It includes items of the following groups: Komast cups, Siana cups, lip- cups, band-cups, Cassel cups, cups of type A mainly eye-cups, cup of type B, cup of type C, cup fragments of uncertain type and late cups; several band-skyphoi are also included. Items are arranged in chronological order, from Komast to Late cups. This second volume devoted to the Hermitage's Attic black-figure cups presents mainly objects from archaeological excavations on the island of Berezan, situated in the estuary of the rivers Dnieper (ancient Borysthenes) and Bug (ancient Hypanis), site of one of the earliest Greek settle- ments in the Northern Black Sea area, as well as objects from excavations in ancient Pantikapaion (modern Kerch) and the archaic necropolis of Olbia, a Milesian colony near the island of Berezan, on the right bank of the Dnieper-Bug estuary). There are also several vases from the main collection, mostly acquired in the 1911 and first half of the 20th century. Black-figure vases from those collections which have not, for various reasons, been included in this volume will appear in future volumes of the CVA. This volume publishes 128 cups and fragments. 21 of the vases had previously been published by V. Skud- nova (SKUDNOVA 1988); 13 of the Berezan cups and 1 Pantikapaion cup have been published in articles and expedition reports from various years. 93 of the cups in this volume are published here for the first time. Some cups in this volume have been dated and attributed in earlier publications, in catalogues or periodical works. More recent research has led to a further clarification of dating in a number of cases and the identi- fication of new groups and masters has led to re-attribution. I would like to express my gratitude to Anna Trofimova, Head of the Department of Classical Antiquities, who is coordinating work on the State Hermitage Museum's volumes of the Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum. My thanks must also go to Lubov Utkina, Keeper of Attic Vases, Julia Tuna, Keeper of the Olbia archeo- logical collection, Nina Kunina (t) and Dmitry Chistov, Keepers of the Pantikapaion archaeological collec- tion, and Dr Sergey Solovyov, Keeper of the Berezan archaeological collection. As usual, colleagues at the Hermitage have been unstinting in their professional support: Ludmila Shadricheva of the Library, Anna Pozdnjak and Evgenia Cherepanova of the Conservation Department, Leonard Heifetz who took the pho- tographs, Catherine Phillips who translated the text into English and of course my colleagues in the Depart- ment of Classical Antiquities: Elena Ananich, Elena Arsentyeva, Dr Anastasia Bukina and Nadezhda Zhizhi- na, who gave me valuable advice on reading the first manuscript. Ludmila Nekrasova provided considerable assistance in resolving many practical questions. Without the support of my parents Evgeny and Svetlana Petrakovi and my sister Inna in this, as in all my undertakings, this volume would not have been possible.
