Note 1530 — Appendix B (to p. 168). The Date of the Argive-Aeginetan Embargo on Attic Pottery

Reading edition

Late seventh century Attic ware, style of Netos amphora, has been found at Naukratis, where Prinz, Funde, p. 77, argues that it must have been taken by Aeginetans, since Aegina was the only European Greek city with a concession at Naukratis. But for the general poverty of Athens at that period cp. the Acropolis finds, which show some thousand Dipylon sherds, as against only about forty Proto-Attic, 160 Vourva (Attic with zones of animals and rosette fill-ornament, date probably about 600 B.C.), fifteen Proto-Corinthian, and 125 Corinthian; Graef, Vasen Acrop. Athen, pp. 23, 34, 41, 44, 51. At least two of the Proto-Corinthian sherds, and a very considerable number of the Corinthian may be sixth century.
