FINAL OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS Based on the foregoing discussions of individual potters, painters and workshops, this chapter examines more general matters and trends. It draws, of course, mainly on the 738 cups listed in the catalogue and appendix, which are below referred to as the corpus. Often, however, reference is also made to cups in the rest of the author’s database, that is, outside the corpus. It must be kept in mind that statistics about Athenian pottery are always provisional and subject to change when new (and as yet unpublished) material becomes known; the effect can be particularly significant on our view of potters and painters whose extant, recognized work is small in number.1384 Shape and dimensions (charts 32-33, figs. 125-26) Potter Gordion cup Type B Lip-cup Band-cup Fragment1385 Total Eucheiros 11 2 13 Eucheiros’ son 1 1 Sondros 5 2 5 12 Sokles 2 5 5 4 16 Xenokles 26 8 2 36 Potter of London B 425 3 3 6 Phrynos 1 6 4 1 12 Archikles 1 1 1 3 Glaukytes 2 6 8 Exekias 5 11386 6 Taleides 7 1 8 Hermogenes 1 20 15 36 Tlempolemos 3 1 4 Kaulos 1 1 Thrax 1 1 Hischylos 2 2 Neandros 2 3 2 7 Amasis 3 3 Epitimos 8 8 Nikosthenes 1 2 1 4 Anakles 4 1 5 Nearchos 4 4 Tleson 173 24 30 227 Ergoteles 2 1 3 Centaur Painter 122 41 163 Total 10 408 123 47 541 Chart 32. Numbers of preserved cups according to the catalogued potters and type. Although most potters of little-master cups made both types, some of them may have had a preference (chart 32). A band-cup has not yet been attributed to Eucheiros, Eucheiros’s son, Sondros, Epitimos or Ergoteles, and neither Kaulos, Thrax, Hischylos nor Amasis is known to have fashioned a 1384 Consider, e.g., the recent publication of large amounts of Athenian black-figure from Gravisca (B. Iacobazzi) and the forthcoming publications of Athenian black-figure from Miletus (N. Kunisch) and the Sellada necropolis (N. Malagardis). Cf. also n. 101. 1385 These are fragments of which can not be determined whether they belong to a lip- or band-cup. Obviously, fragments of which the shape can be determined have been counted according to their shape. This applies to all charts in this chapter. The Gordion cups are only mentioned in charts concerning the corpus. 1386 It remains unclear whether band-cup 122, attributed to the Painter of Louvre F 54, who painted the lip-cups of the potter Exekias, was also fashioned by Exekias. 228 lip-cup. Furthermore, considerably more lip-cups are assigned to Xenokles, Tleson and the Centaur Painter, whereas Glaukytes has noticeably more band-cups. In the preceding chapters, the shape characteristics of the cups of individual potters have been noted, for instance the extremely delicate, early cups of Eucheiros, the very large and heavy cups of Epitimos, the curled-up feet of the cups of Neandros and associates, the fine potterwork and low, horizontal handles of Nearchos, and the small cups of both Tleson and the Centaur Painter. Yet a general overall development in both the lip-cup and the band-cup can be discerned (figs. 125-26 on the next pages). Probably the most obvious change is seen in the foot: starting as somewhat trumpet-like, with a thin, rounded base edge, the stems tends to get more slender and higher, as the base becomes sturdier, with a sharp, high edge. The standard little-master foot emerged between c. 555/50 BC and was generally in use from about 550 BC. Over the years, the bowl becomes more shallow and the handles, which are at first rather close to horizontal, curve up more, and the lip tends to stand more upright.1387 Lip-cup diameter Band-cup diameter Extremely small smaller than 12.0 2 (0.3 %) smaller than 12.0 10 (1.0 %) Extra small 12.0 - 13.9 86 (12.7 %) 12.0 - 14.9 73 (7.7 %) Small 14.0 - 16.9 206 (30.5 %) 15.0 - 18.9 50 (5.3 %) Medium 17.0 - 20.9 152 (22.5 %) 19.0 - 22.9 684 (72.2 %) Large 21.0 - 24.9 211 (31.2 %) 23.0 - 26.9 51 (5.4 %) Extra large 25.0 - 29.9 15 (2.2 %) 27.0 - 34.9 74 (7.8 %) Extremely large 30.0 and larger 4 (0.6 %) 35.0 and larger 6 (0.6 %) Chart 33. Diameters of little-master cups in the author’s database.1388 An overall trend in size is not evident. It seems that some potters threw extra large or extremely large lip-cups only, like Epitimos, and others shaped only small or extra small cups of both types, like Xenokles. The section on provenances below considers the sizes of lip- and band-cups in relation to their archaeological contexts with a view to determining whether the different sizes may be indicative of varied usage. The question remains whether the potters and painters of little-master cups specialized in them. Some influence from the painters of Siana cups has been cited above, especially concerning iconography. Furthermore, some Siana potters experimented with the lip-cup shape, as mentioned in the Introduction, and some little-master potters are known to have made Sianas (e.g., Exekias, Taleides, Hermogenes). Finally, the influence by the Heidelberg Painter on the Amasis Painter seems to indicate that the latter was at least very familiar with the former’s work and may have collaborated with him early in his career, as some commentators suggest. Otherwise, close links with Siana workshops have not been recognized. As explained, Eucheiros may have taken over his father’s pottery establishment and collaborated with two other potter-painters, Sondros and Sokles, although it can not be excluded that each of the three ran his own operation. Their only (recognized) work comprises small vessels.1389 Xenokles was responsible for the majority of the cups from his workshop and probably employed a small number of craftsmen: Potter and Painter of London B 425, Mule Painter and a few assistant painters, each represented by a small output.1390 Other shapes are not known to have originated in this pottery establishment. 1387 Clearly, the bowls of lip-cups by Tleson (e.g., 289 and 343) tend to be deeper than their contemporaries (fig. 125). 1388 Obviously, the many small fragments of which the diameter could not be reconstructed, are not counted. 1389 Besides drinking cups, a votive plaque in Athens has recently been attributed to the Sokles Painter by H. Mommsen (NM Acropolis 2526; Mommsen 2005a, 33, pl. 13.5). 1390 It is impossible to determine if the ‘assistants’ made up for their limited output by producing, e.g., black ware. 229 BC 560 1 __________________________________________________________________________________ 555 3 256 264 ___________________________________________________________________________ 550 235 289 __________________________________________________________________________________ 545 88 127 __________________________________________________________________________________ 540 343 __________________________________________________________________________________ 535 178 548 __________________________________________________________________________________ 530 201 __________________________________________________________________________________ 525 Fig. 125.

Another specialized workshop was that of Nearchos, all the more so after Tleson took over the management.

    Social Network Analysis and Connoisseurship in the Study of Athenian Potters’ Communities Eleni Hasaki – Diane Harris Cline Introduction This article presents a Social Network Analysis (SNA) of the collaborations between Athenian potters and painters of the 7th–5th centuries BC as established by Sir John D. Beazley in the first half of the 20th century AD. In his foundational connoisseurship studies, Beazley identified more than 1.000 potters and painters for over 20.000 black-figured and red-figured vases. His attributions, often critiqued for the opacity of his methodology, have remained largely unchallenged and yet are still central to stylistic analysis of these pots. Our project, entitled Social Networks of Athenian Potters, is the first to apply Social Network Analysis to visualize, quantify, and evaluate these associations and interconnections, moving beyond linear lists of painters and potters and encouraging scholars to obtain a synoptic view of the Athenian Kerameikos. The visualizations of the SNA reframe artisans into their roles as facilitators, bridges, and innovators. Beazley, Connoisseurship, and the Athenian Ceramic Industry The connoisseurship of Attic vase painting of the Archaic and Classical periods is synonymous with the career of Sir John Davidson Beazley, Lincoln Professor of Classical Archaeology at Oxford University. His pioneering research on Athenian vase-painters needs no lengthy introduction.1 Over a series of articles in the first decades of the 20th century and often incorporating other scholars’ attribution studies, he accomplished the Herculean task of attributing several thousands of Athenian pots decorated in black and red figure techniques to over 1.000 hands that he identified.

    Productivity of Athenian Vase-painters and Workshops Philip Sapirstein Introduction This paper examines the organization of the ancient Athenian pottery industry from a statistical perspective. My foundational research published in 2013 established a previously unrecognized pattern among vases attributed to Attic painters active between 600–400 BC by J.D. Beazley and later scholars.1 A regularity in the numbers of extant vases for each year a painter was active, defined as theannual attribution rate (henceforth AR), is a new tool for studying the economics of ancient painting. The current paper aims to clarify the relationship of the AR, which is based on tallies of firmly attributed works, to the actual lifetime productivity of an ancient artisan, and what this reveals about the total number of painters simultaneously active in the Kerameikos. The conclusions apply the AR concept to whole workshops rather than individual painters. Attribution Rates The inspiration for the AR is the 1959 economic study by R.M. Cook, who posited that Attic vase-painters worked at consistent rates which could be used to estimate total employment in the Kerameikos.2 If one artisan had decorated 3–4 vases per year out of the total of perhaps 40.000 pots that were known at Cook’s time, then about 70 painters must have been active, at least on average, over the 200 years of production. Because Beazley had also designated a large number of individual hands – about 500 from the 5th century BC – Cook thought the population should be higher by the Classical era, perhaps 100–125 painters.

  • The Pottery from the North Slope of the Acropolis
    THE POTTERY FROM THE NORTH SLOPE OF THE ACROPOLIS The pottery in question is the harvest of four seasons of excavation on the North Slope of the Acropolis.' Most of it is black-figured and red-figured ware. As the prehistoric pottery has already been described in solm-e detail by Mr. Broneer, nothing of earlier period than Geometric will be included here. At the end of the series the Hellenistic ware really closes the occupation of the site as far as anything of ceramic interest is concerned; the Roman is too scanty and too unimportant to merit inclusion.3 The custom of dropping r& zaXaua over the convenient edge of the Acropolis has been well established by centuries of precedent, to mention no other instances than the clearing of the citadel by the Athenians after the departure of the Persians4 and the further clearing of the hill by m-odern excavators.5 What wonder, then, that the newly- found pottery fragments are related to pieces discovered on the Acropolis during the last hundred years? Ten North Slope fragments join vases from the Acropolis and ' 1931-1934. Reports: Broneer, Hesperia, I, 1932, pp. 31ff.; IT, 1933, pp. 329 ff.

  • Images of Craft on Athenian Pottery: Context and Interpretation
    Sian Lewis Images of Craft on Athenian Pottery: Context and Interpretation In this paper I aim to con- sider a small group of Attic pots, those depicting craftsmen, in the light of their archaeological context. Some of the pots I will be discussing are very well-known, such as the Foundry Painter’s cup depicting metal-working (fig. 1), the Boston shoemaker amphora (fig. 2), and the Tleson Painter’s cup with potters at the wheel (fig. 3); images of this kind are often reproduced because of the wealth of detail they can offer about craft activity in antiquity. Other pots are less familiar, but they cover a range of craft activities: potters and Fig. 1 – Cup, Berlin 2294, from Vul ci. Foundry Painter, c.480 BC: bronze statue painters, metalworkers including ar- workshop (after BOARDMAN 2001, fig. 256.1). mourers (fig. 4) and bronze-workers, carpenters (fig. 5), stonemasons and leatherworkers 1. The group of pots is, as I said, small, about fifty in total, although the question of definition and grouping is one to which I will return. It is also strongly time-bounded: depictions of craft activity appear from later black-figure through archaic red-figure, i.e. between about 540 and 460, disappearing completely after this date 2. The pots are on the whole poorly contextualised, with few having a secure provenance 3. I suspect 1 All pots are listed in Appendix 1. 2 ZIOMECKI 1975, 17–19; BOARDMAN 1989, 220. 3 I am aware of the dangers inherent in an approach which analyses context: the number of pots is small, and the number of those with a provenance even more so, leaving most of the scenes stripped of context and making any conclusions at best tentative.
