Abstract

The number of Attic volute-kraters from the sanctuary
areas at Naukratis is relatively high, though
confined to the later sixth century BC; all but one are
in black-figure. A sherd that might be thought to belong
to the sequence is argued to be an early example
of the type A amphora. Distribution of the volute-krater
is discussed, with the slight numbers from Etruria
clearly contrasting with the considerable numbers for
other Attic shapes from the same period.
