning of the series. On 163 the foot resemblesexamples dated ca. 480-470, but the profile and handles, which are slightly constrictedat the base, suggest links to pieces of the third quarter of the century.13This illustrates the dangers of dating fragments, since earlier and later features may be represented on a single pot. On most cups the foot has the wide resting surfacetypical of earlier pieces, but a few are more developed(162), with narrow resting surface and convex sides. Stamping appears on five fragments (164-166 [three virtually identical pieces from the same workshop],167 [perhapsalso from the same shop], and 168), which dates them after aboutthe middleof the century,but no exampleshave the low profileof cups of ca. 425.14 In addition,the design of 164-166, where a band of maeanderdefinesthe tondo, is dependent upon red figure, suggestingthat the pieces come fairly early in the historyof stampeddecoration. 174 resemblesa stemless cup in all particularsexcept for a molding inside the circumferenceof the foot. The piece retains the early reservedhandle panel but is stamped, and probablydates, therefore,slightly after 450. Most of the lE graffitiwere found on the undersidesor floorsof Rheneia cups (160,169-173 and uncataloguedexampleslisted in the Catalogue);it was apparentlythe preferredgovernment-issuedrinkingcup of the mid-5th century. 364-369.

Among large stemless cups, the heavier bodied types are relatively common,but, surprisingly, the delicate class'5 is lacking altogether.About a third as numerousas the Rheneia cup is the large stemless cup with inset lip. 175 representsthe earliest stages, in the second quarter of the 5th century, with the handle panels and the outer face of the foot reserved.'6Many pieces on which the outer face of the foot is glazed were also recovered(cf. 176). Four feet (e.g. 177-179) are identicalin shape and treatmentto AgoraXII, no. 472,17 a large stemlesscup with inset rim datingca. 470-450. The massivefoot is carefullylipped; the broad, flat resting surface is glazed. Unlike Agora XII, no. 472, however, these four pieces carryimpresseddecorationon the floor:a large rosettesurroundedby glazed grooves akin to that on AgoraXII, no. 483 of ca. 450.18This type of purely incisedpatternis probably early,19dating around mid-century.The similaritiesof shape, decoration,and even of treatmentof the undersidesuggest that all four were made in the same workshop.An undecoratedpiece of the same shape was also found. 180 may be the rim of a plain-rimmedstemless cup, although it is rather lighter and more delicatethan most of the large variety. Perhaps insteadit comesfrom a plain-rimmed Rheneia cup. KYLIX

The heavy, serviceableType C kylix is representedby only four fragmentsof stems. A few small pieces may derivefrom Type B kylikes:the rim (187) with interioroffset and the large foot with offset at junction of base and stem (188). In view of the rarity of Type B in black and its popularityfor figureddecorationit is likely that these comefrom figuredcups. The much smallerVicup is the standardblack kylix of the deposit. 181 and 182 are the best preservedexamples. The foot 183 probably comes from a Vicup; 23 such feet were found in the deposit.A group of 14 similar but slightly larger and more elaboratelytreated feet (e.g. 184) may come from Vicups as well; the profile is more concave, onlowerthe part of the outer edge glazed, and the diameter(7 cm. or larger)is greaterthan normal.The Vicups from H 4:5 are remarkablysimilar to those from H 6:5, which are themselvesuniform in size and often markedwith the AEligature,20althoughnone of the fragmentsin H 4:5 are so marked.The relativerarity of this shape in H 4:5 is perhapsan indicationof the later date of deposit,well after the heyday of the Vicup in the secondquarterof the century. Acrocupsof two types are represented.185 has the characteristicflat undersideand a lightly lipped torus edge;it is unique in the deposit.Anothervariety,presentin 17 examples (e.g. 186), is quite different,with conical underside,but has a molding at the junction of stem and bodytypical of the Acrocup.Parallelsare suggestiveof a date in the secondquarter of the 5th century. 15

The foot 189, unique in the deposit,is hollow, and the surfacehas been partiallytreated with intentional red. Intentional red is also found on 190, a delicate, shallow kylix with horizontalgroovingon the exterior. The two may be part of the same kylix; a black-glazed concaverim is probablyto be restored.Three fragmentsof the shape in black glaze were also found. MUG

The Pheidiasmug, which enjoyeda brief vogue as a drinkingvessel in the secondhalf of the 5th century, is altogethera fancier cup than most in the deposit and is representedby half a dozen examples. The ring foot of 192 places it beyondthe earliest stages of development of the shape; its reservedbottom, apparentlyabandonedin the later stages, shows on the other hand that neither is it among the latest. 193 is a rather small example, again not amongthe earliest, since it bearsstampeddecorationand has a cabledband at the base of the neck. Stamping is also found on 194, from below the handle of a ribbed (Pheidias?) mug. Probablythe same stamp appears on a Pheidias mug in the Royal Ontario Museum, dated by Hayes to 440-420.21 The stamp appears again on a small strap handle (195), possibly from 194, although the strap handle was not usually used on Pheidias mugs after 460. Intriguing on 195 is the tiny letter E inscribedabovethe stampedpatternbeforeglazing. Two fragmentscan be assignedto two-handledmugs. Best preservedis 197, with outturned rim, strap handle, and continuouscurve. It is remarkablysimilar in glaze and shape to two red-figuredexamples of the same shape (23 and 24) and couldbe a non-joiningfragment of the former;it is likely, in any event,to be the work of the same potterand contemporary with them. The smaller fragment, 196, is ribbedand has stampeddecoration;it could also come from a one-handledmug or small oinochoe.An Early Classicalone-handledmug providesthe best parallel for the base of 199 (examples occur three times in the deposit), althoughthe shape of the wall seems to be somewhatdifferent.198, of which only the base is preserved,may also comefroma one-handledmug, althoughit is not closelysimilarto any of the examples from the Agora. Those, however,are themselvesvery heterogeneous. OTHER DRINKINGCUPS

The bolsal is representedby 11 fragments from ten different vessels (e.g. 200), the phiale by two fragmentsof a single vase (201). The bolsal only beganto be madein the third quarter of the century,22which may accountfor its rarity here. The phiale, used as a libation vessel or a drinkingcup, is equally rare in othercollectionsof Attic pottery.Parallelsfor both shapes suggest that our examples date close to 425. The glaze of the phiale has fired black on the inside and upper outside, red on the lower exterior, an effect achieved by stacking in the kiln. It thus superficially resembles a small group of phialai that had an 21

intentional-redbowl and black rim;23here the same effectwas producedmoreeconomically without resortingto intentionalred. KRATER

The proportion of figured to black kraters in the deposit is illustrative of the comparativerarity of the shape in black glaze. All three black examples fit within the chronotheof depositbut are difficultto date in their fragmentarystate. The types are logical range of those representedelsewhere in the Agora: bell-krater (203), bell-kraterwith lug handles (202), and column-krater(204). All three have some patterneddetail, and that of the two bell-kratersis amply paralleledin figuredpieces. The lugged is the earlier and rarerof the two varieties of bell-krater;202 may date in the second quarter of the century. The bellkraterwith horizontalhandles (203) seems to be a fairly early one of its type, datingaround the middleof the 5th century;an unusual detail of its shape, the moldingat the bottomof the rim band, can be paralleledin figuredpieces of that date. The column-krater(204) also has some patterning (an ovolo around the bases of the columns),which is very rare on figured pieces; there are, however, some comparandaof the second quarter of the century, which may be indicativeof date. ONE-HANDLER

The banded one-handler (205-209) is mostly an Archaic shape, although it continues on until the mid-5th century;24it is relativelywell representedin H 4:5. Surprisingly,the angular wall, said to be typical of the later developmentof the shape, does not occur. All have instead a continuouslycurvingprofile;on 208, however,there is a slight flaringbelow the rim. The rims are close to roundedbut usually with a more or less pronouncedslope towardsthe inside.25At least one of these was public property,for 206 has a ECgraffitoon its floor. There were also two miniatures(cf. 209), a variantnot noted in AgoraXII. Black one-handlers(210-214) were more difficultto identify in fragments,since their feet could not be distinguishedfrom those of bowls of other types. Rims, however,could be recognized,and rim fragmentswith handles attachednumbered27. Of the 130 rim fragments counted, 126 had a flat upper surface, such as is found on examples of the third quarter of the 5th century;26only four had the incurvedrim that occurs on a late Archaic piece.27All the bodies showed a continuouscurve. The rims are slightly incurved,rounded or sloping on top; on 210 there is a flare below the rim. Some (e.g. 210 and 211) have parallels in a mid-5th-centurydeposit in the Agora,28others (e.g. 212 and 215) in the potter's debrisof 435-425, excavatedbehind the Stoa of Zeus.29 23 See AgoraXII, p. 272, under no. 520, for references. 24 AgoraXII, p. 125. 25 Cf.

STEMMED DISH

217 and 218 are fragmentsof convex stemmeddishes;none of the feet characteristicof this type have been identifiedin the deposit, although perhaps some of the supposedkylix feet in fact derive from stemmeddishes. Only 217 is as early as ca. 500, with its distinctly undercutrim and reservingbelow the rim. Twelve others are of a later, simplifiedstage (cf. 218), with a glazed groove below a slightly thickened rim; they may date to the decade 470-460. A single fragmentof a chalice-shapedstemmeddish (225) lacks foot and rim but resemblesexamples of ca. 500. 226 is reminiscentof a modernwine glass, with its thin stem and nearly hemisphericalbowl; a parallel from the CrossroadsEnclosuresuggestsa date in the third quarterof the century.30227 is identicalin shape to the broad-rimmedbowl 236, except that it sits on a stem; it may be by the same potter and date in the middle of the century. The stem of the red-figuredkantharos21 is very similarly treated and may also come from the same hand;certainlyit must be contemporary.228, a small stemmeddish or bowl with concavelip, probablydates about 470. 219 has a slightly thickenedrim, flat on top; its exterior,like that of 220 and 221, is decoratedwith a broad,shallow, reservedband. There are a few parallels for both the shape of the rim and the reservedband in red-figuredstemmeddishes dating in the secondquarterof the century. Fourteen additional wall fragments with the distinctivereservedband were identified;another,more completeexample comesfrom a relateddepositnear by, and many more fragmentshave been noted in context pottery from behind the Royal Stoa. It is peculiar that this shape, clearly very rare in both red figure and black glaze, is quite well represented in the deposit. Probably to be associatedwith this shape is a series of bases with concaveouter edges and broad resting surfaces,which differ one from anotheronly in details of glazing and profile (222-224). BOWL

Fragments of nine deep bowls with convex-concaveprofile were found. 229, the most complete,is unusual in its totally black underside,with no scrapedgrooveor reservedportion. This featurefavorsa date after 480, and the piece may date in he secondquarterof the century.About equally commonis the shallow bowl with convex-concaveprofile;the catalogued pieces illustrate the range of variation.The broad resting surfaceof 230 is an early trait, apparentlyabandonedafter ca. 425. This piece is atypicalin that there is no grooveor molding at the lower edge of the upper, convex part of the wall; no parallels occur in the Agora, but one has been noted at Sardis.31231 and 232 have narrowerresting surfacesbut still find parallels in contextsof the third quarterof the century.232 is probablythe later;in profile it resemblesseveral examples of the last quarter of the century,but it lacks the distinctivetreatmentof the undersidesharedby these;32it may thereforeprecedethem slightly, datingjust before425. 30 Shear, Agora 1971, pp.

It is most closelyrelated to the predecessorof the later bowls with incurvingrims;33a fully developedform of this type, in smaller size, is well representedin the CrossroadsEnclosureof the secondhalf of the 5th century.34Two morebowls of less carefulmanufacturemay have been used for food preparationrather than at the table. 234 is in shape similar to the household lekane, although it is glazed. 235 has some generalaffinitiesto the large bowls, sharing,in particular, the bandingof AgoraXII, nos. 64, 65, and 80;35the thickenedrim and single handle, however, are unusual. SMALLBOWL

236 shares the general characteristicsof the heterogeneousgroup of small bowls with broadrims that began to be manufacturedearly in the 5th century,36for like them it is fairly shallow and has a thick rim. Its profile, although not precisely paralleled among small bowls, is like that of a saltcellar of ca. 450.37The similarity to 227, a stemmedbowl, has been noted above.237 finds no close parallels at the Agora;it is classedwith broad-rimmed laand on the inside bowls because of the profile of the rim, angular sloping down slightly towardsthe interior.Sixteen rim fragmentssharing the general characteristicsof the small bowl of the early and heavy type were foundin the deposit,and at least one other came from the general area of the Royal Stoa.38The lipped ring foot of 238 and 239, reservedon its outer face, placesthem in the secondquarterof the century.240, though lighterand smaller, also finds comparandain the secondquarter. No close parallel has been found for 241, but there is no reasonto suppose it is not more or less contemporarywith the others. SALTCELLAR

Only four fragmentsof the early type of saltcellarwith convexwall and recessedunderside occur in the deposit (e.g. 242). The type was not made after ca. 480, and 242 does not appearto be one of the latest. It may be worth noting that the flat-bottomedvarietypopular in the late 5th century39is not represented.Most numerousin the depositwas the saltcellar with echinus wall. Examples of the earlier variant with recessedunderside(dating mainly to 480-450), were about half as numerousas the later, flat-bottomedvariety.Of the variant with recessedbottom, 243, which is taller and more solid, may be the earliest. The lower wall of 244 is very straight,that of 245 concave;this and the very thin resting surfaceof 245 suggest a later date for these examples, although these details may not be very reliable indicators. The simple, flat-bottomedvariety is equally difficult to date with authority. Some examples are totally glazed (e.g. 247); others are reservedunderneath(e.g. 246). 248 33 Cf. Agora XII,

is the only example of the Late Archaicto Early Classical variant of the concavewall saltcellar, with flat, reservedfoot. The reservedgroove at the base of the wall is a late sign, placing 248 around475-460. One other concavesaltcellar,306, is much later, datingprobably in the early 4th century (see below, p. 28). Footed saltcellarsare rarities. 249, with its raised disk foot, is a heavy, ungainly example of the type; the raised foot is earlier than the ring base, placing our example beforeca. 425. The reservedline at the junction of base and body is paralleledon a piece (admittedlyof ratherdifferentprofile) of ca. 500-480.40 250 is unusual in its thick rim and slightly angled wall; a parallel from a grave in the Kerameikos suggestsa Late Archaicdate.41Aside from small fragmentsof ring feet, the only otherfooted saltcellar(305) appearsto date to the 4th century. PLATE

Plates appear not to have been a commonshape in this period, and it is thereforenot surprisingthat there is considerablevariationwithin the categoriesdefinedby Sparkesand Talcott and that exact correspondenceswith other examples are rare. The broad-rimmed relativelylarge numberof fragmentsis surprisingand offers evidencethat this simple form of plate continuedto be producedin the Early Classicalperiod.43252 is relatedto 251 by the patternof glazing on the interior,but the rim runs directlyinto the floor with no offset. 254 and 255 are unglazed, as is common in plates with thickenededges of this shape, but the attention given to the profile suggests that they were dinnerware.They differ slightly in detail;the wall of 254 runs into the foot, which has a broad,convexinner surface,while 255 has a normal ring foot. Parallels in the Agora collectionsuggest a mid-5th-centurydate for both. 253, totally glazed, is more elaboratein profile. The concaveinner face of the foot is a featurethat becomesincreasinglycommonin a varietyof shapes as the centuryprogresses.44 LEKANIS

Fragmentsof nine ribbon-handledlekanideswere found in the deposit,along with several lid fragments.Most of the lekanideswere totally glazed (e.g. 256), but a reservedband with zigzag decorationbelow the rim also occurs (e.g. 257). The reservedhandle panel, the form of the handle, and the shape of 256 suggest a date around 425. The only lid with a completeprofile is 259, which is glazed except for details of the knob. Half of the rim fragments, however, have rays around the knob: e.g. 258, which may go with 257. The one Lykinic lekanis (260) is unusual in its unglazed foot and steep wall. The shape begins ca. 450, and the unglazed underside of our fragment marks it as an early one.45261 is probablya lid for a similar lekanis, although it is fairly large for that shape; fragmentsof 40

three examples were found,of which 261 is the most complete.262, quite an elaboratelittle lid, could perhaps also go with a lekanis. OTHER OPEN SHAPES

The Type D or box-pyxis is presentin two fragments(e.g. 263); the shape was popular mainly in the late 5th and 4th centuries46and in our depositrepresentsa stray from private context. Perhaps also from the boudoir is the ring or stand (264), intended to support a small jar or pot; it is a rare shape, known formerlyonly from 4th-centurycontexts in the Agora.47We may mentionhere also 11 fragmentsof lids with flanges on the lower surface, none of them completeenough to warrantcataloguing. FINE WARES: CLOSED SHAPES Closedshapes are much less well representedin blackglaze than open ones, for a numberof reasons. Most were larger and, once broken, were reduced to fragments that cannot be identified. The count is therefore perhaps less than it ought to be, but the differential is nonethelessa real one. The functionsof closedcontainerswere often fulfilledby either plain or figured versions;note, for example, the large number of red-figuredhydria fragments (Table 1, p. 131 below), bandedoinochoai (Table 3, p. 137 below), and cooking-warehydriai (Table 3). A moderntea set has one pot and many cups; similarly, a single oinochoe can servemany drinkers,and a single lekythoscan pour oil onto many salads.Amongclosed shapes, it is the askos, olpe, and squat lekythos, small vessels probablyfor individual use, that are the most numerous. ASKOS The deep askos, easily recognizedfrom its distinctivebase, spout, and central tube, is representedby at least 24 examples. Two (268 and 269), and probablya third (P 31449), are markedas public propertywith the LE ligature on their tops and are likely to have been used as containersfor a condiment (oil, or conceivablyhoney) rather than for perfumed oil.48The shape was producedfrom ca. 480 to 420; on our fragmentsthe neck and handles, which provideclues to closer dating, are lacking. Less well representedis the shallow askos (six fragments),which doubtlessservedthe same purpose as the others. 270 has a slightly unusual profile,with greatestdiameterjust abovethe foot, paralleledin a piece from a mid5th-centurydeposit. OLPE

The small olpe is representedby 11 rim fragments(e.g. 271) and 47 base fragments. The footed (272) variety is five times as numerous as the footless (273), the reverseof the proportionnoted elsewherein the Agora.49 46

LEKYTHOS

The large black Deianeira lekythos with globular body, a standardtable containerfor oil, can be recognizedin eight mouth fragments(e.g. 274); some of the feet (284-287) could also come from lekythoi of this sort. Many more fragmentsof small, patterned,squat lekythoi (e.g. 275) could be identifiedfrom the distinctivemouth and the patterneddecoration on the belly (maeander,runningdog, dots, oblique lines). Our examplesmost closelyresemble the earlier ones in the series and probablydate around425. Perhaps they took over the function of the deep askos, which went out of productionat about this time. The horizontally ribbed276 is probablyalso from a squat lekythos. OINOCHOE

The oinochoe was an extremely popular shape, and it should be better representedin our deposit than it is. Obviously, large numbers of pouring vessels were needed to fill the many drinking cups, but these need not, of course, have been black glazed; banded oinochoai, which are numerous in the deposit, would have done as well. Of these, the roundmouth variety that was most used before the middle of the century50appears to have been present in large numbers (e.g. 277; also perhaps 280, a base); only a few fragments of bandedtrefoil-mouthoinochoai(278), whose productionbegins in the secondhalf of the 5th century, and of mushroomjugs (279), also commonestlater in the century,were included. Among black-glazed pieces, ten fragments of trefoil mouths were found; some may come from Shape 3 oinochoai,but 281 probablycomes from a shoulder (Shape 2) oinochoe,and six fragmentsof projectingbases with flat undersidesare probablyalso of this shape (e.g. 282). 288 is a very substantialvessel;it is without exact parallelbut couldperhapsbe a large and elaborateversionof the shoulderoinochoe,with which it shares a fairly straightlower wall. The Shape 3 oinochoe or chous can be recognizedwith certainty in 11 handles of characteristicconfiguration.283, with an ivy garlandin a panel on the belly, is also probably a chous. A substantial number of closed vessels of fairly uniform shape are representedby a series of bases. These are mostly between 10 and 12 cm. in diameterand exhibit variations in profile and glazing. Twenty-five of them were unglazed inside; variation in profile is illustratedby 284 and 285. Eighteen have a thin wash on the inside;cf. 286 and 287, both of which have the concave molding under the foot that was observedalso in skyphoi in the deposit (cf. 153, p. 16 above). Seven other feet with glazed interiors(none catalogued)were lacking this molding. These bases could come from either oinochoai (Shape 3) or from lekythoi. Interior glazing appears to be most common on the oinochoe, although it does occur occasionallyon the lekythos. The numbers indicate that we are dealing with a very popular shape and one of standardsize, and this too suggeststhe oinochoe. PSYKTER

The wine-cooleris a fairly rare and short-livedshape, and it is thereforenot surprising that it is representedby only five examples (e.g. 289-291). At least three are fromthe lidded 50

type with handles (e.g. 290 and 291) that is most commonin Agora deposits.51These pieces date beforethe middle of the century,when the shape is thought to have died out. OTHER CLOSED SHAPES

292 comes from a large round-mouthjug; the closest parallel at the Agora has been dated to the early 5th century on the basis of proportions,glaze, and details of shape.52It was found, however, in a deposit of the last quarter of the 5th century. Although a large, sturdyjug of this type might be expectedto have a long life span, this secondoccurrenceof the shape in a later deposit, and in a deposit where Archaic material is very rare, may suggest that it was made somewhat later in the century. The lidless pelike (293) is one of five fragments,some of which may go with figuredpieces. The extremely fine glaze of the hydria (294) and its elaboraterim suggest that it may have had figured decoration,especially since the shape is rare in black before the end of the 5th century.53The feeder (295) comes as a surprise;there was only one in the deposit, doubtlessa stray from a domestic context. Other adjunctsof childhood,or perhaps votives, are a few miniature chytrai (e.g. 296) andjugs (e.g. 297). MISCELLANEOUS The small and batteredfragmentof a disk (298) of unknownfunctionis an Archaicleftover. 299 is one of two fragmentsprobablyfrom stemmedincense burners.There were very few importsamong the fine ware. 300 is unusual among Agora gray ware of this period for its high mica content.The double handles are a commonfeature on gray-warejugs, but what little is preserved more resembles an amphora. 301 is a very fragmentary Corinthian kothon;a few other Corinthianfragmentswere also present. WORKSHOPS The close similarityof a numberof pieces suggeststhat they were made in the same shop, a situationwhich has also been observedwith the figuredwares (see pp. 12-13 above).Three Rheneia cups (164-166) bear identical stamps of maeander,lotus, and palmette (PI. 56). The lotus is probablythe same as that on the shoulderof a Pheidiasmug (193: only the base of the stamp is preserved,at far right in the photograph,PI. 56). The lotus-budstampto the left on 193 appears to be identical with the horizontally placed lotus buds on another Pheidias(?) mug (194), which in turn shares a palmette stamp with 195.54 We may also note that the foot and lower wall of 167 are identicalto that on 164, althoughthe stampsare 51AgoraXII, 52;289 is probablyalsoof thisshape,forthe doublemoldedfootis apparentlymostcomp. found on lidded psykters.

different.The shapes and decorationof four large stemlesscups (e.g. 177-179) are so similar that they, too, should be attributedto a single shop. It would be dangerousto rely too heavily on shape and details of glazing alone as criteria for workshopattribution,but it is worth at least mentioning the similarities between 227, 236, and 21 in details of rim and stem (p. 21 above);the eight skyphoi with a distinctivemoldedfoot (e.g. 153, p. 16 above); the ten examples of an unusual glazing pattern illustrated on the undersidesof 137, 141, and 265 (p. 16 above);55and the ten shallow convex-concavebowls (cf. 230-232) of a type thought to emanatefrom a single shop.56 GRAFFITI Aside from E ligatures, which will be discussedelsewhere,there were a numberof graffiti in the deposit. Several of these were single letters (e.g. 191) of unknown purpose, though possibly marks of ownership. More promising are whole names, probablyof owners. The letterson the undersideof 267 do not spell any known Greekname, unless the writer left out a tau after the sigma, in which case it might be restoredas something like Aristagorasor Aristandros.266 belongedto Sosias; the use of the four-bar sigma and the omega suggest but do not require a date after mid-century.57The name Sosias appears again, written in a closely similar hand to that of the writer of 266, on a pot from a context of ca. 420-400;58 there couldbe some e connection,but Sosias was a commonname, and quite a numberof men of that name appear to have been living at the time coveredby the material from deposit H 4:5.59 It would be temptingto connectthis Sosias with the Sosias castigatedon the underside of a lekane from the well under the Stoa of Zeus,60material that probablycame from the same source, but the pieces are at least twenty-fiveyears apart in date. The well under the Stoa of Zeus containedsix graffiti characterizingindividualsas either KaAosor Karatrvywv,6 and perhaps the message on the bottom of 148 is to be related to them: iLKE'X (Sikele [or the Sicilian girl] seems beautiful to the adulterer).

A, line 31 and 929, line 54), one Sosias was a hellenotamias(PA 13176; Antiphon 5.69-70), another is mentioned by Aristophanesin a context that suggests that he had a reputation for heavy drinking (Wasps 78-79), and the scholiaston these lines adds the name of another (PA 13178). 60 AgoraXXI, C 18, p. 13, pl. 5: ?oasKara7n vywv hos 4nOLv ho ypa'oasy (Sosias is a lecher;so says the writer).

The cupkantharos (302), though fragmentary,is the most closely datable, since the shape is well known fromnumerousexamplesfromAthensand Olynthos.Parallelsat the lattersite place our piece beforethe majordestructionthere in 348 B.C.,and furthercomparandanarrowthe date to ca. 375. Details like the triangular handles and the sharp inward slope of the rim place the one-handler(303) in the secondquarter of the century.The saltcellars(305 and 306) and the small bowl (304) cannot be dated with such assurance but may be placed comfortablyin the secondquarterof the centuryalso. HOUSEHOLD AND COOKING WARES This material has been dividedinto unglazed vessels used in food preparation,ratherthan at the table, and cookingwares, which were fired to withstand heat. Transport amphoras are discussedseparately. In this deposit, as in almost all others, plain ware far outweighs table ware (34 tins of plain and cooking ware as opposed to 16 tins of fine ware). This proportion,however,does not appear in the Catalogue.The unglazed pottery,like the rest in the pit, did not mend up into whole shapes; unlike the glazed wares, however, it was heavily weeded at the time of excavationand reducedto seventins, from which examples in this Cataloguehave been chosen.The cataloguedpieces give an indicationof the range and variationin shape; statisticsrefer, except where noted otherwise,to a tallying of fragments from the seven remaining tins and can suggest only the most general picture of relative frequency,not the actual numberof pieces in the deposit. HOUSEHOLD WARES64

The lekane fulfilled a wide variety of functions,both in the kitchen and in the dining room,and not surprisinglywas very commonin H 4:5 (115 fragmentsof baseswere counted before the material was reduced). 307 and 308 representthe two main variations in rim shape, and 309 exemplifiesthe typicalfoot. Size and the moldeddecorationon the outeredge of the rim identify 310 and 311 as louteria, the latter definitely, the former possibly of Corinthianmanufacture.The mortarwith collar rim (312) is also Corinthian.The other 62

mortar(313) imitatesthe shape characteristicof Corinthianmortarsof the SandyClass65but is smaller, and the fabric is different,a soft reddishyellow clay, possibly Corinthian.314 is the single example of what appears to be a shallow basin or bowl; the smoke-blackened interiorsuggeststhat it held coals, althoughthe extremelysoft fabricseems inappropriateto such use. There were several lids of various types, of which 315 is the largest and best preserved.The followingrepresentshapespresentin one or two examples:316, probablya table amphora,althoughthe shape of the rim is unusual;a smalljar or bottle (317), probablyimported;fragmentsof an epinitron(318). COOKINGWARES

There is a substantial collectionof escharai (50 rim fragments),which may be sorted into three variantson the basis of the rim. Most commonlythe outer wall was straight,the rim flat (e.g. 319). On some pieces, however, the rim is concaveunderneath(for two distinct versions compare320 and 321, Fig. 25). The similarity of this profile to that of 4thcentury escharai66suggests that it may be a later development,but the large number of fragmentsin the deposit (11 in the sorted material) assures us that these were made in the 5th century. That all examples were used for cookingrather than simply serving is shown by their fire-blackenedsurfaces,although they could also have been used as heaters.67Representedin only a few fragmentsare bean parchers(e.g. 322) and griddles(e.g. 323). There were more chytraithan lopades,reflectingthe fact that the lopas had only recentlybeen introducedat the time of this deposit.68The lopadion327, with a diameterof only 13 cm., is a remarkablyearly instance of a miniature, pushing their manufactureback before ca. 425. Among the chytrai, the lidded (e.g. 324 and 325) was commoner,surprisingly, than the lidless (e.g. 326). Hydriai made of cooking fabric were numerous. The lipped, overhangingrim exemplified by 328 was far betterrepresentedthan the more standard,horizontalprojectingrim of 329, which suggests that it was already well establishedby the third quarter of the century. The cooking-warejug with trefoil mouth was quite rare (330). Other closed shapes may have been presentbut not identifiedin the fragments;for example, 32 fragmentsof ring bases (e.g. 331) could come from hydriai, kadoi, or jugs, all commonin cookingware. The unusual lidded pot (332), an amphoraor a storagevessel, finds a close parallel in a deposit of the last quarter of the century. To close it, somethinglike 333, a remarkablywell made lid, might have been used. LAMPS Researchof recentyears suggeststhat the systemproposedby Howland for the classification of Attic lamps is inadequatein a number of ways.69Aside from its bewilderingcomplexity 65 AgoraXII,

and seeming illogicality, it does not provide an adequate descriptiveframework for the material. Many lamps share characteristicsof two of Howland's types and thus do not fit into any of his pigeonholes.A more flexible system based primarily on profile, like those proposedby Scheiblerand by Blonde,70accommodatesthe exceptionsmorecomfortablyand providesa more realistic descriptionof the lamps. Nonetheless, for lamps that do fit into Howland's typology, his terminologyis convenientin furnishing a simple means of reference. Therefore, while adopting the more flexible system, we have occasionallyretained referenceto Howland's types for the sake of clarity. About 200 fragmentsof lamps were recovered,over three quartersof which are of the common5th-centuryround-shoulderedtype.71The very few earlierlamps date in the years just before480. 334 appearsfromits profileto be Archaic,but it differsfromsimilarlamps in having a handle, and its glaze pattern is best paralleled on Classical lamps,72to which it shouldbe closein date;possiblyit datesin the early 5th century.335 is a typicalLate Archaic Deckrandlampe;336 is similarto it in profilebut totallyglazedand has the raisedbase which is rarebeforeca. 480; a parallel in the Stoa Gutter Well, however,allows an Archaicdate.73 The Early Classicalvariantof the round-shoulderedlamp, with a lip aroundthe filling hole (Howland Type 20; ScheiblerRSL 3), is representedby only two examples (e.g. 337). Lamps with a continuous curve from foot to rim (Howland Types 21 and 22; Scheibler RSL 1), on the other hand, are very common.The only well-preservedexample lacking a foot (338; Howland Type 21 A) is glazed all over its sides, suggestingthat it is not among the earliest of its type; it may date in the first quarter of the 5th century. 339 conformsto Howland Type 21 B but is unusual in its over-all glazing and the round cross-sectionof its handle. A close parallel in the Kerameikossuggestsa date between 460 and 430. There are 83 fragmentsof round-shoulderedlamps with raisedbases in the deposit, 14 of which have glazed undersides;this was thus an unusual treatment but not so rare as Howland suggests.74Sixteen round-shoulderedfragmentsshare a distinctivepattern of reservedbands darkenedwith miltos on the rim (e.g. 342; Howland Type 22 B). The following provide excellent examples of the ways in which this material resists even ratherflexible systemsof classification.340 (one of eight fragments)is identicalin rim shape, glazing pattern, and its unusual gray, micaceous fabric to examples of Howland Type 21 D, but unlike Howland's pieces it has a raised base. 341 has the roundedprofile, raisedbase, and stubbynozzle of earlier 5th-centurylamps (Howland Type 21 B) but has a reserved nozzle panel in the manner of later 5th-century lamps (Howland Type 23 B, Scheibler KSL). Similarly, the deeply incurved rims of 343 and 344 anticipate developments of the last quarterof the century,but their raised bases are holdoversfrom earlier in the century.Presumablywhat we are seeing here is the resultof chronologicaloverlapof the 70 71

types, so that new developmentsmay influencedetails in oldertypes that are being produced concurrently. A numberof pieces have angular or semi-angularshouldersand ring feet, featuresthat have been datedto the last quarterof the centuryor shortlybefore(345-348).75 346 and the larger, three-nozzled345 are virtually identical in shape, with ring foot, slightly rounded shoulder angle, and reserved handle panel. 347 and 348 (a remarkablylarge lamp) are similar but with a centraltube. Their presencein the pit providesadditionalsupportfor the initiation of lamps of this sort slightly before 425.76No lamps with groovedor ridged rims were found,77suggestingthat these were introducedslightly later and shouldbe confined,as Howland suggested,to the years after ca. 425.78 349 is a Senkshulterlampeakin to Howland Type 24 B but totally glazed;it resemblesa lamp at the Kerameikosthat dates perhaps about the middleof the 5th century. TRANSPORT AMPHORAS The majorityof transportamphorasin H 4:5 are of unknown type and too fragmentaryto warrant publication.Of identified79types, Chian are best represented(eight toes: e.g. 350). The fragment351 belongs to the penultimatephase of the type with bulging neck that was discontinuedin the course of the second half of the 5th century.This phase was succeeded by a jar with a more prominentbulge just below the rim. Capacitiesof completeexamples suggest that this latter form conformsto Attic standards,and Virginia Grace suggestedthat it was introducedin responseto the Athenian Coinage Decree, for which she quoted a date of 449 B.c.80 The decree is not firmly dated, however, and some scholars would place it much later.81Thus, even if the new standards it mandated are reflected in the changed capacities of the Chian amphoras, the decree cannot help us to date this change. In any event, in the next phase of development, the bulging neck was abandoned and a new, 75Howland Type 23 (Agora IV, pp. 56-62) and Scheibler's Knickshulterlampen(Kerameikos XI, pp. 18-22). 76As Blonde argues, GLThorikos,p. 96. 77 Howland Types 24 A, 24 A', 24 B, Agora IV, pp. 63-65. 78 In keeping with her normal practiceof allowing the broadestpossible date for each type, Blonde dates these to the secondhalf of the 5th century (GLThorikos,pp. 88-89). All the contextsshe cites, however,contained material ranging throughout the second half of the century and do not provide evidence for a more precisedate. 79 Virginia Grace looked at the amphorasin 1972, shortly after they were excavatedand beforeany coarse wares had been discarded.We owe these identificationsto her. 80 For discussionof the developmentof Chian jars see J.

straight-neckeddesign, also conformingto Attic standards,was placed on the market.82It would be satisfying to be able to contributeto the discussionof the chronologyof this succession,but deposit H 4:5 does not seem to be conclusivein that respect.The last phase of the bulging neckwas not recognizedamongthe fragmentsfromthe depositbut was foundin the contemporarydebris from the Punic AmphoraHouse at Corinth.83Its absencefrom pit H 4:5, then, is presumablyfortuitous.The less bulging 351 probablydates aroundthe middle of the century. There were three fragments of Mendean(?) jars84(e.g. 352), two of Corinthian B85jars (e.g. 353), and one each of Lesbian (354)86and Punic (355).87The types represented,and the proportionsin which they occur, are not unlike those in a contemporary well, N 7:3.88 There Chian was also the most common (11 fragments), followed

by Lesbian (4) and Mendean (2), with one Corinthianand one Punic fragment.This suggests that these productsand proportionsreflectthe normal importpracticesof the mid-5th century. The origin of 356, cataloguedhere because of the graffito,is unknown, but the golden mica in the clay suggests the eastern coast of the Aegean. The inscriptionmay have been written when the jar was whole, either in Athens or in its place of origin, but since it fits so neatly onto the sherdas preserved,it is perhapsmorelikely that it was written afterthe vase was broken.The numberis most likely a tally: three halves, one fourth, and four units. TERRACOTTA FIGURINES AND MOLDS89 Six molds and 26 fragmentsof figurines were found in the deposit.

A large collection, also of the mid-5th century, turned up in the Punic Amphora Building and a related pit at Corinth (C. K. Williams, II and J. E. Fisher, "Corinth,1975: Forum Southwest,"Hesperia 45, 1976 [pp. 99-162], pp. 104-107; Williams [footnote83 above],pp. 15-20; idem, "Corinth1978: Forum Southwest,"Hesperia 48, 1979 [pp. 105-144], pp. 107-124).

and T 4042; 359 and T 4049), as well as repeatedtypes from differentmolds, suggeststhat much of this material comes from a near-by shop or shops that functionedfrom about the mid-6th to the mid-5th century. Many of the pieces appear from clay and type to be Attic, but there are also some imports.Severalshare a distinctivefabric,soft and fine, quite micaceous, and mottled from orange to ocher (358-360 and 365, as well as some of the uncatalogued pieces);others (366-369) have undergoneburning or reduction.Nicholls postulates that this conditionresults from repeatedrefiringof these pieces as they were used as stackers in the kiln. The terracottascover a wider chronologicalrange than the pottery, and a surprising percentageof the piecesmay be placedin the Archaicperiod.365 is the fragmentarymoldfor a large female protome,an early memberof a group of Attic protomeswhich was produced from the middle to the third quarter of the 6th century.90Another fragmentaryprotome mold probablyfrom the same archetypewas found in the deposit.Anotherof Late Archaic date was found near by (T 4038), suggestingthat protomeswere a specialtyof the shop in Late Archaictimes. A much smaller protome(366), extremelyworn but complete,is also of Late Archaicdate;its fabricsuggeststhat it may be an import. Two handmadepieces, a seated woman (367) and a male torso (probablyof a rider: 368) are well-formedAttic productsof the Late Archaic period. The rider is a fairly standard piece, but the woman is unusual in her nudity and her posture:seated on a pillow or stool, with her weight on her buttocks,and probablygraspingher bent legs with her hands. Nicholls has identifiedher as a woman on a birth throne, perhaps in the momentjust after birth. Although no exact parallels may be cited, two figurines at the Agora (T 3264 and T 2358 + 2378) approachthis posture, and it finds parallels, as well, in much earlier Middle Eastern figurines.91 Also Archaic is the hollow-moldedstandingwoman, 358, one of two very fragmentary pieces probablyfrom the same mold and markedas East Greek importsby their technique of manufacture.The sealed bases suggest that these are plastic vases rathethr than figurines proper,late derivativesof the East Greek AphroditeGroup and to be placed within the 6th century.Alternatively,they may be Late ArchaicEast Greekkore statuettes,like the miniature 357;92these also had sealed bases, pierced with a tiny pin-hole vent for firing.

There is also later material, attestingthe survivalof the workshopat least to the mid5th century. Two molds (361 and 362) for figurines of seated women, possibly enthroned goddesses,date in the Early Classical period. The two are very similar, the smaller derivative from the larger. 360 is only a tiny fragment, either a seated or a standing woman. Certainlya standingwoman is 359, one of two pieces producedin the same mold. It belongs to a series of Attic pieces which beganjust before the middle of the 5th century.The head 363 is about contemporaryand also Attic, to judge by the fabric.The mold for a banqueting figure (male or hetaira: 364) can also be placed in the Classical period on the basis of the treatmentof the couch,which is depictedmorecompletelythan in Archaicexamples.93That a figurine of this type was found near by suggests that banqueters,too, may have been a standardproductof the shop. The relativelyheavy representationof Archaicvs. Classicalterracottasis quite at variance with the proportionsof Archaic and Classical pottery.The reason for this is presumably its different source, an industrial context ratherthan a public dining room, and the figurinesand molds are to be regardedas part of the miscellaneousrubbishwhich found its way into the pit by chance.The shop clearlyhad a long life, at least fromthe mid-6th to the mid-5th century, and apparentlycontinuedto producefigurines of the same subjectsfor a long time; the standing woman is representedin both Archaic and Classical versions (358 and 359). Protomes were a standard product in the Archaic period, seated women and perhaps also banquetersin the Classical period. The importssuggest that coroplastsmight also have marketedproducts brought from other centers, although they could, of course, have been acquiredto serveas modelsor come from a different,domestic,context. OTHER OBJECTS The clay ring (370) may have been used in pottery manufactureand hence offers more evidenceof workshop activity. Most of the other objectsare probablyfrom domesticcontexts. Two spindle whorls (e.g. 371) were recovered,but much more numerousare loomweights, representedby 18 examples.All were pyramidal,and within this classificationtwo types were recognized.Type 1, piercedwith two holes, is wider than it is deep (372-375). Variation may be noted in the beveled bottom of 374 and in the apparently Corinthian fabricof 375. Type 2 is symmetricaland piercedwith only one hole (376 and 377). Most are unglazed, but some are partially or wholly glazed (371 and 377). Two have graffiti (Won the top [372], H on the bottom [MC 1338]), and one (374) is stampedwith a lentoid seal, probablyfrom a metal signet ring. The only identifiablemetal objectfrom the pit was a substantialbronze spike (378); it could have been used in the wooden frame for the roofingof a building. 93 For Archaic banqueterssee Nicholls, pp. 103-104, under N, 0, P, pl. 25 and pp. 118-119, under Q; A. Furtwanglerand K. Reichhold,GriechischeVasenmalerei,Munich 1909, II, p. 18, fig. 8.

V THE SOCIAL CONTEXT SOURCES OF THE MATERIAL

The material in the pit comes from three differentsources:public, private, and industrial. Among shapes for privateuse are the pyxides (e.g. 80 and 263), feeder(295), epinitron (318), loutrophoros(114), lebes gamikos(130), and perhapsthe phiale (201), thuribles(e.g. 299), miniatures (e.g. 296 and 297), ring (264), disk (298), and lekanides (e.g. 256-262). e representedin only a few fragments,and it is possiblethat the Except for the last, these are lekanideswere used for food' and belong with the public material.The phiale (which may serve as drinking ing cup as well as libation vessel) and thuribles could also have seen public use, since libations and sacrifices seem to have been a part of public meals elsewhere in Athens, for example in the Tholos.2 Definite evidenceof industrialactivity may be seen in the moldsfor terracottafigurinesand masks (361, 362, 364, 365), in multiple figurinesfrom the same mold (358 and 359), and perhaps in the clay ring 370. The loomweights and spindle whorls (e.g. 371-377) are not sets; they could come from either domesticor industrial context. That potters and perhaps also coroplastswere active in this area in the 5th century and earlier is clear from the remains of workshopsbehind the Stoa of Zeus and in the area between the Royal Stoa and the pit (see above,pp. 1-2). The majority of pottery, howeve, was used in public context, as attested by the E ligature that is wholly or partially preservedon 21 pieces from the deposit. This is in all likelihood an abbreviationof 8ynodo-lov and was scratchedonto the pots after firing as an indicationthat they were the propertyof the state.3The E. ligature appearson 14 Rheneia cups (160, 169-173, and uncatalogued examples), one Corinthian skyphos (147), three askoi (268, 269, and an uncataloguedpiece), and one or more one-handlers (206, 215?, 216?). We may thereforesuggest that virtually all vases of these shapes in the depositwere public property.In the closely related well under the Stoa of Zeus (H 6:5), the ligatureiE marked 14 pieces, mostly Vicups, but also a Type C kylix, a one-handler,and two pieces of kitchenware.4Marked Vicups and a saltcellarwere found in the area of the Tholos.5Fragments of these shapes make up 29 percent6of the identifiedtable ware (exclusiveof figured 1 The

AgoraXII, p. 164. 2 Demosthenes 19.190; Pausanias 1.5.1; for sacrificesby the Prytaneis see S. Dow, Prytaneis (Hesperia, Supplement I), Athens 1937, pp. 8-11.

Only black and bandedtable wares were taken into consideration,since these are the only types markedin H 4:5. Bandedoinochoaiwere excludedbecausethey had been weeded at the time of excavation.

ware, none of which is marked)in H 4:5. If we go furtherand classify as public other wellrpresented shapes that had the same use (other drinking cups such as Attic skyphoi and large stemless cups, other oil containers such as lekythoi and olpai), we raise that proportion to 73 percent. Were we to include other vases connected with drinking (oinochoai, amphoras, psykters, bolsals, and mugs) and eating (bowls, stemmed dishes, plates, and perhaps lekanides) and count in also the figured pottery used for these purposes, the percentage would be much higher, and it seems fair to say that the majority of the pottery in the pit was used in the context of public dining. Although none of the kitchen and cooking pots are marked as public, they were probably used in preparation of food for public diners. The transport amphoras brought the wine that they drank, and the lamps no doubt lighted their meals. THE IDENTITY OF THE DINING ROOM

Of the 50 ZEligatures which have been found in the excavations, 37 came to light in the

northwestcornerof the Agora (P1.64): 21 from H 4:5, 14 in the near-bywell underthe Stoa of Zeus (H 6:5), one in the Royal Stoa, and one in the Stoa of Zeus.7 Eight come from the

area of the Tholos, but there is no other comparableconcentrationelsewherein the Agora.8 From the well underthe Stoa of Zeus: Talcott 1936, pp. 353-354 and AgoraXXI, Fa 2-15, p. 51, pi. 29; among context pottery within the Royal Stoa: P 31440; from context potterywithin the Stoa of Zeus: Agora XXI, Fa 24, p. 52, pi. 29. Note also, not includedin this count, a kylix foot (P 29915) inscribed EM, from a 5th-centurylevel near pit H 4:5 (PI. 63, SectionA, layer 1). 8 From the Tholos: AgoraXXI, Fa 16-22, Fa 25, p. 52, pl. 29. (Fa 22 and Fa 23 apparentlywere reversed in the text, Agora XXI, p. 51.) Isolated examples were found on the east side of the Agora and outside the Agora to the southwest. From the east side of the Agora: Roberts 1986, no. 41, pp. 23-26, figs. 13 and 14, pi. 7 = AgoraXII, no. 578, p. 276, figs. 6 and 22, pi. 25; P 24736 from R 12:3. From southwestof the Agora: AgoraXXI, Fa 1, p. 51, pi. 29. Elsewhere in Athens, the ligature has been notedon the Akropolis(Graef and Langlotz, nos. 1517 and 1523, pp. 127-128) and may possibly be recognizablein two graffitifrom the Pnyx (Hesperia, Supplement VII, nos. 13 and 15, p. 32, fig. 15 on p. 33). The ligature has also been found on pottery from Thorikos (T. Hackens, "Le theatre,"Thorikos,III, Thorikos 1965, Brussels 1967, p. 87, figs. 122-124), as well as on 12 Attic vases (threeblack figured,nine red figured)in museumcollections,some of them from Italy. For the latter, see A. W. Johnston, Trademarkson Greek Vases, Warminster 1979, type 7B, pp. 93, 195. In his review of Johnston'swork D. von Bothmeraddstwo moreto Johnston's list of ten ligatures (AJA 81, 1985, p. 353; note that Bothmerlists ARV2 567, 6 apparentlyin error for ARV2 1108, 23 = CVA, Gallatin [USA 1], pl. 23 [43]:1 and 2, a column-kraterby the Nausicaa Painter). See also R. Hackl, Merkantile Inschriftenauf attischen Vasen, Munich 1909, nos. 469-471. Aside from the three black-figuredpieces, all date within the 5th century, some closely contemporarywith our material (for example, a column-kraterby the Leningrad Painter [ARV2 567, 9], who painted two kratersin our deposit [37 and 77]). Johnston takes these ligatures to be trademarksratherthan indicationsof public property,as it would be hard to explain how several large public pots found their way so far from Athens. It is interesting that all this materialis figured,while all markedvases fromthe Agora and the Akropolisare plain. A series of pots from Aigina are markedwith the Doric form of the ligature (A. Furtwangler,Aegina:das Heiligtum der Aphaia, Munich 1906, nos. 367-371, 373, pp. 465-466, pi. 121:59-61, 63, pl. 129:14). Publicly markedpots have also been found at Olympia (A. Mallwitz and W. Schiering, Die Werkstattdes Pheidias in Olympia [Olympische Forschungen V], Berlin 1964, p. 153, nos. 30, 32, and 33, fig. 55) and Polychrono in the Chalcidice (I.

THE SOCIALCONTEXT

This concentrationsuggeststhat there was an importantsyssition,or public dining room,at the northwestcornerof the Agora. The most likely patronsof such a dining room would be officialswhose work regularly broughtthem to this cornerof the Agora. Two groupsof Athenianmagistratesare known to have been active here:the cavalryofficersand at least some of the archons.Some years ago, Christian Habicht argued on the basis of epigraphicaland literary evidencethat the Hipparcheion,the headquartersof the Athenian cavalry,was locatedin this area.9He pointed to a 2nd-centuryinscriptionhonoringhipparchsthat was to be set up at the Herms,10at the northwest corner of the Agora, and to three other honorific inscriptionswhich had been found in the northernpart of the square."1One of these, the Bryaxis relief, had been found in situ duringthe buildingof the Athens-Piraeus railway, at a pointjust northof the Stoa of Zeus. Literary sources also connect the cavalry with this area. Xenophon (Hipparchikos 3.2) prescribes for the cavalry a ceremonial processionaround the shrines of the Agora, beginning and ending at the Herms, followed by a gallop up the PanathenaicWay to the Eleusinion. Hegesander (apud Athenaios4.167e-f) tells us that a 3rd-centuryhipparchset up a viewing stand for his mistress at the Herms, so that she could have a good view of the cavalrydisplay, and a fragmentof the comicpoet Mnesimachos(Athenaios9.402f) says that the phylarchsand cavalrymenmay be found at the Herms. Further evidenceof this connection continuesto come to light. Two more honorificinscriptions(3rd century)with stipulation that they be erectedat the Herms, or in the Stoa of the Herms, have been discovered northwest of the Agora,12and the location of the Herms at the northwest corner of the square has been confirmedby the many fragmentsof Herms and Herm bases unearthed there in recent excavations.13Another 4th-centurymonument,commemoratingthe victory of the tribe Leontis in the Anthippasia,was found in 1970, built into a later wall just west of the Royal Stoa.14In addition,two cachesof lead tablets of the 4th and 3rd centuriesrecording assessmentof horses have been found, one in the Kerameikosby the Dipylon Gate,15 anotheron the north side of the Agora, some 20 meters east of the Royal Stoa, in a well at the bifurcationof the PanathenaicWay and the West Road.16One group of officials,then, that we can place in this area, at least from the 4th centuryonward, is that associatedwith The case is fully stated in C.

the Atheniancavalry:the two hipparchsand the ten phylarchswho oversawthe activitiesof the hippeis (Ath. Pol. 61). There is no evidence for their presence there in the 5th century,

however,nor is there any evidencethat they ate togetherat public expense. Nevertheless,it is interestingto note that the size and importanceof the cavalrywas significantlyincreased in the 5th century.17 Anothergroup of magistrates,the archons,did eat together, and at least some of them conductedbusiness in the northwestcornerof the Agora. In the 5th centuryand later, the Archon Basileus had his office in the Royal Stoa, and the choice of that building as the repositoryof the laws also suggests a connectionwith the archons, who had many legal responsibilities.19All nine archons swore their official oath of office here, standing on the lithos, an irregularblock of stone in front of the Stoa Basileios.20Later, a 3rd-centuryinscriptionwhich apparentlyhonors an archonand his associateswas to be set up in front of the Stoa of Zeus;21on this basis Meritt suggestedthat that structuremay have servedas the officeof the EponymousArchon. These topographicalindications,taken togetherwith a few scatteredreferencesin the literaryrecord,make it likely that archonsare to be countedamongthe dinerswho used our pottery.Hesychios tells us that there were three syssitiain Athens:Prytaneia,Thesmophoreion, and Prytaneion,22a senselesslist which has been emendedby modernscholarsto read Tholos, Thesmotheteion, and Prytaneion.23There may, of course, have been others as well.24Public officialsand dining facilities occurtogetherin at least one other place, South Stoa I, which Homer Thompson once suggestedmay have servedat one time as the Thesmotheteion.25Its connectionwith magistratessssuggested by an inscriptionconcerningthe metronomoifound within it; that severalroomsservedas dining roomsis clear fromthe offcenter placementof the doors and the raised borderfor couches in one room, although no officiallymarkeddining ware was discoveredin the area. It is thus entirely possible, even likely, that there were more than three syssitiain 5th-centuryAthens. 17The increasein size and importanceof the cavalryhas been variouslydatedto the 470's (W. Helbig, Les 1902, pp. 231-241), ca. 450 (B. Keil, Anonymus Argentinensis,Strasbourg 1902, RBugh pp. 139-145), and 445-438 (A. Martin, Les cavaliers atheniens, Paris 1886, pp. 121-134). G. R. reviews the evidence, placing reorganizationand then enlargementof the cavalry in 458-457 and 445-431, respectively(The Horsemenof Athens,Princeton 1988, pp. 39-78). 18 Pausanias 1.3.1.

But let us follow up Hesychios for a moment.We have good evidencefor the locationof hea mentions: the Tholos has been discovered,near the Council two of the three syssitia of toStreetlay somewherealongthe House on the west side of the Agora,26and the Prytaneion the Tripods, near the easternend of the Akropolis.27Of the syssitia Hesychioslists, only the Thesmotheteionremains unaccountedfor. We are told that the six junior archons ate together in that building (Schol. Plato, Phaedrus235d), and the AristotelianAth. Pol. (3.5) makes it clear that in Solon's day, at least, the other three archonshad quartersthere also. The fact that the Ath. Pol. (62.2) treatsthe per diem of the nine archonsall together,adding that with it they providefood also for their messengerand flute player, suggeststhat, in the 4th century at least, they shared a commonmess. And on at least some occasionsall nine archonsdined togetherin a stoa (Hypereidesapud Pollux 4.122). If archonsand public crockerycan both be placed at the northwestcornerof the Agora in the middleof the 5th century,one would like to put both in the Thesmotheteion.28Unfortunately, no structureof appropriateform and date has yet been discoveredin that area. The remains west of the Royal Stoa and under the Stoa of Zeus are too fragmentaryto be interpretedwith assurance,but they seem not to have been substantialenough structuresto have serve such a purpose. Furthermore,if the Athenian assembly could meet in various different locations, perhaps the archons could eat in various places as well. They might sometimes have dined in the Royal Stoa, which was in existence at the time of our pit.29 26

Thompson, Tholos. Miller (Prytaneion) discusses evidence for the location of the Prytaneion (pp. 39-4.9). More recently another topographicalhint has been unearthed in the form of an inscriptionthat appears to pin down the locationof the Aglaurion at the eastern end of the Akropolis(G. S. Dontas, "The True Aglaurion,"Hesperia 52, 1983, pp. 48-63). Since it was near the Aglaurion (Pausanias 1.18.2-4), the Prytaneionshould be located near the eastern end of the citadel (Dontas, pp. 60-61). See also Robertson,Axones, p. 160. 28 Noel Robertsonhas proposedthat the Stoa of Zeus is to be identifiedwith the Thesmotheteion("The Headquartersof the Nine Archons in the Athenian Agora,"pe paper presentedat the 85th General Meeting of the ArchaeologicalInstituteof America,summary,AJA 88, 1984, p. 257; Robertson,Axones,pp. 168-170; we were also able, through the kindnessof Homer Thompson, to read Robertson'smore completeaccountof his argumentationin manuscriptform). This suggestionhas also been pursuedby Keith DeVries, who was kind enough to show us his work in manuscript,and by John Camp (Camp, p. 107). Robertson'sidentificationof the Stoa of Zeus as the Thesmotheteion,attractiveas it is, requiresthat the buildingbear two names. Certainly some public buildings did have two names: the Stoa Poikile was also called the Stoa of Peisianax (Schol. Demosthenes20.112); the Tholos was also called the Skias (Harpokration,s.v. 6oXos);and the Bouleuterion was also the Metroon (Schol. Aischines 3.187). But assigning two names to the same structurehas led to misunderstandingin the past, most notably in the suggestionthat the Stoa of Zeus and the Royal Stoa were one and the same building (see E. Vanderpool, "Roadsat the Northwest Corner of the Athenian Agora," Hesperia 28, 1959 [pp. 289-297], pp. 289-291, note 1 for bibliographyrelating to this controversy).We are grateful to T. Leslie Shear, Jr. for useful discussionsof this and related topographicalpoints, although our conclusionson these mattersdiffer. Robertsondates the mud-brickbuilding to the Archaic period (Axones,pp. 168, 170) and puts it on his plan of the Agora in the time of Peisistratos(fig. 2, p. 169), but there is no evidencethat the structureexistedso early, and it certainlystood through much of the 5th century (see footnote15 above, p. 5). 29 Shear has argued that the Stoa was built in the Archaic period (Shear, Agora 1970, pp. 249-250; idem [footnote 15 above, p. 5], pp. 7-8); detailed support for an Archaic date will appear in his monograph.Although originallysupportingan Archaicdate (AgoraXIV, p. 84), Thompsonhas morerecentlysuggestedthat the building was constructedin the 470's (H. A. Thompson, "Buildingfor a More DemocraticSociety. The 27

That it servedas an officialdining roomhas been suggested30on the basis of threelines from Aristophanes'Ekklesiazousai(684-686): The heraldwill makea proclamation thatthosefromSectionBetashallfollowto the Stoa Basileiosto dine, that SectionTheta shall go to the Stoa besidethe Basileios,and that SectionKappashallgo to the stoawherebarleymealis sold.31 But a few lines earlier (line 676), Praxagora says she is going to turn the lawcourts and stoas into dining rooms,and the joke is that she uses the kleroterionto send people to syssitia ratherthan to lawcourts.32Thereforethe passagetells us only that the stoasmentionedwere lawcourtsor stoas or both and does not constituteevidencefor official dining in the building.33Other evidence,however, makes the Royal Stoa an attractivecandidatefor a dining room. As T. Leslie Shear, Jr. will demonstratein his final publicationof the building, the Royal Stoa, badly damagedin the Persian invasion,was reconstructedin the 460's. This is preciselythe point at which pit H 4:5 testifiesto a dramaticincreasein dining activityin the the materialin the well under the Stoa area, althoughearlier public dinnersare attestedbyhe of Zeus. The congruencein date makes a strongcase for the use of the materialfrom H 4:5 in the Royal Stoa. In any event, the archons were active in the northwest and it corner of the nora, remains likely that they were among the users of the dinnerwarefrom H 4:5. As will be shown (pp. 52-53 below), the dating of the deposit is also congruentwith its use by the archons,whose duties may have been increasedafterthe reformsof Ephialtes.Preciselywhere they ate we cannot know, but we know where the garbageended up, and that cannot have been too far afield. A Thesmotheteion of appropriate date and form may still await discoveryin the as yet unexploredarea to the north. Athenian Agora after Ephialtes,"XII InternationalCongressfor Classical Archaeology,Athens 1988, IV, pp. 198-204). 30Thompson in 1972 connectedthe E ligatures from well H 6:5 with a hypotheticalsyssition for the ArchonBasileus and pointedto the mud-brickbuildingunderthe Stoa of Zeus as a possibleplace for domestic activityconnectedwith it (AgoraXIV, p. 89); see also Shear, Agora 1972, p. 384. 31 Translation, Agora III, no. 7, p. 22. 32 lip.

The remarkablylarge amount of pottery makes it possible that more than just the archons and their associateswere being fed. Tables 1-3 (pp. 131-138 below) give the statistics; it should be remembered,however, that the deposit certainlyrepresentsonly a part of the crockeryoriginally in use. Many, many more fragmentsof kraters and drinking cups were recognizedin the strata around and within the Royal Stoa.34Either the pantry was very well equipped, or the breakagerate in the years precedingthe final catastrophewas very high. Our conservativeestimate of the minimum number of drinking cups present in the deposit is ca. 840. Spreadover 50 years, this would give a very reasonablebreakageand replacement rate of slightly under 17 per year, appropriateto a fairly small number of diners. But given the facts that this is a minimumestimate,that we have only a sampleof the total inventory of the syssition, that the estimate does not include material from the well under the Stoa of Zeus, and that the bulk of the pottery seems to date within somewhat narrower limits, the replacement rate must have been substantially higher. We should therefore keep open the possibility that we have here debris from more than one dining group:archons,certainly,but perhaps also hipparchsand phylarchsas well. THE E: MARKING

Fifty examples of the ZEligature35have come to light in the Agora, on kylikes (19 times), Rheneia cups (14), one-handlers (4), askoi (3), saltcellars (2), once each on a skyphos, cup-skyphos,lekane, and plain amphora, and on the bases of four unidentifiedopen vessels, all dating within the 5th century. Study of the individualgraffitisuggests that they were written by more than one individualbut also that more than one piece was probably inscribedby some of the writers. On most of the pieces in H 4:5, for example, two strokes of the A have been extended and the E written itmiddle stroke (147, by simply adding the This form is found on three in H 20 6:537(al206 15, 268, 269).36 169-171, 173, pieces though the graffiti there are usually smaller), but other ligatures from that deposit do not closely resemble those from H 4:5. On three, for example, the A is formed first, then the three strokesof the E added;38on three others the upper strokeof the E is a continuationof 34 Patternedkraterrims from all strata within and in front of the Royal Stoa were comparedby Shear with kraterrims from H 4:5; only one could be identifiedwith a vessel from the pit (72e). 35 Twenty-one in H 4:5; 26 published by Lang (Agora XXI, Fa 1-26, pp. 51-52, pi. 29); Roberts 1986, no. 41 (footnote8 above, p. 36); P 24736; P 31440. The statisticsare confinedto the ligature;AE as separate letters have been omitted as possibly being marks of ownership by individuals with names beginning with these letters (so, at least, AgoraXXI, p. 51), and in any event, only the ligated form of the abbreviationoccurs in H 4:5 and H 6:5. It is worth noting, however, that the distributionof the non-ligatedAE graffiti suggests that at least some stood for 8?qOu(plov.Half were found in undatedcontextsspreadthroughoutthe Agora (see P1.64). Of the rest, one comesfrom near the Tholos, in a late Roman disturbance(P 12179), one was foundin the symbolonpit behind the Stoa of Attalos (R 11:1, P 20570), one came from the potter'sdebrisjust behind the Stoa of Zeus (H 7:1, AgoraXII, no. 764, p. 290, fig. 22, pl. 30), and a fourth was found in a furnacepit to the west, under the northerntemenos wall of the Hephaisteion (E 6:3, Corbett 1949, no. 138, pp. 341-342, fig. 1 on p. 319), along with two fragments labeled with the presumablypublic ligature of A and H (AA) (AgoraXXI, Fb 1 and 2, p. 52, pl. 29). 36 Cf.

the arm of the A, but the lower strokeof the E is added.39In the materialas a whole, there is a slight preferencefor markingon the undersideratherthan on the flooror top of the piece. This materialposes a numberof questions.Why, when, and by whom was the pottery marked?Why does the graffitoappear on only a tiny fractionof the public pottery?Why is it restrictedto black-glazed and plain pieces? And why is it mainly restrictedto the 5th century? In her publicationof the contentsof the well under the Stoa of Zeus, Talcott suggested that the potterywas markedto documentstate ownershipand to deter diners from walking away with the dinnerware.40Although this may be in part the case, it does not explain the marking of lekanai and plain amphoras,41pots that are too large to be stolen easily. The injunction Ae#E4peon one of the lekanai from the well under the Stoa of Zeus42is clearly a prohibition. But the inscription could refer to a single unrecoverablecircumstance;this particularlekane was to be kept in place for an unknown reason and period of time. If the pots were markedto preventloss, one would predicta larger numberof markedpots and a preferencefor markingthe floor, where the graffitois more visible to the user and hence a moreeffectivedeterrent.It may be that the labelingwas doneon only sporadically,in response to occasionalpilferage, or only on purchasesmade during the administrationof a particularly zealous magistrate. Equally, the marks may be remnants of an ancient stocktaking, like that recordedon stone for the Tholos some 250 years later.43If so, it is hard to explain why less valuable objectsare marked,while more valuable ones are not. We may suggest a third possibility:that the letterswere written at the time of purchase,in the potter'sshop, on one or two piecesof a selectionof his stockthat had been chosenand boughtby a functionary of the demos. If the pots were placed togetherin a box or basket preparatoryto delivery,it would be sufficientto mark one or two of them as identificationfor the whole lot. Marking would be on top or bottom,dependingon how the vases were stacked.44 It may be that the restrictionof the mark to undecoratedpottery45is a matterof chance and that the relativelyrare markingsare preservedon black-glazedexamples only because such a large amount of that material is represented.Possibly also marking of distinctive figuredvases was felt to be superfluous.But the distinctionbetween markedand unmarked wares may be a real one, possibly the result of differentways in which they were acquired by the syssition.

In orderto pursue this suggestionfurther,we must give some attentionto the nature of Athenian public meals. Dinner at the Prytaneionwas a special honor, bestowedon certain 39AgoraXXI, Fa 4, 7, and 8, pl. 29.

See The AthenianAgora,XIX, Inscriptions:Horoi, Poletai Records, and Leasesof Public Lands, Princeton 1991, p. 60, note 16. 45 The E ligature has been detectedon 12 figuredvases, none of them found in Athens;these instanceshave generallybeen interpretedas commercialinscriptionsof some kind.

visiting ambassadors,officials,and benefactorsand their descendants,46but other Athenian syssitia were of a differentsort. Far from being exclusive,they were open to any man who, by allotment, had been chosen to fill certain positions in the Athenian government.The meals, which appearto have been restrictedto magistrateswhose dutiesrequiredtheir daily presenceon the job,47were on the one hand utilitarian,providingfood as a convenienceand a lightening of the financialburden of serviceto the state. On the other hand, they were at Athens an explicitly democraticreworkingof a very ancient Greek customthat since early times had contributedto aristocraticclass solidarity;48they provideda basis for fellowship among men who, beginning as strangersand probably not social equals, had to work together effectivelyfor a year. Cooperand Morris have arguedon architecturalgroundsthat the prytaneisin the Tholos sat ratherthan reclinedat meals. They point out the aristocratic associationsof reclining at table, contrastedwith the seated postureof the countrydweller, stressing that seated dining would be more in keeping with the democraticnature of prytanic meals.49Thompson has emphasized the simple nature of the architectureof that building and many of its contemporaries,again in relation to the austerity of democracy, particularlyafter the reformsof Ephialtes,50with which, as will be shown, the dining room in question here may be connected.Given this democraticprogram,and the frugalityof the Athenian state in general,51we would expect the mess to be supplied with only the most ordinarypottery,and it is just that type of potterythat is identifiedas public. Reminders of the aristocraticroots of syssitia are not lacking, however, for finer, redfiguredvessels,52particularlykraters,are presentin considerablenumbers.Those numbers require some explanation. If the 87 identifiedred-figuredkraterswere spread evenly over 46 See Miller, Prytaneion,pp. 4-9; Agora III, pp. 173-174; M. J.

Vickers,"ArtfulCrafts:The Influenceof Metalworkon Athenian Painted Pottery,"JHS 105, 1985, pp. 108-128; "The Impoverishmentof the Past: The Case of Classical Greece,"Antiquity 64, 1990, pp. 445-463; "GoldenGreece:Relative Values, Minae, and Temple Inventories,"AJA 94, 1990, pp. 613-625; and D.

the entire 50-year range of the deposit, it would mean a purchaseof more than one a year. As it is, about two-thirdsare concentratedin the two decadesafter 460, and so the purchase rate was considerablyhigher (especiallywhen we considerthat our depositrepresentsonly a sample of the total inventoryof the pantry). A krater is a substantialvase that might be expected to last for many years, and one krater served many drinkers. But if, as we have suggested,this dinnerwarewas being used by the archons,the number of diners was relatively small:the nine archonsthemselves,the messengerand flute player mentionedin Ath. Pol. 62.2, and possiblytheir secretaryandparedroi.Even if otherboardswere involved,it is hard to imagine that it was necessaryfor the state to purchaseso many of these vessels for their use. That the proportionof kraters to drinking cups is unusually large can be seen from comparisonwith material from well N 7:3, a contemporarydepositof householdpottery.53In that well there was a minimumof 125 drinkingcups and four red-figuredkraters, in other words, one kraterto about 31 cups. In our deposit,87 kratersserveda minimumof about 840 drinking cups, less than 10 drinkingcups per krater. Even if we use our maximum estimatefor drinkingcups (1,388), we have only 16 cups per krater. Both the lack of a public label and the embarrasof mixing bowls can be explained by the following hypothesis:the red-figuredvases were donatedto the mess by privateindividuals and thus were acquiredthrough generosityinstead of out of need. They are unlabeled either becausethey were not markedfor deliveryin the potter'sshop or becausea gift of this sort was not consideredstate propertyin the same way officialpurchaseswere. No ancient source attests such private donationsin Athenian syssitia, but there are hints that it would not have been foreignto Greek practice.Citizens did sometimespresentdrinkingvessels as gifts to public dining rooms, as can be seen from a mid-6th-centurystele from Sigeion, a town in the Troad that was at that time under Atheniancontrol.54Two inscriptions,one in the Ionian dialect and the Milesian alphabet, the other in the Attic dialect and alphabet, both record that Phanodikos of Prokonnesosgave for use in the prytaneion of Sigeion a krater,a stand, and a strainer:a set, like those we have noticedamong the figuredpottery, though, unlike those, probablymade of metal. Richter suggeststhat the gift may have been madein commemorationof some specialcircumstance,such as holdingpublicoffice.Similar acts of generosityare attestedfor 4th-centuryTaranto and Rhegium at the turn of the era.55 Perhapsa pale reflectionof a similar practicein Athens is to be read in an entry in the EtymologicumMagnum (s.v. eXEvepL'po): EXEvfEepLosKaXCTraL6 ZEvs, 8La TO rTOVeXevOepov T7^Of70Ta'VOLKo8op.^7oaLT2]V 7rwAnaOov avrov.

Zeus is calledEleutheriosbecausethe free men built the stoa nearhim. So says Hypereides;but Didymos says it is not for this reason, but becausethe Athenianswere rid of the Persianbondageand dominion.They are accustomedalso to set up a mixing bowl for Zeus as a thank offering for their freedom,when they have repulsedthe enemy.56 Our kraters cannot be dedications in this sense, since they were clearly intended for secular

use; furthermore,none preserves any dedicatoryinscription. But it is intriguing that the passage cited above brings together kraters,of which we have many, and a location in the northwestcornerof the Agora, the site of the Stoa of Zeus Eleutherios.On this analogy,we might suggest that at least some of the kratersand particularlythe "drinkingsets"in H 4:5 were given by magistratesduring or at the terminationof their tenure of office.One would have expectedsuch privategifts to have continuedup until the time the potterywas broken, but we find instead that very few of the figuredpieces date after the middle of the century. Perhapsthe large numberof kratersaccumulatedthroughthe benefactionsof 10 or 20 years made furthergifts unwelcome. The practiceof labeling public pots is restricted,for the most part, to the 5th century.57 Although some of the graffiti appear on pots too fragmentaryto be dated with assurance, many can be placedin the years before450. Most of the markedRheneia cups in H 4:5 have fairly wide resting surfacesor a reservedhandle panel, indicatinga date in the first half of the century;173 has a narrowerrestingsurfacebut not so narrowas the latest (cf. 162). The bandedone-handler(206) and perhapsalso the fragment215 datebefore450. 147, however, might be later. All the graffitifrom the well underthe Stoa of Zeus date beforeabout 460 on the basis of context.Closely datableexamples fromthe Tholos have been datedbetween475 and 450.58 This range can be narrowedto 462-450 if we acceptRhodes'ssuggestionthat the prytany system was createdby Ephialtes,59for it follows from this that the syssitionof the aatefter Ephialtes' reforms. Two further pieces come prytaneis in the Tholos must also date from early 5th-century contexts.60 It thus emrges that the practice r i was rare in the first of the a low of incidence quarter century, reflecting relatively public dining (see p. 52 below). While not abandoned, the marking of pots became much less common after the middle of the

century,and it is noteworthythat none of the large collectionof similartypes of potteryfrom early Hellenistic wells around the Tholos are marked as public.61 It is tempting to connect

this fact too with a change in the procedureof public dining. Possiblyin the 4th centurythe meal, though subsidizedby the state in the form of a paymentto each magistrate,was not preparedin a public kitchen.62Such was the system at Naukratis, where on all but special feast days the diners brought their own food, although the state supplied them with wine (Athenaios4.149d-150a). A passagein Aristophanes'Wasps (1251) suggeststhat it was not uncommonin the late 5th century for guests to bring their own dinner to a party;the host suppliedonly the drink.63If a dinerbroughthis own meal to the syssitionit was presumably a fairly simple one and could be eaten out of the containersin which it was transported;64 at be for to there less need the state any rate, might providepottery. THE MENU

As debris from a public dining room, deposit H 4:5 preservesvaluable evidenceabout the natureof syssitiain the Athens of Ephialtesand Perikles.Had the organicmaterialbeen saved and analyzed we would know a great deal more, but even from the pottery we can draw some conclusionsabout the meals.The most strikingfeatureof the assemblageis the high proportionof drinkingvessels, evokingsymposionratherthan syssition.Well overhalf of the identified fragmentscome from drinking cups of one sort or another, and most of the LEmarkingsare on drinking cups. Other vessels associatedwith mixing, serving, and drinkingwine were also abundant.The red-figuredkraters are the most remarkable,but we note also stamnoi, table amphoras,oinochoai,pelikai, hydriai, and psykters. Domestic depositsin the Agora and elsewherecommonlyhave a high proportionof drinkingvessels,66 The Ath. Pol. stipulatesa daily food allowancefor the prytaneis(43.3, 62.2). The remainsof the Tholos, our only surely attestedplace of public dining in the 4th century,do not provideany specificevidenceof cooking, althoughthe structurethat has been identifiedas a kitchenwas locateddirectlyover the roastingpits that servedthe earlier building on the e site (Thompson, Tholos,p. 73). Note, however,that the late 4th- and early from the wells west of the Stoa (deposits F 11:2 and F 12:3) includedvessels for food material 3rd-century preparation,which suggests that on some occasions at least the kitchen still functioned:e.g., Agora XII, no. 1911, p. 370, fig. 16, pl. 92 (mortar);no. 2034, p. 378, pl. 98 (eschara);no. 1965, p. 373, fig. 18, pi. 95 (lopas);no. 1980, p. 374, pi. 95 (lid for cookingpot). 63 See Aristophanes,Wasps,D. M. MacDowell, ed., Oxford 1971, p. 294, commenton line 1251. See also W. A. Becker, Charicles(English edition, 1874), pp. 314-315, citing in particularXenophon, Memorabilia 3.14.1. 64 Talcott has pointedout that the evidenceof vase painting suggeststhat the 5th-centurydinnerguest often broughthis own drinkingcup to the symposium(Talcott 1936, p. 353). 65 For a summary of informationabout the ancient Greek diet see Forbes, pp. 96-99. See also M. Bats, Vaisselleet alimentationa Olbia de Provence (v. 350-v. 50 av. J.-C.), Paris 1988, pp. 31-59, for extensive discussion of ancient Greek cuisine and the vessels used in its preparationand consumption.Other useful bibliographyis cited in Sparkes 1962, p. 123, note 9. 66 AgoraXII, p. 10. For example, drinkingcups make up 31%of the fine table ware publishedby Boulter (N 7:3; Boulter 1953, nos. 11-14, 17-19, 23-40). A similarsituationexists later in Menon's Cistern (Stella G. Miller, "Menon'sCistern,"Hesperia 43, 1974 [pp. 194-245], nos. 1-19 and 34, pp. 229-231, 234, pls. 3032); cf. also the dump from a dining room on Samothrace(J. R. McCredie, "Samothrace:Supplementary Investigations,"Hesperia 48, 1979 [pp. 1-44], pp. 8-9) and pottery from dining areas in the Kabirion of Thebes (U. Heimberg,Das Kabirenheiligtumbei Theben,III, Die Keramikdes Kabirions,Berlin 1982, p. 1). T. P. Howe ("LinearB and Hesiod's Breadwinners,"TAPA 89, 1958 [pp. 44-65], pp. 49-50, note 24) commentson this proportionin earlierdeposits(BronzeAge throughGeometric),suggestingthat some of the cups were food bowls. This seems less likely for the 5th century,when it seems that cereals were more and more 62

commonly eaten as bread rather than porridge (Forbes, p. 98).

but the emphasis on wine in H 4:5 is remarkable.Although literary sources tell us little about the menu of syssitia in Athens, we can infer from the ancient diet in general and from sources on prytaneia in other cities that wine was essential to the meal.67Plutarch (Quaest. conviv. 7.9.657c) attests the use of wine in prytanicmeals, describingthe temperate 3:1 mixture of water to wine as particularlysuitable for magistratesthere; elsewhere (7.9.714a-c) he maintains that Greeks, like Persians, commonlydeliberateover wine. We may imagine, then, that the kratersin our deposit servedas foci of the meals, or of some of the meals, just as they did in aristocraticsymposia.68From the transport amphoras we learn that some of the wine was imported. The vintages of Lesbos, Corinth, and perhaps Mende were drunk, but the largest number of identifiableamphorasare Chian. The wine of Chios was one of the most desirablevintages, and such evidenceas we have suggests it was more expensive than the local product.69One can easily imagine a well-to-do citizen treating his fellow archons, now and again, to a prestigiousvintage. Chian wine seems to have enjoyed great popularity in Athens at this time, for Chian amphoras are twice as numerous as any other class of wine amphoras in a contemporarywell.70 On the other hand, the relatively small number of transport amphoras representedin H 4:5 suggests that a great deal of the wine consumed at the syssition was local, stored in wine skins, which have left no trace. A variety of foods could be eaten from the bowls, plates, and stemmeddishes that are commonin the deposit. More informative,however, are the cookingpots, in particularthe escharai,which were specificallydesignedfor cookingmeat on skewers.Even in the weeded sample of cooking pottery that remains there are 50 rim fragments,making this the commonest cooking shape in that sample. The large number of escharai suggests that meat preparedin this manner was often served, although escharai may also have been used as braziersto keep off the chill on a winter day. The numerousanimal bones noted at the time of excavation also support the conclusion that meat was not an unusual item. Our scant sourceson dning in the Prytaneion,where we would expect meals to be more lavish, suge menu e there; in Aristophanes' Knights (lines gest that meat was a late addition to the is in the Prytaneion(wheat bread, meat, and Kleon accused of rich foods 281-284), eating fish), which his predecessorPerikles had not.7 It seems likely, however,that this is simply 67

See Miller, Prytaneion, p. 12; for example, Mytiline (Athenaios 10.425a), Naukratis (ibid., 4.149e), Phigalia (ibid., 4.148f-149c), Thasos (Theophrastos, de odoribus51), Sigeion (Michel [footnote 54 above, p. 44]). 68 For this insight we are grateful to Francois Lisserague,with whom we were able to discuss his work on the iconographyof the kraterin red-figuredepictionsof symposia. 69 Prices inscribedon Chian transportamphoras of the 5th century suggest a price of two drachmasper chous (M. Lang, "Numerical Notation on Greek Vases," Hesperia 25, 1956 [pp. 1-24], pp. 13-14; Agora XXI, He 2, p. 76), as opposedto between two and ten obols per chous for ordinarywine. Note that Mendean wine seems to have cost about the same as Chian (ibid., He 1, p. 76). Plutarchquotes for the 5th centurythe staggering price of a mina for Chian wine (de tranquil, an. 470f), and Chian wine is characterizedas a luxurious vintage in Athenaios (1.29e; 4.167e; 12.527c, 548c). 70 N 7:3; Boulter 1953, nos. 150-152, pp. 104-105, pls. 39 and 40. 71 Athenaios (4.137e; citing Chionides:5th centuryB.C.)describesa meal of cheese, barley cake, olives, and leeks set out for the Dioskouroi in the Prytaneionof Athens, but this need not describethe normal menu. He creditsSolon with the introductionof barley cake (,ua-a;see footnote80 below, p. 48) for those dining there as

stockharpingon the austerityof an older, finer age, for if the dinersat the northwestcorner of the Agora ate souvlaki,it seems certainthat Periklesand other honoredguests of the state ate it in the Prytaneionas well. Since meat was a relativelyunusual part of the Greek diet, eaten mostly, it seems, in connectionwith sacrifice,72the animal bones and the escharaimay be evidence of sacrifice as a preliminaryto a substantial number of public meals. At the prytaneia of Epidamnos and Philippi sacrificessometimesprecededmeals,73presumably providingmeat for the diners.On at least one occasionthe Athenianstrategoisacrificedand dinedtogether(Demosthenes19.190). The prytaneisalso performedsacrifices,74but whether or not this was in conjunctionwith public dining we do not know;it would be, however,a reasonableassumption. It may also be worth mentioningthat most of the chytraiin the depositare of the lidded variety, more suitable for stewing than for simple boiling of water,75and perhaps foods prepared in this manner were also part of the menu. We may also note that the Punic amphora (355) is of a type that at Corinth was associatedwith dried fish, and our sources indicate that fish played a large part in the Greek diet.76Thus meat, fish, and wine were demonstrablya part of the menu, as they were at prytaneiaelsewherein the Greekworld.77 The shells in the depositbear witness to other seafood.Oil was clearly an importantpart of the meal, as attestedby the numerousaskoi, lekythoi,and olpai. Condiments,and in particular, salt, were servedin the saltcellars,which are also numerous.78 One importantitem has left no trace.We know fromcountlessreferencesthat breadand other cerealproductswere an essentialelementof any Greek meal,79and both bakedwheat are mentionedin the ancienttestimoniaas bread (apros) and kneadedbarley cake (Mia'a)80 guests and with wheat bread (apTro) on festival days. This suggests that the menu was establishedby law ratherthan merely by custom;see Robertson,Axones,p. 151. 72 Forbes, p. 98; Howe ([footnote66 above, p. 46] pp. 56-57) cites figures for the diet of the Greek villager in the 1950's:at least a pound of breada day and less than a pound of meat a week. 73 W. Dittenberger, Sylloge Inscriptionum GraecarumI-IV, 3rd ed. (Hiller von Gaertringen), Leipzig 1915-1924, no. 560, lines 40-42; SEG XII, 373, lines 49-51. 74 See footnote2 above, p. 35. The archonsalso conductedsacrificesand cult activities (Lysias 26.6; Robertson, Axones, p. 171), but a connection between these activities and their common meals can only be conjectured. 75AgoraXII, p. 225. 76 Sparkes 1962, p. 123. 77 See Miller, Prytaneion,pp. 11-13. The menu at Naukratis on festivaldays includedwine, variouskinds of bread and cakes, barley gruel, vegetables,pork, eggs, cheese, and dried figs; on ordinarydays there were beans, vegetables, fish or pork (brought by the diners from home), and wine (Athenaios 4.149d-150a). At Phigalia meals included wine, cheese, ,paCa(see footnote 80 below), meat (mutton), and condiments(ibid., 4.148f-149c). 78Salt is specificallymentionedin dining at Phigalia (Athenaios,loc. cit.). 79K. D. White (Greekand Roman Technology,Ithaca,N. Y. 1984, p. 258, note 99) quotes an estimatethat 70%of the ancientdiet consistedof cereals. See also footnote72 above. 80 To make p/aCa, barleywas first parchedand hulled, then the meal was kneadedinto a cake togetherwith honey, salt, and oil; the cake was not baked. By the 5th century,,ua&a was characterizedas food fit only for the poor or for barbarians(Forbes, pp. 97-98). What barbariansdo in the present is often seen by Greeks as equivalent to what Greeks did in the past (e.g. Thucydides 1.6), and uaCa was probablyeaten much more

part of the menu in the Prytaneion (Athenaios4.137e). Parchersrepresentedin two fragments (e.g. 322) could have been used for roastingbarley preparatoryto kneadingit into a cake. Nothing in H 4:5 can be specificallyassociatedwith bread making, although the allpurpose lekane would be appropriatefor mixing dough. Small fragmentsof large basins were found, however, with a complete example coming from the well under the Stoa of Zeus.81More likely, the syssitionpatronizedthe city'sbakers.82The louteriacouldhavebeen used for kneading dough, although they are more commonlyassociatedwith bathing.83In that capacitythey could have providedthe diners with the possibilityof rinsing their hands after a meal that was in large part eaten with the fingers.84 Feeding even a modestgroup of people can be a complicatedbusiness, as a description of the public meals of the Phigelians illustrates (Athenaios4.148f-149d); not only food and wine but also the cook and his equipment,as well as tables andebenches,had to be provided. For 4th-centuryAthens we know somethingof the state te financingof public meals. The Ath. Pol. (62.2) recordsthat the nine archons receivedfour obols each for food, to provide for themselves,the messenger,and the flute player;we may surmisethat others, like the secretary, ate with them as well. This was the budget for their syssition,a total of six drachmas per day, to furnish food and such equipment and service as the dining room and kitchen required. Their dining facility was better funded than that of the prytaneis, who got one obol each towards food:eight drachmasand two obols to pay for a meal for fifty prytaneis and the aeisitoi who dined with them. The austerityof democracynotwithstanding,clearly some magistratesfared betterthan others. The buying power of these sums is difficultto determine,owing to the paucity of our informationand the fluctuationof ancient food prices. From what we can gather, however, the archons' dning room seems to have been quite reasonablyfunded. The budget must have been dividedamong the three basic commoditiesof the ancient Greek diet: wine, sitos (grain), and opsonion(a catch-allterm that would includemeat, fish, oil, vegetables,and so forth). Although there were times of inflation, the normal price of wheat in the 4th century seems to have been five or six drachmasper medimnos.85Wine prices show greater variabilityand would have dependedon, among other things, the sourceand quality of the commonlybefore the 5th century.

The excess would have been spent on replacementof broken crockeryand other equipmentand on the wages of the cook and other retainerswhose help was needed in the kitchen. 86

VI THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT The archaeologicalrecordindicatespossibleconnectionsbetween deposit H 4:5 and a number of historical events. The chronologicalanalysis of the figured pottery (p. 10 above) shows that the earliest group of significantamounts of potterycomes from the two decades after the Persian sack of Athens in 480. This suggeststhat any potteryused earlierthan this for public dining would have been lost in the destruction.A variety of figured shapes is known from these two decades,but relativelyspeaking,the numberis small comparedwith those from the decade460-450, when there is a sudden,dramaticincreasein the numberof figuredvessels used for public dining;this is also the decadeto which all the discernibleredfigured"sets"date. The numberof figuredvases from after450 is also dramaticallyless than fromthis decade. The bulk of the black and plain fragmentswithin the deposit cannotbe dated with the same precision. It does appear, however, that much of the materialbelongs within the second quarterof the century.The only substantialselectionwhich can be placedbefore460 is the bandedplate, present in 14 fragmentaryexamples. Most of the Attic skyphoi, the Rheneia cups, large stemless cups, Vicups, and stemmeddishes appear to have been made before ca. 450. About half the one-handlersare banded and almost all the bandedoinochoai are roundmouthed,both forms that are favoredbeforemid-century.The amountof stamping (15 fragments),and also of crosshatching(on only 3 skyphoi), further confirmsthat a relativelysmall quantity of material comesfrom the third quarterof the 5th century;and it may be noted furtherthat the light-walled cup-skyphos,which was being made then, does not occur.On the other hand, the materialfrom aftermid-centuryis morethan a sprinkling; in additionto the stampedand crosshatchedfragments,it includesat least 6 Pheidias mugs, 11 fragmentsof bolsals, 10 fragmentsof shallow convex-concavebowls, 22 squat lekythoi, and a few lamps, as well as scatteredexamples of other shapes. It may also be notedthat the later, flat-bottomedform of the echinus-wall saltcellar is twice as common as the earlier variety with recessed bottom. Thus, although the undecoratedware seems to be spread somewhat more evenly than the figured pottery over the 50-year period, the greater part falls in-the first half of the 5th century.' One might argue that deposit H 6:5, a well with similar pottery which seems to be a dump from the same eating establishmentas the one attestedby H 4:5, couldrepresentsome disasterwhich brokemuch of the public dining potteryaround460 and that this potterywas then replaced by some of the pottery found in H 4:5. In this case the sudden increase in 460-450 could be explained as representingreplacementpottery.Speakingagainst this are ' A concentrationin the years 460-440 is also suggestedby the close similarityof many of the shapes with examples from well N 7:3, dated to the years 460-440 (Boulter 1953).

THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT

two factors.First is the much smaller size of deposit H 6:5, which seems to point to public dining on a smaller scale than that indicatedby H 4:5.2 Second,and perhaps most significant, is the very low percentageof figuredvases in the deposit, preciselythe type of vase in H 4:5 with which we can most clearly demonstratea sudden increase in the decade 460450. Even if we were to count the two depositsas one, one would still perceivea substantial increasein pottery,especiallyfigured,in this decade. The scenario which this suggests is that the dining ware started to be assembledand used sometimenot too long after the Persian destruction,but on a relativelymoderatescale. Then in 460-450, for some reason, there was a need for considerablymore pottery than before, especially figured, and we can probablysafely assume that it is for a considerably greater number of diners. The substantiallysmaller number of vases from after 450 suggests that most of these were replacementsfor dining ware that was brokenor lost, or that dedicationswere no longer customaryor needed. Thus, the question is, Why the dramatic increasebetween 460 and 450? Many of the democraticreformsinitiatedby Ephialtesand his followersin 462/461 and broughtto their fruition by Perikles were institutedduring the decade460-450.3 Although the exact form andorder of all these reformsare unknown,their generalnatureand purpose are clear:to diminishthe power of the wealthy and well-bornin the governmentand to make it possible for every citizen to participate.One of the most importantparts of the changes connectedwith the reformswas the introductionof pay for governmentalservice,so that a man who was not independentlywealthy could serve.Unfortunately,how much pay for differentpositionsand when the variousamountscameinto effectare unknown,but the general trendof increasedgovernmentalspendingto supportthe individualsparticipatingis certain, and in this respectit is not too difficultto see free meals, diningat publicexpense,as one of the or more frequentlyto those doing more work. inii benefits also now given to more individuals This couldexplain the suddenincreaseof potteryin the decade460-450. The heart of the reforms,we know, was to removemany of the powers of the Councilof the Areopagusand give them to the Boule, Ekklesia,and Dikasteria. Many of these powers seem to have been judicial, and their dispersalto the other three bodies undoubtedlycalled for more work on their parts. We do know that a good portion of the archons'duties was concernedwith overseeingvariousjudicial matters. If the pottery from H 4:5 is to be connectedwith the archons,as we believe, it is not too difficultto see increaseddining activityas Talcott 1936. Many of the 36 black-glazedvases (P 5116-5137, P 5141-5153, and P 7575) from this depositmendedmore nearly whole than those in H 4:5, and there are very few uninventoriedfragments(Lot A 261). The other 46 inventoriedvases are kitchenware, partiallyglazed ware, and transportamphoras,with the exception of a white-groundbobbin (P 5113), an ostrakon(P 5190), and two red-figuredvases (P 5114 and P 5115). Only a few small fragments are uninventoried.Thus, we most likely have the bulk of the materialconnectedwith the event that createdH 6:5 at this locale, and other depositswith materialconnected with this one are unlikely. 3 Ath.

a reflectionof increasedjudicial activity connectedwith their new duties, since they would now need to meet more frequentlyand eat, therefore,more often at public expense.4 The exact nature of these new duties is impossible to define with certainty, since our knowledge of the reforms is so limited. A number of possibilities can be suggested. For example, Martin Ostwald has recentlyarguedthat the ision of the Heliaia into a number of smaller dikasteriawas a result of the reforms.He furthersuggestedthat the thesmothetai "may have been entrusted ... both withtthe formationof panels from the old heliaia for purposes of conductingdokimasiaiand of judging complaints registeredat euthynai, and with the presidencyover each of these panels."5Thus, although the archonshad lost much of their power oer to makejudicial a decisionsas a result of the reforms,one could postulatethat due to the creation of new courts, there was much more work for them, and hence more dining at public expense. Or one might suggest that the reformsput an increasedemphasis on public and communalactivities,so that the archonshad to show themselvesmoreoften in public. No longerdid they dine in rich men's houses but ate togetherin a public buildingoff good Atheniantableware.Nobody mindedat first if they donateda few nice vases,but eventually this practicestopped.6The truth is, however, that we simply do not know enough to do more than cleverlyconjecturedifferentscenarios,and it seems wiser not to do so without any convictionthat one is more likely than another. The large amount of pottery in our deposit also suggeststhe possibilitythat more than just the nine archons,secretary,messenger,and flute player ate together,but who the others may have been it is also not possible to say with any certainty; as noted earlier (see pp. 37-38 above), the two hipparchsand ten phylarchswere active during the 4th century in the area from which the deposit came, and so they also may have dined, but there is no historical evidencefor this. Thus, although we cannot be certain, it seems very likely that deposit H 4:5 reflectsin some way part of the democraticreforms. The next questionthat arises is, What disastercausedthe breakageof so much pottery, if the bulk of pottery was brokenand the deposit originally formedat one time, ca. 425, as we are inclined to believe? The lack of any sign of burning on the pottery indicatesthat it was probablynot a fire, and so one must envision the vessels knockedover by some other type of disturbance.It is here that the historicalrecordindicatesa very likely possibility:the earthquakeof 426. Thucydides(3.87.4) tells us specificallythat it was felt in Athens, as well as Boiotia and Euboia, and relates its consequencesin detail (3.89):7 It was at thistimealsothatthegreatnumberof earthquakes occurredat Athens,in in Boeotia.... Euboea,andin Boeotia,andespeciallyat Orchomenus 4 Hansen (footnote47 above, p. 43) has argued convincinglythat pay and food for public servantsat this time was grantedonly for the days on which they actually worked. 5 M. Ostwald, From Popular Sovereigntyto the Sovereigntyof Law: Law, Society,and Politics in FifthcenturyAthens, Berkeley 1986, pp. 66-83, esp. pp. 75-77. 6 Barry Strausssuggestedthis possibilityto us. 7 Although the passages are separated in the text, they clearly refer to the same series of earthquakes: A. W. Gomme, A Historical Commentaryon ThucydidesII, Oxford 1956, p. 390; see also Diodorus Siculus 12.59.1-2; Strabo 1.3.20; and Seneca, QNat 6.24.6. The translationis C.

In the following summer the Peloponnesians and their allies, led by Agis son of Archidamus, king of the Lacedaemonians, advanced as far as the Isthmus with the intention of ininvadingAttica; but a great many earthquakes occurred, causing them to turn back again, and no invasion took place. At about the same time, while the earthquakes prevailed, the sea at Orobiae in Euboea receded from what was then the shore-line, and then coming on in a great wave overran a portion of the city. One part of the flood subsided, but another engulfed the shore, so that what was land before is now sea; and it destroyed of the people as many as could not run up to the high ground in time. In the neighbourhood also of the island of Atalante, which lies off the coast of Opuntian Locris, there was a similar inundation, which carried away a part of the Athenian fort there, and wrecked one of two ships which had been drawn up on the shore. At Peparethos likewise there was a recession of the waters, but no inundation; and there was an earthquake, which threw down a part of the wall as well as the prytaneum and a few other houses. And the cause of such a phenomenon, in my opinion, was this: at that point where the shock of the earthquake was greatest the sea was driven back, then, suddenly returning with increased violence, made the inundation; but without an earthquake, it seems to me, such a thing would not have happened. No other earthquake and its effects are described so fully by Thucydides.8 Earthquakes in Athens are rare because the city sits on solid bedrock. Only two definitely, possibly three or four at most, are known from antiquity.9 Likewise, relatively few earthquakes in Greece are known to have caused tidal waves in antiquity.'0 Thus, we are obviously dealing with a fairly severe earthquake, certainly one of the magnitude to knock pottery off shelves or walls

and break it.1" Archaeological work has revealed evidence of the magnitude of this earthquake both insidee and outside Athens. At Kalapodi in Phokis and Halai in Lokris, sites close to the 8 Other earthquakesmentionedby Thucydides: 1.101.2, 1.128.1, 2.27.2, 3.54.5, and 4.56.2; 2.8.3; 4.52.1; 5.45.4 and 5.50.4; 6.95.1; 8.6.5; and 8.41.2.

In additionto the earthquake of 426, Thucydides (5.45.4) mentions one in 420. A third (4.52.11) mentionedas taking place in 424 B.C. probablyoccurredin Athens. An earthquakementionedby Melanthios may be the same as any of the other three or a differentone (F. Jacoby, Die FragmentedergriechischenHistoriker,Berlin 1923-1955, 326 F 1); see also E. A.

damage describedby Thucydides, temples were destroyed.12Even more important is the recent discoverythat part of the northeastcornerof the Parthenon,including nearly onethird of the east side, was moved ca. 2/2 cm. to the north, resulting in the need for repairs. The seventh horizontal geison from the north on the east side, which was over the third column, was replaced, and additional clamps were used in places on this corner.13In the Kerameikos,meanwhile, the first phase of Building Z was destroyedby the same earthquake, and the ThemistokleanWall was damagedand later repaired.14Certainlyan earthquake able to move part of a stone building and destroy another structure was strong enough to have brokenthe potteryin H 4:5. Possible further evidenceof the destructionfrom this earthquakecan be found in the Agora. Two other large deposits with compositionssimilar to ours were formed ca. 425. E 13:1,15a well on the southeast side of the Kolonos Agoraios, contained a dumped fill dating to ca. 470-425. The homogeneousnatureof the fill and the joins of fragmentsat both high and low levels indicate that the deposit was made at one time. It contained a high proportionof figuredand black-glazedware in relation to coarse,a few terracottas(T 785, T 786), a lamp (L 1943), loomweights (MC 210, MC 211), spindle whorls (MC 212, MC 213, and a bronze pulley (B 213), all of which indicates that it was the result of a general cleanup. A wide range of black- and red-figuredshapes is present,includingblackfigured and red-figured lekythoi,16a black-figuredcup-skyphos,17red-figured kraters,18 red-figured skyphoi,19a red-figured kylix,20a red-figured askos,21a red-figured lekanis lid,22and red-figuredoinochoai.23The latest figured pieces, dating ca. 430-425, are the 12

red-figuredaskos, a red-figuredoinochoeof Beazley's Shape I by the Painter of the Edinburgh Oinochoe, and a red-figured squat lekythos.24A similar variety of black-glazed shapes is represented:psykter, chous, mug, skyphos, stemless cup, bolsal, cup-skyphos, small bowl, askos, pyxis, jug, one-handler,and saltcellar.25 The other deposit, R 13:4, also comes from a well, but it was locatedjust south of the Stoa of Attalos.26Talcott published the contentsin 1935, concludingthat it containedthe paraphernaliaof a tavernaon the bordersof the Agora, which was destroyedby some unknown disasteraround430.27 The dae was laterloweredto 425.28 Joins fromvariouslevels of the well once again showedthe homogeneousnature of the deposit,indicatingthat it was made at one time. Since the contents are fully published, there is no need to review them here, although we should note the considerablesize of the depositand the fact that many of the vases mendedup whole. Thus, there are three large deposits in completelydifferent parts of the Agora (plan, PI. 64), which are all due to a disasterof ca. 425. The facts that the depositswere not found in just one part of the Agora but in completelydifferentsections and that they were from private as well as public sources indicate that this disaster was neither local nor discriminative as to where and whom it struck.The earthquakeof 426 is the likely cause. In additionto the large deposits,there are a number of smaller ones of approximately the same date, some of which may also be connected:E 19:5, F 5:3, F 14:2, G 14:6, H 7:1, I 17:1, K 5:1, M 17:7, M 18:8, N 8:3, 0 7:10, and R 10:6.29F 14:2 is of interest here because it is a closeddepositthat was found underneatha layer of small stones,which, according to the excavator,may possibly have been a "lightwall that had fallen down."The two red-figuredfragments,P 42030and P 486,31date ca. 430.

H 7:1 is a deposit of pottery and working chips from behind the retainingwall back of the Stoa of Zeus. Excavationin the area has shown that the depositwas primarilythe debris from a potter'sworkshopthat was in operationuntil nearly the day before building began on the Stoa of Zeus.32Other pre-Stoa buildingswere found in this area, and it seems possible that they might have been damagedor destroyedby the earthquakeof 426. The remains of two rooms from a building found beneath the north end of the Stoa of Zeus, which we think may have been connectedwith dining deposit H 4:5, had mud-brickwalls on top of a stone socle. It, like the potter'sworkshop,went out of use shortlybeforeconstructionbegan on the Stoa of Zeus. Mud-brickbuildings are very susceptibleto earthquakedamage;33the fact that mud brick and other building material was found in H 4:5 suggests that not only the pottery but also this building, which was possibly associatedwith it, was destroyedby the earthquakeof 426. This destructionwould have presentedthe opportunityto refurbish the area with the constructionof the Stoa of Zeus. A date of ca. 425 for the beginningof the work is only a little later than the post-430 date proposedby the excavator,and fromthe archaeologicalevidencethey are equally acceptable.34 Thus, in additionto the damageto the Parthenon,Building Z, and the Themistoklean Wall, there is evidenceto suggest that the earthquakeof 426 caused some damage in the Agora. Unfortunately, other evidence of architecturaldamage has not yet been found in Athens.35This does not mean that it might not exist, only that it has not yet been identified. It was, after all, only in 1981 that the damageto the Parthenonwas found. In addition,few buildings standingat the time of the earthquakeare so well preservedas to show any possible damagewhich might have occurred.Roofs, the first place usually to show damage,are rarely preservedto any degree,nor should we expect every building to have been damaged.

CONCLUSION Researchesinto the contentsof Pit H 4:5 have led in a numberof directionsand have posed some unexpectedquestions. That this large and very fragmentarybody of material represents a fractionof the furnishingsof an ancient state pantry is clear from the 21 LEmarkings. It is highly likely that that pantry serveda dining room of the archons,possibly in the near-by Royal Stoa, or, as we would preferto believe,in an as yet undiscoveredThesmotheteion somewherein the area. Of officialsother than the archonswho may have dined in the area, the hipparchsand phylarchsare the most likely, since their headquartersin the Hipparcheionwere locatedin this part of the city. We would point to two structuresas possible storageplaces for the pottery:a series of roomsjust behind the Royal Stoa and the remains of two rooms under the north wing of the Stoa of Zeus; both structureswere in use in the middle of the 5th century. With the exception of a few Archaic pieces, mostly worn and battered,and five intrusions which probablyenteredthe deposit in the courseof rearrangementsin this area in the 4th century,the material dates between 475 and 425. The bulk of the more closely datable red-figuredpottery, however, is concentratedin the years after 460. This suggests an increasein the incidenceof public dining,possiblyas a resultof the reformsof Ephialtes,which very likely requiredmore constantattendanceto their duties by the archons.The terminal date of 425 derivedfrom the pottery suggests a connectionwith the serious earthquakeof 426, mentionedby Thucydidesand attestedby damagein Athensand elsewhere.We suggest that our potteryand the building in which it was storedwere destroyedat this time. The concentrationof drinkingvessels underlinesthe primacyof wine in ancientsyssitia, and we are remindedagain how essential this beveragewas, in official as well as purely social contexts;the Greeks, like the Persians, it seems, knew the value of drink in deliberations. We may well imaginethat the commonmeals servedas a good forumfor discussionof many pressing problemsand that wine went far towards creating a congenial atmosphere for those discussions.The remarkablylarge number of red-figuredmixing bowls suggests the possibilitythat at least some of these were modestgifts frommagistratesto their common mess; they lent the meals a certain elegance and at least sometimes held costly imported vintages.Both the organicremainsand the numerousescharaiin the pit attestthat meat was a fairly regular item on the menu. It would thus appear that the meals of the archonswere not particularlyaustere, even in the democraticdays following the reformsof Ephialtes. The materialspeaksout in its own right, some throughits fine draftmanshipand craftsmanship, some through its testimony to past time and custom. These tangible relics are inextricablyinterwovenwith the societyand cultureof their time and reflectthe same world as do those nobler works that have long inspired our admiration.These cups were being filled when Perikles was in his prime and the great playwrights entertainedAthens; an EponymousArchon could have drunk our Chian wine after a morningdevotedto arrangements for the productionof the Oresteia.Perhaps our diners were disturbedby workmen's

CATALOGUE The catalogueis dividedinto the following sections:black figure, red figure, white ground, black and banded ware, plain household ware, cookingware, lamps, transportamphoras, terracottafigurines and molds, and other objects. Within the various pottery sections the materialis first dividedinto open and closedshapes. Within these broaddivisions,the black wares, present in statisticallysignificantamounts, have determinedthe order used for fine wares. This orderwas chosen to emphasizethe amountsin which differentshapes are represented,while also respecting,as much as possible, the uses to which the shapes were put. Thus the commonestblack shape, the skyphos, is placed first, followed by stemless cups, kylikes, and so forth. The figuredpieces have been arrangedin the same way, partly for the sake of consistencybut also to draw attentionto the differencesin representationof various figured and black wares: e.g., many black but few figureddrinkingcups; few black kraters in contrastto figuredones. Entries within each shape sectionare arrangedin chronological order whenever possible. Because they are intrusive in the deposit, the 4th-centurypieces have been grouped separately. Lamps are presentedby type, in chronologicalorder. The orderof the amphorasreflectsthe relativerepresentationof the types in the deposit.Terracotta figurines and molds are presented by type, and within type, in chronologicalorder. Other objectsare arrangedby type. Previous publication is indicated at the beginning of the catalogue entry, followed by description.Attributionto artist (where possible), comparanda,and date appear at the end. Dates are given when sufficientlyprecise and well-datedcomparandaprovidethe necessary evidence,but all dates are approximate.Because more informationis now available, dates given here are occasionallyslightly at variancewith those suggestedfor the comparandain Agora XII. Sometimes there is reference to complete examples of a shape from which a fragmentderives;such parallels are indicatedby the phrase "Forshape, cf."and are not to be taken as indicationsof date.

On the exterior is a satyr, parts of another, and a maenad. Only the lower leg, foot, lower left arm, and left hand of the first satyr on the left remain. In front of him is a second satyr who runs right, pursuing a maenad. She flees right, looking back as he reaches out with both hands to grab her. Stylized ivy vines and dots of paint decoratethe picture field. The figures stand on a light brown line. Between this line and the black of the lower body are a broad black line, another light brown line, and a very broad black line. Reserve bands separate the lines. Two brown lines mark the top. Below the handle roots is an ivy leaf with stem. Traces of anotherfigure (maenad?) from B are visible on the far right. Sloppy incision is used sparinglyfor the details of the figures.

Incision is used for the details of the cocks'plumage and of the drapery, aegis, columns, and capitals. Added red decorates the right-hand cock's tail, added white, now mostly lost, his breast. There is a light coat of glaze on the interiorof the fragments. B: boxer. a) Part of a boxer and the black area above the picture field. A line in added red on the black slightly above the reservedbackgroundof the picturefield. Only part of a boxer'sbeardedface and head and his upper left arm and hand remain. His lips are parted, he stares upwards, and he holds his left hand up in front, all indicatingthat his defeat is imminent. Incision is used to delineate his features, most of the outer contours, and the boxing thongs around the hand. There is a light coat of glaze on the interior. The vase was made aroundthe time of the Achilles Painter's Panathenaics and those belonging to the RobinsonGroup and has some stylistic similarities with both. Compare the aegis of Athena with

that on a Panathenaic amphora by the Achilles Painter, Bologna, Museo Civico 11 (ABV 409, 1; CVA, Bologna2 [Italy 7], pl. 3 [346]:2)and the cock and column with those on a Panathenaicamphora from the Robinson Group (Baltimore, Museum of Art 1960.55.3;ABV 410,2; CVA, Robinson 1 [USA 4], pl. 31 [164]:1), Taranto, Museo Nazionale 4601 (AttiMGrecia 8, 1967, pls. 40 and 41) and Agora P 454 (Agora XXIII, no. 257, pl. 29). This boxer probably had a pose similar to the left-hand boxer on a Panathenaic amphora akin to the Kuban Group (ABV 412; Salonika, Museum 8.29; D. Robinson, Excavationsat Olynthus,V, Mosaics, Vases, and Lamps of OlynthusFound in 1928 and 1931, Baltimore 1933, no. 100 B, p. 89, fig. 6b, pl. 61) and was probablypart of a similar composition.

On the far right are traces of another figure. Although it is impossible to say exactly what is preserved,it seems to be the plume of a helmet, a drapedbent arm (akimbo?),and perhaps part of the drapery of another (seated?) figure (Athena?).On the left part of b are the chlamysof a male figure (Hermes?) and most of his left leg, which is shown in profileto right. On the right is the left foot of a figure (Paris?), who was most likely seated, and part of a rock(?) upon which his foot rests. In the center is part of a kerykeion, which stands upright. Below the scene and running aroundthe vase is a band of blackened cross squares alternating with groups of stopped maeanders. Relief lines: lower border of Hera's(?) mantle, most of the outlines of Aphrodite'sgarments,her arm, outline of the draped arm(?) of Athena(?), outer contours of the kerykeion, and leg and foot of Paris(?). Dilute glaze colors the edges of Aphrodite's hair and the tresses running down her back. There is considerablepreliminarydrawing,which indicatesthat slight adjustmentsto the poses and locationof many of the figures were made in the final drawing. The identityof Aphroditeand Eros is certain;the fragmentarystate of the others makes them less secure. The tree behind the last figure may be part of the landscape setting for Paris, symbolizing Mt. Ida. The goddesses, however, usually stand rather than sit.

RED-FIGURED VESSELS o) P.H. 5.4; p.W. 8.6. Fragmentfrom the rim. Reserveband at the top. The scene on A was probably either the setting out, return, or Apotheosis of the Dioskouroi, on B, youths and men. The vase is too fragmentary to determinethe exact composition,although the Dioskouroi (a and b), one of their horses (c), and probably one of the scepter-holdingfigures (d, i, j, k, or 1) belong to A. The last figure could be Tyndareus or Zeus. Fragment g probably belonged to B in addition to the scepter-holdingfigures not belonging to A. The remaining fragments (e, f, h, m, n, and o) give parts of the ornament. By an Earlier Mannerist, probablythe Agrigento Painter.

The movementof the figureson our vase is more restrainedthan on many of the other Polygnotan vases, suggestingthat it is late: for example, Eos holds her hands out towards Tithonos but does not reachout and actuallygrabhim as on manyother sceneswith this myth;nor do the Greek and Amazon really come to blows, but they seem to hold back in a posturingmode. This vase is one of a small group of vases with mountedAmazonsto right againstone Greek (Bothmer, Amazons, pp. 179-181). The Greek is labeled Theseus on one vase: London, B.M. E 450 (ARV2 1043, 1;EAA III, p. 372, fig. 453). Our Greekmay be Theseus; the trident-headshield device and dolphin on the helmet could allude to Theseus' father, Poseidon. Dolphins, however,are frequentlyused to decorate Thracian helmets in other scenes:for example, New York,M.M.A. 29.131.7 (ARV2 511,4, Painter of Bologna 228; Richter and Hall, no. 80, pp. 110111, pl. 82) and Paris, Petit Palais 868 (ARV2 592, 36, Altamura Painter; CVA, Petit Palais 1 [France 15], pl. 23 [663]:1). Worthy of note is the Amazon's outfit, which is a mixture of orientaland Greek garb (for another example, see Munich, StaatlicheAntikensammlungenund Glyptothek 2379 [ARV2 512, 10, Painter of Bologna 228; Bothmer, Amazons, pi. 83:1]) and the manner in which the trousersand blouse are painted red and black. For Amazons, see also P. Devambez and A. Kaufmann-Samarasin LIMC I, i, pp. 586-653. K. Schwab has noted the similaritybetween the Amazon and the rider on the metopefromthe Parthenon,West 1. The scene on the reversewith Eos and Tithonos is limited to the two protagonists.On other vases other figures are included.The same compositionfor Eos and Tithonos is used on 123, q.v. for bibliography. Our vase is the first known column-kraterfrom the Group of Polygnotos.More fragmentshave been added since it was first published. For Polygnotos, see most recently S. B.

The partially preserved seated woman who wears a veil suggeststhat we are dealing with a scene of preparationfor a wedding. Scenes connectedwith the wedding are not uncommon on pyxides (S. R. Roberts, The Attic Pyxis, Chicago 1978, pp. 178-187). Figures similar to the woman on the right who adjustsher girdle are found on a number of other vases; see E.

Head of a dolphin on the left and part of the body and right arm of a figure in chiton and mantle. The right arm is raisedin the air, as if the figureis fleeing in fright. Relief lines: outline of the arm. Golden dilute glaze: interior folds of the chiton and interior details of the dolphin. Dark dilute glaze: lower edge of the mantle. Preliminarydrawing. Reminiscent of late work by the Berlin Painter and artists from his school. Comparethe woman on St. Petersburg, Hermitage 5 1562 (ARV2 202, 76; D. C. Kurtz, The Berlin Painter, Oxford 1983, pls. 14:32 and 48:b). The figure probably flees to right, lookingaround.The dolphinmay indicatethat she is a Nereid, or that her pursuer is Poseidon, in which case she may be Amymone. For Poseidon pursuing women, see S. Kaempf-Dimitriadou,Die Liebe der G6tterin der attischenKunst des 5. Jahrhundertsv. Chr. (AntK, Beiheft 11), Bern 1979, pp. 26-30; for Poseidonand Amymone,see E. Simon in LIMC I, i, pp. 742-752. She may also be Thetis pursuedby Peleus, but this is less likely since Peleus is more often shown having already closed with Thetis and the scene is used mainly on vase surfaceswhich allow for a frieze of figures.

The compositionof the scene centers on the two principal protagonists, although other figures may be present,includingcompanions,a man, a king, or siblings. Fragment e with a mantled figure preserves part of one of these supplementary figures. The most commoncompositionfor the two protagonists is the one on 123, where Eos pursues Tithonos along the ground,reachingout to grab him with her hand.For the iconography,see Kaempf-Dimitriadou (under94 above),pp. 16-21 and 87-91; for additions to her list of vases, see Brommer (under 55 above), pp. 26-27; see also K.

rim with a foot. The method adoptedwas to count rims and feet, both those cataloguedand those storedin the tins, and to use the larger number as representative.In a few cases, such as with redfigured cups, calyx-kraters,and oinochoai, the number of cataloguedpieces was greater than the numberof rims or feet. Therefore,the numberof examplesrepresentedin the Cataloguewas used instead. It is likely that in some cases, as with volute-kraters,the pieces might not have been decorated in red figurebut in black glaze; fromthe fragmentspreserved,however,there is no way to determine this. Vases whose exact shape is unknownare not included.The numbersgiven, then, are estimates, probablylow, but they at least serve to indicatesome idea of the size of the deposit and the relative proportionsof differentshapes.

TABLE 2 RELATIVE REPRESENTATION OF FINE TABLE-WARE SHAPES (exclusiveof 4th-centurypieces) The table attemptsto give a rough idea of the relativerepresentationof various shapes. Becausethe householdpottery was weeded and severelyreducedat the time of excavation,only table wares are included. Banded oinochoai are not included because these were originally sorted with household wares. The order is somewhat differentfrom that of the Catalogue, designedto draw attentionto the functions of the shapes: for drinking, serving wine, eating, serving oil, and so forth. Sometimes,of course, we are not sure how a shape was used. Thus one-handlers,for example, could have been used as drinking cups, although here they are placed with vessels for eating. The five 4th-century pieces, which appear to be intrusivein the deposit, are not included. Emphasis has been put on trying to assess the numberof vessels originally present,ratherthan simply listing every identifiedfragment.Wall fragments,for example, are not included, since they do not aid in the establishment of such an estimate. For shapes that were representedin small numbers,it was possibleto estimatethe numberof pieces fairly accuratelyon the basis of similarities among the preservedfragments. For those shapes representedby hundreds,or even tens, of fragments, this was much more difficult.Usually feet were the most useful indicationof number.Whole feet, fragmentsaccountingfor more than half, and fragmentsaccountingfor less than half of a foot were countedseparately.The maximum estimateequals the numberof non-joiningfoot fragments. For the minimum,each fragmentpreservinga completefoot or more than half of a foot was counted as one pot; the number of fragmentspreservingmore than half of a foot was subtractedfrom the numberof fragmentspreservingless than half of a foot, to accountfor the possibilitythat there were unrecognizedjoins among these fragments. The number of remaining fragments comprisingless than half of a foot were taken as each representinghalf of a pot. More simply put, the following formula was applied:Estimate= W + O + (U-0)/2, where W = a whole foot, 0 = over half of a foot, and U = under half of a foot. Clearly this is an arbitraryformulaand probablygives too low a minimum figure, but it will serve to give at least a very general idea of the numberof vases represented. In cases where the number of handles preservedindicateda larger minimum than the number of feet, that larger figure was used. Numbers in bold type refer to examples in the catalogue. DRINKINGCUPS

AMPHORAS,

Becauseof the limitationsof storagespace, a large proportionof the householdwares was discarded at the time of excavation,and the bulk was reducedfrom 34 to 7 tins. Except for lekanai, terracotta figurines, loomweights, and spindle whorls, no detailed count of this material was recorded.The following totals refer to the remaining material, except where otherwise noted. Numbers indicate rim fragments (unless otherwise stipulated), not estimates of total pots represented. HOUSEHOLD WARE
