| Abstract | PT HIS ARTICLE continues the publication of the Attic red-figured pottery from the . American excavations in Corinth.1 The many fragments of red figure that are presented here were brought to light for the most part in the years 1971-1979 during the investigation of the pre-Roman levels in the southwestern area of the Forum, the area that in the Classical period was principally occupied by the Underground Shrine, Buildings I-V, the Stele Shrine, the Centaur Bath, the Punic Amphora Building, and the Pentagonal Building, all situated to the south and west of the Classical racecourse.2 Save for a few scraps,3 all the inventoried red figure from these excavations has been included in the catalogue below. The findspot of each sherd is briefly recorded, but I have not attempted any general discussion of the stratigraphical significance of the red figure. The catalogue consists of some 92 items which are organized firstly by shape and then by date insofar as this is possible. 1-4 come from pelikai; 5-14, from column-kraters or in some cases perhaps stamnoi; 15-17 are from calyx-kraters; 18-44, from bell-kraters, although 20 might be a skyphos; 45-55, from bell-kraters or calyx-kraters; 56 is a fragment of a hydria; 57-59 belong to choes or squat lekythoi; 60-63, to squat lekythoi; 64 and 65 come from lekythoi of small dimensions; 66, from a lekythos or perhaps an alabastron; 67, from a pyxis; 68 and 69, from lekanis lids; 70 is part of a janiform head vase and 71 part of an animal-head rhyton; 72-81 come from skyphoi or kotylai; 82-86, from cups; and 87-92, from stemless cups. A glance at the above list will show that among these Attic red-figured fragments thickwalled vessels predominate,4 and that the most common thick-walled shape is the krater, |
