CHAPTER THREE
EAST GREEK AND OTHER IMPORTED POTTERY
Margaret S. Mook and William D.E. Coulson
INTRODUCTION
'his assemblage includes pottery with a variety of wares,
rincipally spanning the 7th through the 5th centuries BCE.'
1uch of the material is East Greek, with an admixture of
ottery imported from Greek Mainland centers such as
,thens, or from other areas of the Mediterranean. Many of
1e pieces, however, cannot be identified as coming specifially from any area of the eastern Mediterranean.
The fragmentary nature of this imported pottery at Dor
resents the main problem; only two vases, a jug and an
skos, could be completely restored. Although much infor1ation can be extracted from a body offragments, the broad
hronological and geographical span of this pottery coupled
tith the scarcity of published, stratigraphically recovered,
omparable material from East Greece itself, hinders the
jentification process. Nevertheless, all fragments preservng any part ofthe rim, base, handle, or body decoration are
;resented here in both the catalogue and the drawings.
THE POTTERY
\.variety of fabrics can be discerned, but nearly all the potcry has been well-fired and well-levigated. Very little tem>er has been employed, although inclusions frequently
nclude white limestone and micaceous particles. One of the
eatures common to the decorated pottery is the streaky
1uality of the paint. This often varies from Munsell 1OYR
\/1 black, where a thicker application of paint has been used,
o lOR 5/6 red in cases of thinner application, even in deco·ation applied in a single brush stroke. This characteristic is
:vident on many of the banded bowls and especially on the
"'ave-line fragments, among others. The surfaces of the
;herds and the painted decoration are generally very well
Jreserved.
Open Shapes
Less than half of the sherds belong to open shapes. By far the
najority, over 90%, of the fragments representing open
;hapes belong to banded bowls. These have been divided
into types and designated by consecutive letters. No other
Jpen shape was represented in large enough numbers for a
typology to be significant. The discussion of open shapes has
been divided into the following eight categories:
I.
II.
III.
IV.
V.
VI.
VII.
VIII.
Banded bowls (Types A-E)
Bases belonging to banded bowls (Types F-G)
Handles belonging to banded bowls
Decorated bowls and cups
Lebes
Plate
Mortarium
Ladle/Scoop
I. Banded bowls
A high percentage, 37%, of the pottery in this entire assemblage represents banded bowls. These are vessels with shallow, semi-spherical shaped bodies having one or two
horizontal loop handles' and a ringed foot. No banded bowl
has been found with a complete profile at Dor, but such complete shapes have been recovered from a number of sites,
and indicate that this type of bowl typically had a ringed
base.' As a number of such bases have been recovered at Dar,
it is very likely that the majority of these banded bowls did
have ringed feet.
The system of decoration is quite regular. The exterior is
always decorated with a band at the rim and there is often a
second band below. The top oft he interior is decbrated with
a broad band and frequently there is a narrow reserved band
on or near the lip. Narrower bands decorate the sides and
bottom of the vessel interior, forming concentric circles. The
interior is regularly slipped, often in a color different from
that of the fabric, while the exterior, if it is slipped, is regularly self-slipped.
Five types (A-E) can be distinguished by the character of
the rim, while subtypes may be recognized on the basis of
size. The basic types include bowls with diameters of 0.16
m. or larger. The subtype category has been established to
distinguish bowls (almost cups) with a diameter smaller than
0.16 m. This measurement, 0.16 m., represents the medial
size in the range of banded bowl diameters at Dor. Bowls
smaller than this have a distinctly different look. Subtypes
occur only within Types A, B, and E, and differ from the
main type in respect to size only.
Type A (Catalogue Nos. 6, 16, 42, 119, 169, 229-230, 259,
260,270,279, 310; Fig. 3.1:1-10) has a rim that is concave
and tapers up to a pointed lip. The rim diameter of this vessel
type ranges from 0.16 m. to 0.22 m. (although five of these
have a diameter of0.18 m.). There are eight Type AI bowls
(Nos. Ill, 118, 120, 191, 214, 215, 216, 308; Fig. 3.1: 11-18)
having diameters ranging from 0.10 m. to 0.14 m. Nos. 16,
93
42, 119, 120, 169, and 279 have a second exterior band,
while the exterior of 270 is further embellished with wavy
lines. This type of bowl is considered to come from East
Greece, but most examples have come from other areas of
the Mediterranean (Sukas II: 38, fn. 237; Gjerstad 1977: 31).
Possible local imitations have been found on Cyprus
(Coldstream 1981: 17-22; Gjerstad 1977: 31 ). 4
The earliest parallels for our Type A come from Mersin,
where the group was assigned to the late 7th/early 6th century BCE (Barnett 1940: 120-21 ). Such a date seems to represent the introduction of this form and decorative scheme;
there are now examples from as late as the 4th century BCE
at Mevorakh (Stern 1978: 41, Fig. 10:6-9, Pl. 30:1-4) 5
Banded bowls from the tomb near Ambelikou on Cyprus are
dated to the first half of the 6th century BCE, and the banded
bowls from Kition to the end of the 6th century BCE
(Gjerstad 1977: 31; 62). A bowl similar to Type A from Tell
Keisan has been assigned a date in the second quarter of the
6th century BCE (Briend and Humbert !980: 126, fn. 6, Pl.
22:6). The banded bowls that have been discovered in the
Athenian Agora and at Taanach, however, come from the
most stratigraphically secure contexts and are both dated to
the last quarter of the 5th century BCE (Agora XII: 357, Pl.
79:1721; Rast 1978: 51, Fig. 84:6). The contexts of the Dar
examples, particularly those coming from the favissa in Area
Cl (Nos. Ill, 117, 119, 120) and those from phase 6b in
Area C2 (Nos. 191, 214, 215, 216, 229), suggest that these
vessels were in use at Dar in the 5th century BCE, primarily
in the latter half of the century.
TypeBbowls(Nos.l7, 113, 181,258;Fig.3.2:1-4)generally have a pointed lip, but are characterized by their contracted rims. The upper portion of the vessel is steep, while
the lower wall is sharply angled towards the base. The rim
diameters range from 0.16 m. to 0.22 m. The seven Type B 1
banded bowls (Nos. 10, 53, 91, 112, 121, 264, 304; Fig.
3.2:5-11) vary from 0.12 m. to 0.15 m. in diameter.
Type B bowls are closely paralleled at Sukas, and Ploug
rightly points out the similarity of this bowl shape to that of
late 7th century BCE bird and rosette bowls 6 A bowl from
Neapolis, considered to be an imitation of East Greek
banded bowls, is unusually similar to Dor 121 in both profile
and interior decoration (Rouillard 1978: Fig. 13:1 0). The
terminus post quem for this piece from Neapolis is ca. 550
BCE. The Dor Type B bowls may span the last half of the
6th century through the mid 5th century BCE.
The character of the rim distinguishes Type C bowls (Nos.
84, 109-110, 182, 192, 195, 196, 218, 219, 265; Fig.
3.3:1-9). This is a ledge rim and overhangs on the interior,
slanting downwards, so that the lowest point of the lip has
the greatest thickness. Rim diameters range from 0.18 m. to
0.25 m. Very similar bowls with this ledge rim have been
found at both Sukas and Tarsus, and all have been assigned
6th century BCE dates 7 The examples from Sukas can be
dated to the second quarter of the 6th century BCE (Sukas
II: 40, Nos. I33a, 134). The banded one-handlers from the
Athenian Agora of this same shape are also primarily from
the late archaic period (Agora XII: 124-26, Pl. 30:742-43,
Fig. 8:742-43).' Banded bowls with this rim type, then, are
being made by the second quarter of the 6th century BCE
and continue to be popular throughout the century. 9
The two fragments classified as TypeD (Nos. I, 276; Fig.
3.4: 1-2) have the same overhanging ledge rim as Type C;
94
however, the rim is distinctly contracted. The upper wall
almost vertical, while the lower wall is sharply angle
towards the base (as was Type B). Also, these two fragmen
are coarser than the other banded bowl sherds. As such
small percentage of each vessel is preserved, accurate diam<
ter measurements cannot be determined. There are no goo
parallels for this particular shape, although the angled wa
is characteristic ofthe later one-handled banded bowls frm
the Athenian Agora (Agora XII: 125). Type D bowls rna
thus belong to the late 6th/early 5th century BCE and ar
probably imitations of East Greek banded bowls that hav
been produced elsewhere. It is difficult to establish the1
relationship to Type Band C bowls in terms of developmer
since the examples are not many.
TypeE(Nos.l9,48,51, 73,107,114,115,116,132, 17(
193; Fig. 3.5:1-10) represents the final banded bowl rir
form. Once again, the criterion for distinguishing this typ
is the shape of the rim, which is essentially concave with
rounded top and frequently a sharp inner lip. As with type
A and B, this bowl shape comes in two distinct sizes. Typ
E bowls range from 0.18 m. to 0.24 m. in diameter, while th
subtype, Type El bowls (Nos. 54, 194,269, 299),have diam
eters that measure from 0.13 m. to 0.15 m.
The earliest parallels come from Mersin, while those fron
Sukas may date to the second quarter of the 6th century BCI
(Barnett 1940: 120-21, Pl. 50:1; Riis 1970:82-83, Fig. 25c
Sukas II: 40, Pl. 6: 135). The examples from Tarsus com
mostly from 6th century BCE contexts, with some evidenc'
for a 5th century date, while the banded bowl from N eapoli
with this shape has a terminus post quem of ca. 550 BCI
(Tarsus III: 266, Fig. 88:1233, 1235; Rouillard 1978
282-83, Fig. 9:8). 10 As with Type B, these bowls would bes
be assigned to a broad period of manufacture, beginning ir
the second quarter of the 6th century and continuinJ
through the 5th century BCE.
II. Bases belonging to banded bowls
Twenty-three bases can be identified as belonging to bandec
bowls of the types described above. It is the interior decora
tion of horizontal bands (becoming concentric circles at th(
center of the bowl), the similarity in fabric, as well as the bas(
form of the comparanda, that enables one to identify them.'
These bases can be divided into two basic groups: thos(
belonging to deeper bowls and those from shallower bowls
This distinction is determined by the steepness of the side~
of the vessel near the base. Shallower bowl bases (Nos. 23
24-25,26,27,55,56, 149,183,184,198,202,247,255,261
probably belong to vessels having rim types C and E. Bowh
with these rim types have walls at the same angle as the wall~
on these base fragments. Similarly, the deeper bases (Nos
153, 197, 199, 200, 201, 235, 274, 291, 307; Fig. 3.6:1-9:
belong to vessels with steeper walls- those of rim types A
B, and D.
Within the above groups there are two types of ringed
base: Type F, with a flaring and bevelled (except Nos. 198
and 261) foot (Nos. 24-25 [Fig. 3.6:1 0], 26 [Fig. 3.6: 11], 153,
183 [Fig. 3.6: 12], 198 [Fig. 3.6:13], 199, 200, 201, 202 [Fig.
3.6:14], 235,247 [Fig. 3.6:15], 261 [Fig. 3.6:16], 291, 307),
and Type Fl, having a near semi-conical ringed foot (Nos.
27 [Fig. 3.6: 17], 55 [Fig. 3.6: 18], 56 [Fig. 3.6: 19], 184 [Fig.
3.6:20], 197, 255 [Fig. 3.6:21], 274), often with a torus-
Laped exterior. There is one Type F2 ringed base (No. 23;
g. 3.6:22) with a vertical foot, and one Type G base (No.
19; Fig. 3.6:23) that is small and nearly flat. The particular
pe of base employed does not have any correlation with
e vessel size or shape.
I. Handles belonging to banded bowls
f the nineteen preserved handles belonging to banded
)wls (Nos. 16, 30 [Fig. 3.7:1], 53, 58 [Fig. 3.7:2], 71 [Fig.
7:3], 98 [Fig. 3.7:4], 104 [Fig. 3.7:5], Ill, 116, 118, 125
'ig. 3. 7:6], 169, 191 [Fig. 3. 7:7], 214, 215, 216, 236, 259,
75 [Fig. 3. 7:8]), all but two (Nos. 16, 191 ), which are slightly
at, are round in section. The handle diameter increases
ith the increasing size of the vessel. The handles range from
008 m. to 0.012 m. in diameter, with the exception of one
~ry large handle (No. 116) that has a diameter of 0.025 m.
he handles (save No. 116) have paint only on upper or
uter surfaces that would have been applied with a brush
hile the vessel spun on a potter's wheel. The task ofpainttg the interior of the handle or the zone between the handle
ttachments was usually considered too time consuming to
e done. The roundish blobs of paint found on Nos. 53, 98,
II, and 118, on the upper surface of the junctions of the
andle with the body, were formed when the brush hit the
andle while a band was being applied to the body just
bove. The handle of 116 is completely covered with paint
nd was probably dipped, a method frequently employed in
1e 5th century BCE (Agora XII: 18).
V. Decorated bowls and cups
, small number of other decorated bowls and drinking cups
re represented in this Dor assemblage. One fragment (No.
95; Fig. 3.8: I) may belong to the class of pottery designated
,[ Mirra ware by Boardman (Boardman 1959: 163-64)."
'his has a buff slip and is decorated on the exterior with six
rayish red vertical stripes which descend into a lustrous red
orizontal band. The fabric and bichrome-effect painted
.ecoration parallel that of the so-called AI Mirra ware. This
ype of pottery is now thought to come from Cyprus, and is
enerally dated to late in the 8th century BCE (Coldstream
979: 264-65, Pl. 30:5, 6; Boardman 1980: 41-42, Fig . .l4).
Another fine bowl (No. !55; Fig. 3.8:2) is slipped and covred with a dark reddish brown paint and added white decoation, on the exterior. This type of surface treatment is
ound on the interior of Chian chalices in the 6th century
ICE, and is very elaborate in the first half of the century
Boardman 1967: 157). Dor No. !55 illustrates part of a
•ineyard scene and it is clear that the artist had a good comnand of the technique, although parallels are unknown-"
chis piece may be a derivation from Chian style, and so
lated to the 6th century BCE, perhaps the first half of the
:entury due to its complexity.
The rim of a drinking vessel, possibly a chalice, is repre'ented by No. 83 (Fig. 3.8:3). It is an elongated and pointed
"im with a band of red paint around the lip and two red blobs
lecorating the exterior. A second vase for drinking (No. 213;
0 ig. 3.8:4) is perhaps a kylix. The surface reveals that the
)ieee was either badly fired, or suffered weathering before
:xcavation recovery. The rim is inset and the lip is pointed.
fhe interior and the exterior above the inset are painted,
while on the exterior, below the inset, traces of ivy with dots
along the branches are preserved. This is a good Attic shape
and scenes with ivy dispersed throughout are characteristic
of the first half of the 5th century BCE. L4
Finally, bowl No. 233 (Fig. 3.8:5) is decorated with a floral
motif that does not belong to the Archaic or Classical Greek
repertoire. The shape is deep and spherical with a plain rim.
The exterior is slipped a light reddish brown with a darker
reddish brown band around the belly and a wide white band
above it, from which rises an elongated bud in outline with
a similarly shaped leaf on either side. Parallels for this
scheme of decoration are unknown.
V. Lebes
There is only one example of a lebes (No. 52; Fig. 3.8:6) in
this assemblage. It has a thickened, everted rim, a convex
(almost biconical) body, and one preserved upswinging horizontal handle. The entire vessel is painted black and the
exterior is decorated in white paint, with a register on the
belly formed by two bands framing a pattern of contiguous
'X'es. The profile, but not the decoration, is very similar to
that of a lebes from Tarsus, and may date to the 6th century
BCE (Tarsus III: 261, Fig. 139a: 1200).
VI. Plate
Plate rim No. 122 (Fig. 3.8:7) is the only one of its type preserved at Dor. It has a slightly everted bulbous rim with a
squared off outer lip. The interior of the rim is painted red,
while along the lip and just under it are a series of red and
black bands against a pink slip. This is a characteristic type
of East Greek plate rim decoration, although there are no
exact parallels for this shape. It should date to the first quarter of the 6th century BCE (Boardman and Hayes 1966: 90,
96, Pl. 69: I 020).
VII. Mortarium
A fragment of a heavy rim (No. 173; Fig. 3.8:8) belongs to a
large, shallow vessel, probably a mortarium. Parallels from
Taanach belong to the 5th century BCE, although the form
continues into the Hellenistic period (Taanach 1: 50). The
Tel Dor example differs from other parallels in that it has
white stripes on the top of the rim and interior.
VIII. Ladle/scoop
A ladle or scoop is represented by No. 154 (Fig. 3.8:9), in
which the upper portion of the bowl and the lower handle
are preserved. Although this example is decorated with pink
paint on the handle and red on the bowl, its shape is very
close to that of an undecorated piece from the Athenian
Agora, which belongs to the last quarter of the 5th century
BCE (Agora XII: 229, 375, Pl. 96: 1992).
Closed Shapes
Over half of this assemblage represents fragments of shapes
belonging to closed vessels. Many of the sherds, however, are
such that the specific shape can no longer be identified. The
discussion of closed shapes has been divided into the eleven
sections below:
95
IX.
X.
XI.
XII.
XIII.
XIV.
Lekythoi
Amphoriskoi
Askos
Oinochoai
Table amphoras/jugs (Types H-J)
Bases belonging to table amphoras/jugs (Types
K-L)
XV. Decorated body sherds belonging to closed vessels (Types M-S)
XVI. Amphora rims (Types T -BB)
XVII. Amphora toes
XVIII. Amphora handles (Types CC-FF)
XIX. Amphora body fragment
IX. Lekythoi
The very fine, light-ground, pattern lekythos is represented
here by three examples (Nos. 211-212,225, 273). All three
appear to be the work of the Beldam workshop, or at least
were done by a painter heavily influenced by it. Lekythos
wall fragment No. 225 (Fig. 3.9:2) is decorated with a rightrunning meander framed by sets of parallel bands, with a
three-tiered checkerboard patterned band below. A large
pendant palmette hangs from a band below the checkerboard. A very similar vase has been identified by Has pels as
a work actually done by the Beldam painter, and is dated to
470-460BCE(Haspels 1936: 18l;Jacobsthall927: 7l,Pl.
34a). The arrangement of the checkerboard panel below the
meander is, however, even more similar to that on a lekythos
recovered from the Athenian Agora and attributed to the
Beldam workshop(Townsend 1955:219, Pl. 77: 44). Similarly, a fragment from Tarsus has the same characteristics as
our No. 225 and is also from the Beldam workshop (Tarsus
III: 295, Fig. 98:1436). All three of these vases are dated to
470-460 BCE and, thus, so too should No. 225 be.
Only a portion of the body of the lekythos is preservec' in
fragment No. 273 (Fig. 3.9:3). The surfaces are very worn.
Nevertheless, the right-running meander with a three-tiered
checkerboard patterned band below, framed by bands, is of
a piece with No. 225 and should likewise be attributed to the
Beldam workshop. Thus, it can be dated to the second quarter of the 5th century BCE.
Nos. 211-212 (Fig. 3.9: 1) preserve the shoulder and upper
wall of a third light-ground lekythos. The shoulder is decorated with tongues and rays, and the upper body with a threetiered checkerboard patterned band that is bordered by
bands. Such decorative treatment on these parts ofthe vessel
are also characteristic of the Beldam workshop; the vase can
be dated safely to the second quarter of the 5th century BCE
(Knigge 1976:152-54, Pl. 41:295.1,3, 4, Pl. 66:300.1).
X. Amphoriskoi
At Dar, amphoriskoi are represented by two shoulder fragments (Nos. 4, 254). Both are decorated with concentric
bands around the shoulder and belly, on No. 4 (Fig. 3.9:4)
with black paint, while on No. 254 (Fig. 3.9:5) dark red paint
was used, against a light colored slip. This type of vessel has
been recognized as originating in Cyprus and dating to the
5th to 4th centuries BCE (Stern 1982: fn. 34). A good parallel
96
comes from Shikmona, on which the paint from the uprig
handles spreads onto the shoulder of the vessel and wou
account for the tongue-shaped blobs on our No.4 (Elgavi
1968: Pl. 69: 185).
XI. Askos
A single askos (No. 99; Fig. 3.9:6) can be identified amon<
the Dar material. It has a ringed base, biconical body, anc
wide spout. There is a band of red paint at the base and
mid-belly and three bands of red on the lower shoulder;
trace of red paint at the lip indicates a band, while the t<
and sides of the handle are also painted red. An East Gre<
askos from the Athenian Agora has the same shape and dec
ration, and comes from a context dated to 490-450 BC
(Agora XII: 358, Pl. 80: 1727; Fig. 14). Such a date is appr
priate for No. 99 as well.
XII. Oinochoai
Two fragments of trefoil shaped rims (Nos. 18, 217) demo1
strate the existence of oinochoai. No. 18 (Fig. 3.10: l) is fro1
a very small vessel with a black-painted exterior. The oth<
sherd, No. 217 (Fig. 3.10:2), is from a muchlargeroinocho
on which the rim has been poorly joined to the body. Tt
red paint on the rim was applied by dipping, and likewi'
exhibits a lack of technical precision." It is difficult to da1
these pieces, but No. 217 is probably from the 5th centur
BCE.
XIII. Table amphoras/jugs
When only small rim fragments are preserved, it is often di
ficult to distinguish between the jug and table amphor
shapes, as they often have similar rims. Three types (H-2
are represented. The first, Type H, does seem to belong t
table amphoras. Two examples (Nos. 305, 306; Fi!
3.10:3-4) have slightly incurving rims with thickened lip'
both are decorated with a black band on the exterior ofth
rim. On the basis of a parallel from Emporia, this form rna
date from as early as the mid-7th century BCE (Boardma
1967: 139, Fig. 87:504).
Type I is also represented by two examples (Nos. 168, 26!
Fig. 3.10:5-6), which are characterized by a thickene•
everted rim and a black-painted exterior. No. 263 is furthe
differentiated by a ridge running horizontally around th
neck. No exact parallels are known. Of the four examples o
Type J (Nos. 8, 123-124, 253, 257; Fig. 3.10:7-10), Nm
123-124 (Fig. 3.1 0:8) are of a distinctly different fabric, on·
that may be identified as Corinthian. All four fragment
have thickened offset rims that are decorated with a band o
red or black paint. A vase similar to Nos. 123-124 is faun<
in the Athenian Agora and dates our piece to the mid-5tl
century BCE (Agora XII: 190, 339, Pl. 62: 1480).
Neck fragment No. 242 (Fig. 3.10:11) has a pointed
slightly everted rim with a thickened lip and does not belon1
to any of the table amphora/jug types identified above. Th<
blackish brown band around the interior and exterior ofth<
rim is characteristic of Archaic East Greek table amphoras
The vertical curving lines on the neck of No. 242 are akin t<
the decoration on a Chian amphora fragment from Suka:
(Sukas II: 72, No. 322, Pl. 16), which is attributed to the earl]
ith century BCE. So too, the two 'hooked' lines preserved
m the worn surface of the neck may perhaps be the remains
>f a deep wavy line. Such decoration on East Greek jug,
tydria, and amphora necks is well attested in the 6th century
Hanfmann 1956: 176-82; Tarsus Ill: 326-27, No. 1625,
~ig. 155).
Handle fragment No. 309 (Fig. 3.10: 12) also belongs to a
ug or table amphora. The stripe down the exterior and arcng band over the upper attachment are common on such
]reek vessels in the Archaic period (Gjerstad 1977: Nos.
181 and 182, Pl. 21).
One complete jug (No. 15; Fig. 3.10:13) has been pre;erved. This is decorated with a dark gray band on the rim,
;even vertical stripes on the front shoulder that vary from
iark gray to red, while three dark gray bands decorate the
1pper body, and a band on the lower body and at the base
ue both red. The handle was probably painted dark gray.
>imilar elements are found on two oinochoai recovered at
focra."' Although these vessels are much more elaborate,
they provide a general time frame for our jug; it should date
to the 6th century BCE, perhaps the first half.
XIV. Bases belonging to table amphoras/jugs
There are two basic types of base (K-L) that can be considered to have come from either table amphoras or jugs: Type
K (Nos. 2, 290; Fig. 3.10: 14-15), is a flat base, and Type L
(Nos. 57,203,222,223, 300; Fig. 3.10:16-20), is a flaring,
bevelled, ring base. All bases, except No. 290, have a band
of paint on the exterior of the base. Type K base No. 290
(Fig. 3.10: 15) is apparently from a household vessel, but this
shape of foot, with or without the banding, is certainly
known from the mid-6th through the 5th centuries BCE
(Agora XII: No. 1613; Slaska 1978: 223-24, Pl. 95, Fig. 3).
Type L and the two subtypes, Type Ll (No. 100; Fig.
3.10:21) which is distinguished by its slightly flaring,
unbevelled, square-sectioned foot, and Type L2 (No. 86; Fig.
3.1 0:22) which is also not bevelled and has a much smaller
diameter, are shapes that can be traced from the 7th through
the 5th centuries BCE(Boardman 1967: No. 485;AgoraXII:
Nos. 1455, 1460, 1536). As has been noted above, banding
was most widely used as a decorative element in the 6th and
early 5th centuries BCE (Agora XII: 18).
XV. Decorated body sherds belonging to closed vessels
A considerable number of body sherds have preserved decoration. Types M-S introduce decorative motifs and elements that have not yet been discussed." The first motif
under discussion is the wavy line, Type M. As Hanfmann
has pointed out, wave-line ware was produced from the late
Geometric through the Archaic periods, and even into the
Classical period, at numerous East Greek workshops (Tarsus Ill: 324; Hanfmann 1956: 167-84). Nine examples of
wave-line ware can be identified amongst the imported
material (Nos. 12, 13, 40, 79, 80, 209, 246, 262, 278; Fig.
3.11:1-9). The wavy line on Nos. 79, 80,209,246, and 262
is framed by at least one band above and below, and is placed
on the shoulder of the vessel. These fragments may belong
to storage bins of the sort found in the Athenian Agora."
They could then be assigned to the last quarter of the 5th
century BCE.'''
No. 40 (Fig. 3.11 :3), a jug or amphora rim and neck fragment, is not paralleled exactly anywhere. The method of decoration is, however, very similar to that found on a krater at
Tarsus, possibly from the 7th century BCE (Tarsus Ill:
323-24, Fig. 107:1607). No. 278 (Fig. 3.11:9) represents a
wave-line vessel with added white decoration. The upper
wavy line has been made with white paint, characteristically
difficult to see (Agora XII: 19). This fragment is best
assigned to the 6th century BCE.
A single example of the zigzag motif (No. 156; Fig.
3.11: 10), Type N, is found amongst the Dor material. A red
zigzag with a band beneath it runs around the shoulder of
the vessel. Zigzags are popular decorative elements throughout the 7th and early 6th centuries BCE (Tarsus III: Nos.
1354, 1580, 1617, for example).
Type 0 designates the one fragment (No. 180; Fig.
3.11: 11) that may be identified as Tocra local ware. The fabric is of the correct type and the characteristic red and white
decoration is applied directly onto the clay, as it is in the vessels at Tocra. "' Tocra 1440 has a decorative scheme identical
to that on Dor No. 180 - a series of white-red-white horizontal bands. The terminus ante quem for vessels with this
type of decoration is ca. 600-590 BCE (Boardman and
Hayes 1966: 10).
Nos. 128-129 (Fig. 3.11: 12), Type P, possibly represent a
Rhodian vase. The fabric and surface treatment are paralleled by a Wild Goat amphora found at Sukas.lt has alternating red and white bands on the belly, and is assigned a date
early in the first quarter of the 6th century BCE (Sukas II:
51, 59, Pl. 9:171). A somewhat less similar, but nonetheless
parallel, East Greek vessel from a ca. 600-570 BCE context
in the Athenian Agora has similar slip and dark bands, but
is lacking the white ones (Agora XII: 34 7, Pl. 70: 1579). Our
vessel does come from the eastern Aegean, it may be
Rhodian, and dates to around the first quarter of the 6th century BCE.
Type Q consists of a single sherd (No. 60; Fig. 3.11:13)
having a vertical tree-type decoration in black paint over a
pink slip. This motif decorates the neck of No. 60, and cannot be identified as a Greek type. Although such a floral element would not be unexpected from Cyprus, no good
parallels are to be found.
The four sherds belonging to TypeR (Nos. 167, 178, Fig.
3.11: 14-15; and Nos. 207, 292, Fig. 3.12: 1-2) are decorated
with a band of scalloping on the shoulder. This decorative
element is found on a vase from Shikmona and on a vessel
from the Athenian Agora in a late Archaic (ca. 520-480
BCE) context (Elgavish 1968: Pl. 66: 182; Agora XII: 209,
357, Pl. 79: 1723). Several jug fragments from Tel Mevorakh
also have a scalloped band on the shoulders (Stern 1978: 41,
Fig. 10: 13-15). These date from the early to mid-5th century
BCE through the third quarter of the 4th century BCE.
Two vessels with pendant tongue or leaf decoration on
their shoulders are represented by Nos. 131 and 282-284
(Fig. 3.12:3-4), TypeS. Such motifs are found on vessels
from Cyprus, the Levant, and Macedonia. 21 Ploug associates
the unslipped variety, of which Nos. 282-284 (Fig. 3.12:4)
are examples, with a large group of vases from the second
half of the 6th century and the first third of the 5th century
BCE (Sukas II: 81, fn. 489). An oinochoe from Cyprus with
this motif is also dated to the second half of the 6th century.
Yet, No. 131 (Fig. 3.12:3) finds its closest parallel in a Cyp97
riot table amphora of Bichrome VII ware that has similar
fabric and slip and the same type of pendant red tongue or
leaf, each having a dark line down its center (Thalmann
1977: 73, Pl. 5:11, No. 90). This table amphora belongs to
the Cypro-classic II period and should thus date to 400-325
BCE, a date which may, then, be appropriate for No. 13!.
XVI. Amphora rims
Although some twenty-five amphora rim fragments have
been preserved, representing nine different shapes (Types
T -BB), only the three Chian examples can be identified with
certainty." It appears that only the Chian amphoras do in
fact come from the Greek Mediterranean.
Two types ofChian amphoras are present at Dor. Type T
(No. 46; Fig. 3.13: I) is the finer example. The exterior is
slipped light brown, the rim is rounded and the exterior of
the lip is covered with a band ofblack to red paint. The neck
is slightly bulging and carries a dipinto in the form of a dotted theta below the lip. This type is widely paralleled; such
Chian amphoras are found in the Athenian Agora, at
Corinth, Olbia, Emporia, Mevorakh, and Sukas, among
many others (Grace 1961: Fig. 44 (second from left),
P24873; Campbell 1938: 608, No. 13, Fig. 29;
Pharmakousky 1914: col. 231-32, Fig. 53:30; Boardman
1967: 180, Pl. 67:953; Stern 1978: 35, fn. 34, Pl. 25:6, Fig.
8; Sukas II: 71, Pl. 16:324). It is an import from the end of
the 6th century to the first two decades of the 5th century
BCE.
Type T1 (Nos. !08, 139; Fig. 3.13:2-3) is a later Chian
shape and has a fairly coarse fabric with a creamy colored
exterior. The lip is rounded and there is a distinct collar
around the neck - a characteristic feature of Chian
amphoras through the third quarter of the 5th century BCE
(Grace 1961: Fig. 43, first in rear, Fig. 44, last). Not enough
of No. 139 (Fig. 3.13:3) is preserved to determine whether
there is a vertical neck, as with No. 108 (Fig. 3.13:2), or
whether the bulging collar runs directly into the sloping
shoulder, a feature of the earlier examples. Type Tl rims
can, thus, be assigned to imports of the 5th century BCE,
prior to the last quarter.
Type U (No. 22; Fig. 3.13:4) has a thickened everted rim;
none of the neck is preserved. A similar amphora comes
from Kition and has a terminus post quem of ca. 600 BCE
(Johnston 1981:44, Pl. 29:51, Pl. 33:51).
Type V represents the largest class of amphora rims (Nos.
49, 77, 92, 96, 97,102,148,172,220, 268; Fig. 3.13:5-14).
The rim is thickened and only slightly everted.
Three examples (Nos. 65, 66, 67; Fig. 3.13: 15-17) represent Type W. These rims are deep and nearly triangular in
section, forming a broad ledge above the neck. No. 65 (Fig.
3.13: 15) is flat on top, while No. 67 (Fig. 3.13: I 7) is angled
downward.
Type X is preserved in one example (No. 145; Fig.
3.13: 18). The rim is slightly everted, triangular in section,
and forms a broad ledge overhanging the neck, similar to
Type W. A parallel shape is found at Tell Keisan, where it is
identified as Rhodian (Briend and Humbert !980: !12, Pl.
15: 14a). No. 145 may be a derivation of the form, but it does
not appear to be of Rhodian fabric. The Keisan amphora is
dated to the late 4th or early 3rd century BCE.
Type Y rims (Nos. 144, 14 7; Fig. 3.13: 19-20) are angular
98
and only slightly everted, while the subtype, Type Yl (Nm
21, 43; Fig. 3.13:21-22), has a much more sharply everte'
nm.
The one example of Type Z (No. 68; Fig. 3.13:23) has.
flaring neck with an everted rim that is flat on top with ;
vertical exterior.
Type AA (No. 143; Fig. 3.13:24) has a vertical neck and;
straight rim that slightly overhangs the neck; the exterior o
the lip is vertical.
The final amphora rim form is Type BB (No. 90; Fig
3.13:25). The walls of the neck slope inward, towards th1
rim, which is angular and everted. The handle is attache<
directly onto the rim and smeared into it. Such a feature i:
somewhat unusual, but a good parallel comes from Caesare:
Maritima, where it is dated to the end ofthe 2nd and the 3rc
centuries CE (Levine and Netzer 1986: 162, Fig. I: 14, 17).
XVII. Amphora toes
Amphora toes also exhibit a diversity of types. Each of th(
six examples (Nos. 28, 29, 76, 171, 244, 311, 312) is of a dif
ferent shape. No. 28 (Fig. 3.13:26) has a conical-shape(
pointed foot, with a rib just above the base. Where the inte·
rior profile extends to the top of the base, a small hollow io
formed. No. 29 (Fig. 3.13:27) is short and broad with
straight, slightly bevelled sides, and a small depression on
the underside. A shallow semi-spherical toe with rounded lip
is represented by No. 76 (Fig. 3.13:28). The underside is
marked with an off-center, circular pock mark, while the
interior has finger-swirl marks. No. 171 (Fig. 3.13:29) is
deep and broad with flaring lip and angular sides; there is a
very shallow depression in the underside and the upper lip
is decorated with a red band. No. 244 (Fig. 3.13:30) has a
rounded, everted lip and a hollowed underside.
No. 311 may be a Mendean or Thassian example. It has a
pointed evertedlip and a deep hollow in the underside, and
should date to the 5th or 4th century BCE. 23 Thassian toe
No. 312 has a rounded slightly everted lip with a shallow hollow in the underside. This toe can be compared to Histria
434 (Condurachi 1966: 485, Pl. 53:434).
XVIII. Amphora handles
A number of amphora handles have been recovered at Dor
and several of them have features of interest. Four handle
types can be distinguished (CC-FF). Handles are very difficult to date, as the shapes are consistent over long spans of
time.
Type CC is elliptical in shape and seven examples are to
be found in this assemblage (Nos. 14, 33, 72, 126, 161 [Fig.
3.13:31-35], 243, 248). Three of these, Nos. 14, 161, and
243, can be identified as Chian by their cream colored slips
and fabrics. No. 14 (Fig. 3.!3:31) has a glossy black to red
vertical stripe embellishing the handle exterior, while No.
161 (Fig. 3.13:35) is decorated with a reddish brown zigzag
stripe. Such painted decoration is used on Chian amphoras
from the late 7th/early 6th century BCE onwards (Boardman
and Hayes 1966: 136-37, Nos. 1414, 1415). No. 126 (Fig.
3.13:34) is slightly ribbed on the exterior.
One large flat handle (No. !50, Fig. 3.13:36), Type DO,
has been preserved. Two smaller flat handles (Nos. I 7 5, 18 5;
Fig. 3.13:37-38) make up Type EE. The exterior of No. 185
, decorated in red paint and has a horizontal stripe across
1e handle's apex, with two vertical stripes descending from
s center and framing the outer edges of the handle.
The final handle form, Type FF, includes a single example
fa double-rolled handle (No. 277; Fig. 3.13:39). It may be
Koan handle, since the double-barrel is a typical Koan fealfe, but non-Koan double-barrelled handles do exist. 14 It
oes not provide a key to dating the piece.
:IX. Amphora body fragment
, body sherd (No. 136; Fig. 3.13:40) with yellow slip that
as been covered with a streaky application of paint varying
com black to orange to red may have belonged to an 'SOS'
mphora. This 'a Ia brosse' surface treatment is characterisic of the Attic 'SOS' type amphora in the 7th century BCE
fhalmann 1977: 73-74, Pl. 6:6, No. 99; Karageorghis 1977:
2, Pl. 2: I, No.6). Such a technique is found on 6th century
ICE examples from the Athenian Agora as well (Agora XII:
92,341, Pl. 64:1501-1503), and must be dated to a broad
'eriod of time, including both the 7th and 6th centuries
ICE.
CONCLUSIONS
~he
relative numbers of East Greek and other Mediterratean imports found at Dor are indicative of general trade
>atterns. Very little pottery from the Aegean was being
brought into Dorduring the 7th century BCE. A single example of an Attic import and a small number of East Greek
pieces probably arrived during the latter half of the century.
The flow of pottery from East Greece steadily increases
throughout the 6th century, with vases from Rhodes being
imported early in the century, and pottery from Chios, and
even Tocra, following. A marked increase in the quantity of
Attic vases occurs in the second quarter of the 5th century
BCE. In the 5th century there is continued trade with East
Greece, although it is less vigorous than in the 6th century.
Only a few examples of East Greek pottery from the 4th century BCE were present on the site, indicating that trade with
this area of the Aegean had all but ceased. (See also discussion of Athenian imports in Chapter 4.)

CATALOGUE
This catalogue includes the diagnostic material initially
identified as East Greek from Areas A and C, with a few
examples from Area B. All sherds and vases are arranged
numerically according to locus. After each catalogue number is a brief identification of the piece, its type (if it forms
part of a typology), and the registration number. In order to
standardize descriptions of color, the Munsell Soil Color
Charts (Baltimore 1975) have been used to record the colors
of the fabric and paint. The most usual color for decoration
is IOYR 3/l, very dark gray, referred to here simply as black.
In several instances, the paint is streaky and varies from
black to red. This appears to be the result of variations in the
thickness of application -where the paint is thicker it is
black, where thinner it is red. A uniform characteristic of this
pottery is the presence of white limestone inclusions in the
fabric.
The following terminology is used in the catalogue: MPH
refers to the maximum preserved height, D. stands for diameter, W. for width, and Th. for thickness. Bands are always
horizontal, encircling the interior or exterior of the vessel.
When neither interior or exterior is distinguished for the
term slip, both are slipped. All measurements are given in
meters.

See Rast 1978: Fig. 84:6; Sukas II: 38, fn. 237, Pl. 6:!33a, Pl.
7:134, !36a, 137; Tarsus Ill: No. 1233; Stern 1978: Fig. 10:7,
Pl. 30: I; Johns 1933: Fig. 88, Pl. 35.
The bowls that result from mass production and are slightly
less fine are distinctive in that the base ring is also decorated
with a band.
It should be noted that a 'skyphos' from Tell Keisan, Briend
and Humbert 1980: l 09, Pl. 13:2 7, is more akin in shape and
decoration to Dor Type A than to the Hellenistic bowls ofTarsus or Ashdod.
See Sukas II: 40, fn. 244, Pl. 7: l36a for examples.
Riis 1970: 83, Fig. 25a; Sukas II: 40, Pl. 6: 133a, Pl. 7: 134; Tarsus Ill: 266, Nos. 1233-1241, Fig. 88, Fig. 141. There is some
evidence for 5th century BCE production. The fabric of the
Tarsus bowls seems very similar to that of the Dor examples.
Hanfmann suggests that the Tarsus bowls are imitations made
to Greek specifications.
The 'standard' Agora one-handler has a diameter half that of
the Dor examples, though larger bowls (e.g. No. 741) comparable to those at Dor do occur.
These bowls do occur in the 5th century BCE, but the published examples are few; see Agora XII: 125; Tarsus Ill: 266.
Ploug (Sukas II: 38-40) has rightly observed that although this
type ofbowl was held to be East Greek, the finds from the Athenian Agora have shown it to be a type with a more extended
provenience. It is therefore very difficult to suggest specific
centers of manufacture for the Dor bowls. So too, because the
examples from Dor were probably imported from a number of
places, it would be misleading to adduce diachronic development from this assemblage.
See Sukas II: Nos. 136a, 137, 380; Barnett 1940: Pl. 50:3, 5;
Oldenburg 1981: 77, Fig. 66:433.
The identification of 295 as possible AI Mirra ware was suggested to the authors by Jane C. Waldbaum, who also provided
the bibliographical references.
The authors would like to thank Gerald Schaus for examining
the photographs and drawings of many of the painted sherds,
and for providing helpful suggestions on provenience.

century BCE; 282, Pl. 102:1501, early 5th century BCE;
282-84,Pl.l03:1508, 1509,1511,1519,1523, l524,alldated
to ca. 490-480 BCE; 286-87, Pl. 104:1548, 1550, 1555, all
dated to ca. 490-480 BCE.
See Agora XII: 18,41 on dipping.
The Tocra vessels (Boardman and Hayes 1966: 42, Pl.
30:591-92) are much more elaborate, but the basic motifs are
the same.
Fragments of banded ware represent nearly half of the closed
vessels in this assemblage. Many of these have been discussed
above, and since reference is made to the general use of banding as a decorative motif, banded ware will not be discussed
separately here; there is little to add.
The Agora bins (Agora XII: 40,343, Pl. 67: l528-29)have been
identified as Eretrian.
See Thalmann 1977: 66, 72-73, No. 81, Pl. 6:2, where, except
for the neck of the krater, the interior was not painted. The
criterion for interpreting the Dor fragments as belonging to
closed vessels was primarily the lack of interior paint. Nevertheless, the shape ofDor 79, 80,209, and 262 is more suitable
for storage bins than kraters. Also, the squarish shape of the
wave-line on 209 is very closely paralleled by that on an olpe,
also dated to the second half of the 6th century BCE (Rouillard
1978: 284-85, Pl. 83, Fig. 14:3). See also Riis 1970: 118, Fig.
42a.
Boardman and Hayes 1966: especially Pl. 91:1439-1441.
Hayes points out that this type of white-red-white decoration
is typically Rhodian, but that the fabric and painting technique
ofTocra pieces 1439-1441 are not Rhodian.
Thalmann 1977: 75, No. 90, PI. 5: ll; Gjerstad 1972: Pl. 2, Fig.
65: ll; Sukas II: 81, fn. 489, No. 373; Elgavish 1968: Pl. 52:112.
For references to Olynthos, Nymphaion, Larissa, and Xanthus
see Sukas II: fn. 489.
The authors are indebted to Virginia Grace and Carolyn
Koehler of the Stamped Amphora Handle Department of the
Athenian Agora. They both kindly examined photographs and
drawings of the amphora material (except the Chiao pieces).
Unfortunately, none of these amphora rim fragments matched
particular profiles in Miss Grace's books of Greek profiles.
The authors would like to thank Carolyn Koehler and Virginia
Grace for this identification.
Maria Petropoulakou of the Stamped Amphora Handle
Department of the Athenian Agora examined photographs
and drawings of this handle and determined that it is not necessarily Koan.
