PREFACE

"H

ellenistic pottery has been neglected, and deservedly." So wrote R M. Cook in 1960 (GreekPainted Pottery, p. 203). When viewed in the light of the Classical masterpieces, Hellenistic ceramics may seem to have little to offer. Potting had become a trade often pursued by an indifferent craftsman; the proportion of ill-centered, ungainly, and poorly fired pots is large. But there is still much that Hellenistic pottery can offer, to the archaeologist, certainly, and perhaps even to the art historian. For the archaeologist Hellenistic pottery can provide what any pottery provides: a chronological framework Even the meanest fragment may serve to date a significant building or deposit. Fortunately for the archaeologist, Hellenistic pottery is no longer neglected; in recent years there has been increased interest in the Hellenistic ceramics of many sites around the Mediterranean. Several volumes have appeared and more are expected soon. What can Hellenistic pottery offer to the art historian? The type of pottery presented in this volume represents the first large-scale application of the mold process to the production of Greek tableware. The mold technique had earlier been applied to terracotta figurines and in a few instances was used to produce pots of unusual design. Most pottery, however, continued to be wheelmade and it was not until the introduction of the so-called Megarian bowl that molds were used on a large scale. These bowls therefore stand at the beginning of a long series of moldmade ceramics, which includes such distinguished successors as Arretine and Wedgwood pottery. These vessels also represent the first Greek experiment in modular art. A limited number of motifs, most of them stamped into the molds with small, re-usable masters, reappear in countless arrangements and combinations. This modular approach to the decoration of the surface of the bowl is a comment, albeit a miive and probably unintentional one, on the relationship of the work of the artisvartisan to the technology of mass production. It reflects, as does contemporary major art, the redefinition of human possibilities that came with the disintegration of political, ideological, and artistic boundaries in the Hellenistic age. It is a comment that has been echoed more selfconsciously by many artists in our own century; viewed in the context of the art of the American Sixties, the bowls have a peculiar modernity. This book grew out of an interest in the Hellenistic world kindled and encouraged by Dorothy Burr Thompson. Her love for Hellenistic minor arts and her ability to reconstruct the fabric of antiquity from the scraps and remnants that are the archaeologist's portion have inspired two generations of students and scholars. The dedication of this volume to her is my inadequate expression of gratitude, respect, and love for her as a teacher, a scholar, and an individual. The present study is concerned with only a small part of the Hellenistic pottery found in the Ancient Agora of Athens: the moldmade hemispherical bowls which were manufactured from the late 3rd to the early 1st century before Christ. It is intended as the first of two volumes, the second and larger of which will be devoted to the Hellenistic wheelmade pottery from the Agora. I have relied heavily for format on Agora XII, which deals with the Archaic and Classical black and plain pottery. I also owe much to G. Roger Edwards and his fine volume on Corinthian Hellenistic pottery. Edwards devoted years of study to Athe-

PREFACE

nian Hellenistic pottery as well, and generously turned over to me many photographs and notes accumulated in the course of those researches. I would like to thank T. Leslie Shear, Jr., Director of the Agora Excavations, and Homer A. Thompson, former Director of the excavations, for permission to study and publish the material; both have read and reread the manuscript in several different drafts, and it has benefited greatly from their many helpful comments and suggestions. My debt to Homer Thompson is especially great, for his publication of the Hellenistic pottery found in the early years of excavation in the Agora paved the way for this volume; his interest, suggestions, and warm encouragement have been a source of comfort and inspiration. Invaluable help was given by Virginia Grace, who contributed many hours of her time in patient explanation of the chronology of the stamped amphora handles; and by Fred Kleiner, John Kroll, and Alan Walker, who gave freely of their advice on numismatic matters. Thanks are also due Judith Binder, Peter Callaghan, William A. Childs, C. W. J. Eliot, Christian Habicht, Ulrich Hausmann, H. A. Shapiro, Shelley Stone, John S. Traill, and Malcolm Wallace, all of whom contributed their expertise and assistance on scholarly problems. I am grateful to Charles K. Williams, I1 and Nancy Bookidis for allowing and assisting me to see the Hellenistic pottery at Corinth; to Hugh Sackett for permission to examine moldmade bowls at Knossos; and to James R McCredie for the opportunity to look at Hellenistic material on Samothrace. Most of the research was conducted in Athens, and I would like to thank Nancy Winter, Librarian of the Blegen Library of the American School of Classical Studies. I am also grateful to Ruth MacDonald of the Ralph Pickard Bell Library at Mount Allison University for her tireless efforts to obtain obscure publications through the interlibrary loan system. When I began my work on the moldmade bowls, I found in the Agora files many fine drawings which had been done over the years by Iro Athanasiadou and Piet de Jong; these have been supplemented with additional drawings by Helen Besi and Abigad Camp, to whom I am grateful for their painstaking work They cannot, however, be held responsible for the profiles of molds and drawings of conventional floral motifs and characteristic stamps of various workshops, which are the work of the author. Thanks to William B. Dinsmoor, Jr., who drew it, Plan A represents the most complete and accurate reconstruction of the Hellenistic Agora published to date. Eugene Vanderpool, Jr. and Alan Walker took new photographs of many of the objects in the Catalogue. Nikos Restakis, with the assistance of Kyriaki Moustaki, developed and printed the photographs. Special thanks are due Lucy Krystallis, Secretary of the Agora Excavations, for her assistance in amassing the photographs, and to Spyros Spyropoulos, mender, finder of misplaced pottery, and ingenious artificer, whose contribution to this study and to the Agora in general is beyond description. I am indebted to Christine Embree and Lynn A. Grant for typing and editorial assistance, and to A. R Lock and the Canadian Wildlife Service for the loan of Her Majesty's loyal paper cutter. I am especially grateful to Marian H. McAllister, the editor, for the thought and care she has devoted to this volume, and for the many improvements she has suggested. Research was supported in part by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation; I am grateful for their generosity. Words are inadequate to express my gratitude to Robert Lamberton, my friend and colleague, for everything from editorial assistance and advice on botanical terminology to meditations on the relevance of the objects presented here to the modern world, and, most of all,for his sustaining and loving support and patience. And finally, I thank my parents, to whom this volume is in part dedicated, and without whom, for reasons beyond number, it would not have been written.

Late 2nd to early 1st century Second and third quarters of 2nd century

Two chambers connected by tunnel. Lower fill in tunnel and both chambers contemporary. E 6:2 had upper fill of early 1st century. Upper fill of E 6:l was Roman. E 6:2 (upper fill): three Knidian amphora handles date from late 2nd to early 1st century, naming eponyms Euphragoras (SS 6502 [KT 1598]), Sosiphron (SS 6503 [KT 1568]), and Aristomenes (SS 6504 [KT 16261). Coin of 130-90 (Kleiner 6). Type 51 C lamp (Agora IV, no. 693). Although these objects are later than those in lower fill, a single join between material from upper and lower fills and presence of long-petal bowls in both fills indicate some mixing of the two fills. 146 E 6:l + E 6:2 (lower fill): joins between objects in both chambers and tunnel between them indicate fill the same. Latest of 20 stamped amphora handles are Knidian, date 188-167 (period IVA) (SS 6517 [KT 5311, SS 6500 [KT 6541, SS 6511 [KT 7651, SS 6515 and SS 6518 [both KT 13831). Latest coin dates in first two

Second half of 3rd century (disturbed)

Connected by tunnels with E 15:3and E 14:3,all filledat different dates. Upper late Roman fill. Late Hellenistic accumulation or disturbance over surface of lower fill. Twenty stamped amphora handles, mostly Rhodian of ca. 244-220, the latest perhaps ca. 218 (eponym Simylinos:SS 4173). Note, however, pair of Knidian handles of ca. 150 found near top of fill (eponym Euphragoras: SS 4266 and SS 4268 [both KT 9621). Coins: several early 3rd century (Svoronos, pl. 2254-70; pl. 103:17); Athenian or Delian bronze of 85-30 (Svoronos, pl. 106:29); Athenian imperial bronze of 2nd century after Christ (Svoronos, pl. 85). Most pottery dates in second half of 3rd century but evidence of disturbance includes coins and Knidian handles mentioned above, early Roman pottery, lamp, and glass, "Pergamene" ware, and fragments of 18 long-petal bowls. Possibly disturbance comes from lower fill of drawshaft E 14:3, which extended down connecting tunnel towards E 14:l. One stamp for manufacture of molds. 49,108,291,330,379,400,413 Agora IV; V; XII; Hespena 5, 1936, pp. 37-38, figs. 37, 38; D. B.

Drawshaft connected with chambers E 14:1 and E 15:3 by tunnels. Shaft also contained lower fill of late 4th and 3rd centuries, upper fill of 3rd century after Christ. Only middle fill contained moldmade relief bowls. Twenty stamped amphora handles: consistent group of 19 Knidian dating between 108 and88 (periodVI), 13 inlatest terms of this series, slightly before 88 (eponyms Andromenes, Aristokrates, Hermon, Pisinos). Coins include 19 specimens of earliest Athenian post-Sullan coinage, dating between 86 and ca. 70 (Svoronos, pl. 25:12; pl. 79: 1-17; pl. 104:31-37,46-50; pl. 107:16-20).

Latest of ten stamped amphora handles are two Knidian of second quarter of 2nd century naming eponyms Aristeides (SS 4598 K T 3361) and Lysanios (SS 4599 [KT 856]), and one Rhodian of ca. 177 (eponym Archilaidas: SS 4600). Worn coin of 200-180 found in fill over bedrock near by, which is probably same fill as that of cistern (Kleiner 2b). Type 34 A lamp (Agora IV, no. 447). Many fragments oflong-petal bowls, suggesting material deposited ca. 140 or later. Cf. Piraeus Cistern for occurrence of long-petal bowls with amphora handles of early second quarter of 2nd century (see Appendix). 64, 202, 287,405 D. B. Thompson, "Hellenistic Terracottas, V," p. 50.

Nearly sterile lower fill, dumped middle fill, early Roman upper fill. None of 18 stamped amphora handles later than 150, closely paralleled by handles in G 5:3 and L 19:2. Rhodian eponyms Agesippos, Eukles, Nikon (3rd century); latest Knidian eponyms are Diogenes (SS 7668 and SS 7676 [both KT 581]), Dion (SS 7674 [KT 913]), Euphragoras (SS 7717 [KT197]),and Menippos (SS 7664 [KT 11231). Latest coin dates in late 3rd or early 2nd century (Svoronos, pl. 23:47-49). Later intrusion represented by type 50 B lamp of late 2nd to early 1st century.

H-K 12-14

Middle Stoa building fill

To ca. 180

Construction fill under floor of west end of Middle Stoa and between Middle Stoa and Heliaia to south. Date based on Grace's analysis of ca. 1500 stamped amphora handles in fill. None of nearly 900 Rhodian handles later than 183 or 182.Dating based on comparison with handles in Pergamon deposit, currently dated 210-176 or 175 (see p. 108). Seven of the 12 or 13 latest eponyms in Pergamon deposit not represented in construction fill of Middle Stoa, implying Stoa fill closed about seven years earlier than Pergamon deposit, i.e. in 183 or 182 (Grace and Sawatianou-Petropoulakou, pp. 290-291). Latest Rhodian eponym is either Nikasagoras 1 or Theaidetos. None of approximately 400 Knidian handles bear title "phrourarchos" characteristic of period IV A (188-167), but five names which occur elsewhere with this title appear (Archestratos, Philophron, Philippos, Philtatos, Theuphantos); see Grace and Sawatianou-Petropoulakou, p. 320. Latest Knidian handles therefore date shortly after 188. Analysis of amphora handles does not support contention, suggested by architectural evidence, that far west end was finished substantially later than rest of Stoa (see I 14:2). Latest coins date 200-180 (Kleiner 2c, 9). Five fragments of long-petal bowls and one fragment of figured bowl of M Monogram Class come from disturbed area of fill at west end of building. Otherwise bowls similar to those in other deposits of early 2nd century. Fragments of six molds. 37, 50, 63,65, 83,114,131,137,140,164,182,196,198, 220,223,229,232,264,278,282,283,294,296,314-316 Agora IV; X I ; XIV, pp. 66-68; D. B.

I 14:2

Pithos settling basin

2nd century?

Fill of pithos which served as settling basin in front of west end of south side of Heliaia. Basin probably covered during final phases of construction at west end of Middle Stoa. Architecture of west end of Stoa suggests it was finished later than rest of building; this later building activity has been associated with Hellenistic fill south of Middle Stoa (Kleiner,I, pp. 311-3 13, deposit 111: H-I 14:1) in which one of three stamped amphora handles dates in third quarter of 2nd century (Knidian eponym Philippos: SS 13540 [KT 17351). Analysis of amphora handles from building fill of Stoa, however, shows no chronological difference between those from west end and those from elsewhere in the fill. Pottery from settling basin nondescript. Single bowl is unusual type whichmay be early form of long-petal, but also resembles imbricate bowls of ca. 200. 344

REVISED CHRONOLOGY OF

PUBLISHED ATHENIAN HELLENISTIC GROUPS

THE AGORA: GROUPS A-E The five groups published by Thompson in 1934 cover the entire range of the Hellenistic period. Their validity as criteria for relative dating remains unaltered. Recent advances, however, in the study of coins and stamped amphora handles, the only objects commonly found in Hellenistic deposits which can be dated independently, have necessitated a revision of the absolute dates of the groups. GROUPA (Deposit G 13:4)' This deposit, dated by Thompson to the turn of the 4th to the 3rd century, is not of direct interest for the study of Athenian moldmade bowls; the bowls it contained came from an undatable supplementary fill at the top of the well that contained the deposit. The redating of the other groups, however, is closely connected with the date of the lower fill of Group A. The well contained a single stamped handle from a Thasian amphora.* The stamp names Telemachos, named also on a whole amphora from the construction fill of a well in the Agora, which dates within the third quarter of the 4th century (F 17:3). The handle is therefore older than the bulk of pottery in Group A. There were no coins. The deposit must therefore be assessed on the basis of comparison with material from other datable contexts. Thompson cited parallels from the Hellenistic cemeteries of Alexandria. Although the foundation of the city offers a terminus post quem, there is no reliable terminus ante quem for the material in the cemeteries. Since 1934 another, more helpful comparison has come to light. In 1959 excavations were carried out at Koroni, on the east coast of Attica, on the site of what proved to be a Ptolemaic fort3 Most of the pottery from that site was found to have parallels in Group A. It was accompanied, however, by coins of Ptolemy 11', the latest of which dates to 26716' or 2694. This suggested to the excavators that the site had been used for a short period of time during the Chremonidean War of the 260k5 Sparkes

and Talcott dated Group A to ca. 340-310,6 but the many parallels between Koroni and Group A indicate that some adjustment of this date is necessary. Group A must now be placed in the first quarter of the 3rd century, if not slightly later.7 The moldmade bowls provide the only clue to the date of the upper fdl. One fragment (A 75 : P 4053) was made in a worn mold and has the convex-band rim pattern common in the second quarter of the century. GROUPB (Deposit H 16:3)* The evidence from Koroni also affects the date of Group B. Thompson dated the material from this Hellenistic cistern system between 320 and 275.9 Grace, however, has determined that the one Rhodian amphora from this group, which one would have expected to be roughly contemporary with the handles from Koroni, is in fact about 25 years later than the latest Rhodian handles found at the Ptolemaic encampment.'' This discrepancy caused much consternation among students of both pottery and stamped amphora handles," since it was immediately clear that either the dating of Koroni or the dating of Groups A and B, and therefore of all 3rdcentury pottery and stamped amphora handles, was in error. The only question was which of the two should be adjusted. This question was soon resolved by Grace, who arrived at an independent confirmation of the date of Koroni through further study of Rhodian handles. A large deposit at Pergamon provides a reasonably well fixed point at about the middle of the series of Rhodian handles. Virtually all Rhodian eponyms datable before the closing of this deposit are now known from collections in Athens, Rhodes, and Alexandria. Grace arranged these names in a chronological list, working back from the year 175, the probable closing date of the Pergamon deposit. It seems that there are only about 65 years going back from the latest handles in the Pergamon deposit to the beginning of the practice of naming the months on Rhodian handles. This practice begins therefore about 240.12 Only the name of the fabricant appears on the Rhodian amphora from Group B. It is a round stamp with a rose in the center and the name Zenon running around its circumference. In all cases where this fabricant stamp is paired with an eponym stamp, the eponym dates slightly after the time when months began to be named. It has, however, been suggested that the eponym on the handle in Group B should be restored as Philokrates, whose term dates just before this practice was initiated.13In any event, the handle dates around 240, and therefore Group B must have been deposited after 240, approximately 35 years later than had been thought previously. Three legible coins were recovered from the cistern. The latest one dates within the first quarter of the 3rd century,14 but its extreme wear supports a date of ca. 240 for the deposit.

The earlier limit of Group B was placed around 320 on the basis of comparison of the red-figured pelikai B 1 and B 2 (P 1104, P 1105) with finds from Olynthos, Chatby, and southern Russia.15 Therefore the material in Group B covers a span of some 80 years. GROUPC (Deposit G 6:2)16 Thompson dated Group C to the early 2nd century. The datable material is meager. Re-examination of the five legible coins shows the latest to be a worn Athenian triobol of 229-215," which could have been deposited any time after 200. The absence of issues of the New Style bronze coinage with the fulminatingZeus reverse type (Kleiner 2) would suggest a date not long after 200; but since so few coins were recovered from the cistern, it is best not to rely too heavily on numismatic evidence. The only stamped amphora handle is not closely datable but belongs around the turn of the century.18 A study of the moldmade bowls in this group hints that the material may have been deposited as late as the second quarter of the century. The bowls are for the most part miscellaneous small fragments; only three bowls are substantially whole. Some were manufactured by Workshop A and the Workshop of Bion (e.g. C 21, C 22 : P 2432, P 404 from the Workshop of Bion; C 49, C 50 : P 4029, P 4030 from Workshop A). Twenty-two of the 38 bowls in Group C were made in worn molds, which indicates that the industry had been established for some time before they were made. Furthermore, several of the fragments themselves show traces of wear; the resting surface of C 27 (P 403) is worn, and the walls of C 18, C 24, C 25, and C 28 (P 402, P 4102, P 4103, P 407) show that the sherds were battered about for some time before being deposited. All of these worn bowls were themselves made in worn molds. The latest bowls are very similar to those from two other deposits excavated near by on the Kolonos Agoraios (F 5:l and G 5:3); some belong to the M Monogram Class (C 26, C 43, C 45, C 47 : P 4104, P 4023, P 4025, P 4027). Bowls of this sort occur elsewhere only in deposits containing material of the second quarter of the 2nd century and later (e.g. E 15:4, N 20:7, and 0 17:7). Neither F 5: 1 nor G 5:3 contains any numismatic evidence to indicate a date later than the early 2nd century, because, as Kleiner has demonstrated, no new coins were struck between ca. 180 and 145 (see p. 95).19 Both deposits, however, contain stamped amphora handles of about 150. Some of the lamps in F 5:1 and G 5:3 find parallels in Group C as well. These facts, together with the fairly close proximity of the three cisterns, suggest that they were filled at the same time, and that Group C was deposited during the second quarter of the 2nd century, though not necessarily later than about 165. GROUPD (Deposit H 16:4)20 Thompson dated Group D to the middle of the 2nd century. The only coin, a bronze with a cicada on the obverse and an amphora on the reverse (Kleiner 9), was formerly identified as a bronze of the Athenian klerouchoi of 166; it has now been redated to the first two decades of the 2nd century. The only stamped amphora handle may date slightly after 146.21 Over a third of the bowls in Group D are of the long-petal variety. This indicates that the deposit was laid down after 145, the date of the closing of the building fill of the Stoa of Attalos, which contained no long-petal bowls (P-R 6-12). All of the long-petal bowls in Group D were made in fresh molds; only one

showed any indication of extensive use before its deposit: the resting surface of D 41 (P 597) is worn. The combined evidence suggests that Group D was discarded not long after long-petal bowls began to be produced in Athens, probably before 125. As for the other bowls, two belong to a type that was manufactured in the second quarter of the 2nd century (D 34, D 37 : P 589, P 4079; see Class 2). Only one bowl of an early type appears in the group (D 35 : P 590; Workshop A); it was made in a fresh mold and must date in the late 3rd or early 2nd century. GROUPE (Deposit F 15:2)22 Thompson connected Group E with Sulla's sack of Athens in 86. An inscription found in the cistern and dated to the term of Nikodemos gives a terminus post quem of 122/l.23Re-examination of eight coins from the deposit resulted in only one identification, an Athenian bronze of the 2nd century (Svoronos, pl. 107, nos. 31-35). There are 13 stamped amphora handles, all of them Knidian, which Grace now dates no later than 110; there are none from period VI (ca. 108-88 B.c.), when the duoviri were named on Knidian hand l e ~This . ~ ~contrasts sharply with the handles in a large number of deposits which go right down to 88, when the practice of naming the duoviri was temporarily suspended (e.g. F 19:3 and M 20:l). The evidence of the handles suggests that Group E was deposited before the end of the 2nd century and does not represent debris from the Sullan destruction. A large proportion of the moldmade bowls are of the long-petal type, as one would expect in any deposit of the second half of the 2nd century. They differ, however, from the long-petal bowls in Group D in that half were made in worn molds (E 75, E 85 : P 3379, P 3388).

THE KERAMEIKOS: DIPYLON WELL B-1 In 1965 a well in the southeast corner of the Dipylon Gate in the Kerameikos was excavated by the German Archaeological Institute. The well and its relation to the gate have been discussed by Gottfried Gruben, and its contents were published by Karin B r a ~ The n ~ well ~ was excavated in arbitrary 0.50-meter layers (Abschnitten) which seem to belong to three different fills. Braun distinguished two lower fills, representing accumulation during two distinct periods of use, and separated in time by a gap of some years. Above this was a dump, apparently contemporary with the second cessation of use. The well then presumably continued in use. The upper four meters had been excavated in 1933 and the contents were lost. Braun dated the fills of the well on the basis of the stamped amphora handles. Because of the revisions within the amphora chronology of the 3rd century outlined above (see Groups A and B) the amphora handles from Dipylon well B-1 must be redated. Grace published a revision of these dates in 1974; it remains here to relate those new dates to the other material in the deposit. LOWERUSE FILL (Abschnitten I-IV):26 The existence of whole water jugs in the lowest stratum indicates that it was deposited during a period of use. It was clear from the stratigraphy around the well that its construction immediately postdated the construction of the Dipylon Gate, which was probably built between 307 and 304.27Braun dated the earliest pottery to ca. 300 on the basis of parallels with Thompson's Group A and the Hadra necropolis in Thompson, pp. 392-427. B. D. Meritt, "Greek Inscriptions," Hespena 10, 1941, pp. 61-62, no. 26. The inscription is said there to have been found in the wall of a modem cistern.

Alexandria. This date should perhaps be lowered in light of the discoveries at Koroni. Braun chose a historical event, the Athenian capitulation to Antigonos in 261, as the occasion for the end of the first period of use. She based this conjecture on three Rhodian stamped amphora handles, which were formerly dated to the second quarter of the 3rd century.28According to the revised chronology, however, these handles date to ca. 222, 241-225, and 222-217.29Therefore any connection with the Chremonidean War is impossible. The first accumulation comes to an end, at the earliest, early in the fourth quarter of the 3rd century. This lower use fill contains no moldmade bowls, and this offers confirmation for the new, later date for their inception. UPPERUSE FILL(Abschnitten V-VIII)30 Moldmade bowls first appear in Abschnitt V, the lower part of the upper use fill. They appear as welldeveloped figured types, and the hypothesis of a gap of some years between the two fills seems justified. Braun, relying again on the stamped amphora handles, dated the lowest part of this fill around 230; the uppermost part and the dump above it she associated with Philip V's raid on Athens in ca. 200.31The revised dates of the stamped amphora handles preclude this possibility. The fabricant of a Rhodian handle from Abschnitt V (no. 135) dates it between ca. 208 and 196; the Rhodian eponym Archidarnos dates a handle from Abschnitt VII (no. 159) to ca. 192; and the Knidian stamp from Abschnitt VIII (no. 183) dates slightly before 188. Two of these three handles therefore date well after Philip's activities around the city.32 The rim patterns of most of the bowls are blurred, indicating that the molds were just beginning to show wear. The bowls in Abschnitten V and VI are for the most part from the Workshop of Bion (nos. 129, 131-133, 143) and Workshop A (nos. 128, 130, 134). Bowls of Workshop A are also found in Abschnitten VII-VIII (nos. 148, 149, 175?), but bowls of Bion are absent. There are two bowls of Class 2 (nos. 150, 174) and perhaps one of the M Monogram Class (no. 147). This implies that the upper use fill accumulated from ca. 200 to perhaps slightly after 175. DUMP(Abschnitten IX-XII)~~ Comparison of the material in Abschnitten IX and X with that in Abschnitt VIII, the highest part of the second use fill, suggested to Braun that the dump was little if any later than the top of the second use fill. She does, however, note four bronze coins, which she dates to 16716 or later, and cites them as evidence for continued use of the well.34Kleiner has dated this issue on stylistic and iconographical grounds between 150 and 140.~'There were two bowls of the M Monogram Class in the dump fill,36but no long-petal bowls. This supports a date no earlier than ca. 145 for the beginning of bowls with long-petal decoration in Athens.

complete account of the excavation and sorting of the pottery has been published, but apparently no stratigraphy was noticed when the cistern was Metzger dated the material from the cistern from the last quarter of the 3rd century to the middle of the 2nd century. The only datable objects are the stamped amphora handles, which she did not publish. Grace, however, has examined them, and believes them to date early in the period from 188 to 167 (period IV A). The latest of the five Rhodian handles is dated by the eponym Kleukrates to ca. 184. There are 28 Knidian handles, 11 of which are dated by four eponyms of the early "phrourarch" period (period IV A): Agistratos, Ariston, Telesiphron, and Philtatos. The Piraeus Cistern also contained several fragments of long-petal bowls.39It is surprising to find amphora handles of the first quarter of the 2nd century together with long-petal bowls that must date around the middle of the century at the earliest. The same unusual situation occurs, however, in E 15:4 in the Agora. Metzger concluded that long-petal bowls were manufactured in Athens in the second quarter of the 2nd century. The absence of long-petal bowls in the building fill of the Stoa of Attalos makes this unlikely. More probably the cistern held two fills which were not distinguished at the time of excavation. The lower fill would have contained the amphora handles and the imbricate, floral, and figured bowls, while the upper fill would have produced the long-petal bowls. Alternatively, the cistern may have held a single fill which accumulated gradually from the end of the 3rd century to some time in the third quarter of the 2nd century. 38 39
