PAIONIAN GREY WARE Amongst the Paionians (for a short history of the Paionians, see the <strong>TFAHR</strong> 2008 and 2009 excavation reports online) the most common terracotta ware is loosely referred to as “Paionian Grey Ware.” It is grey in color, wheelmade, occasionally slipped or burnished, sometimes utilizing the shapes or earlier periods, but more often being adapted to Greek shapes.
PITHOS () A pithos is a very large storage jar for grain or liquids. It is set partially into the ground, and once set in position usually not moved again. If a pithos was damaged, it was common to mend the pithos with lead clamps. A stone or terracotta disk covers the top of the pithos.
