PREFACE
The thoughtt hat we might undertaket o publisha complementarsye quelt o CorinthV, olumeV II,
Part 1, The Geometrica nd OrientalizingP ottery, by Saul S. Weinberg, came to us only by gradual
stages. The germ of it may be tracedt o our initial attemptst o locate the unpublishedit ems listed in
Payne's Necrocorinthiaw hich were said to be at Corinth. These efforts had brought to our notice so large
a body of unpublished pottery from old excavations as to make the publication of an article on the sub-
ject, as we had at first planned, seem inadequate. Therefore, in 1963 we sought the advice of the then
Director of the American School of Classical Studies, Professor Henry S. Robinson, who relayed our
question to the Publications Committee. The outcome was the proposal, which we gladly accepted, to
combine in one volume, in the Corinths eries, selected examples of still unpublishedA rchaic Corinthian
pottery, with a special section devoted to the rich hoard of materialf ound in 1962 in the well at Anaploga.
This division of the volume into two distinct parts is logical and practical. The Anaploga material natu-
rally follows upon the rest, since there is very little in the first Section that does not come from excavations
prior to 1962; there is a further distinction in that much of the older material was inventoried without
context and is here published primarily in its own right as pottery, whereas the Anaploga Well, being a
closed, significantly stratifiedd eposit, derives much of its importance from context. Hence, there is con-
siderable diversity of sources in the former Section, complete unity in the latter. (It follows that the cata-
logues are differentlyo rganized, the former in roughly chronological, the latter in basically stratigraphic
order; the catalogue numbers for the Anaploga Well are distinguished by the prefix "An".)
Both authors have personally examined, several times over, all of the material treated in this volume.
As a practical means of organizing the work, Amyx has been principally engaged in writing and editing
the text of the first Section, Lawrence that of the second. But we have, at all stages, consulted constantly
and acted jointly in the study of all the vases, and we take joint responsibility for our conclusions.
In the course of preparingt his volume, we have incurredm any obligations. First of all, the magnificent
cooperation and encouragement of the American School of Classical Studies has been an inspiration to
us. We wish to thank most particularly,f or their unfailing help and counsel over the years during which
we have been engaged in this investigation, the successiveo fficers of the School: DirectorsJ ohn L. Caskey,
Henry S. Robinson, and James McCredie; Corinth Excavations Director CharlesK . Williams II; School
SecretariesC olin N. Edmonson, Ronald Stroud, William Biers, John Lavezzi, and Robert Pounder; and
Corinth Secretaries Judith Perlzweig Binder, Helen von Raits Geagan, and Kathryn Butt. For their
many generous acts of aid and courtesy, we owe a special debt also to Corinth Museum officials George
Kachros, Evangelis Pappapsomas, and Spyros Marinos and to the pot-mender Nikos Didaskalou. We
have received valued help and advice from numerous scholars, among whom we would mention espe-
cially Professor J. L. Benson, Dr. Dietrich von Bothmer, and Professor Oscar Broneer. Most of the
photographs, except for those of our own making, are the work of successive School photographers
James Heyl, Ino Ioannidou and Lenio Bartzioti. Besides the drawings by Lawrence, we have made use of
some which we owe to the skillful hands of the late George Peschke and of Helen Besi and D. G. Peck.
The quality of our text has been much improved by the firm but kindly supervision of Marian
