402 MARIO IOZZO Weinberg, 1954, p. 129, note 131, pl. 30:h; An- derson, p. 90, no. 99. Very compact, pale yellow clay (2.5Y 8/4) at the core with a very few gray inclusions; white clay (2.5Y 8/2) at the surface. There is no slip, but the surface is highly polished; slightly eroded surface. Fresh matrixes. Hollow, cylindrical stand with two bands separated by thin grooves and decorated with wavy, herring- bone hatching made with a four-pointed punch. Be- low, a row of tongues with a double border is spaced at uneven intervals. Findspot: "Tile Works".206 Weinberg dates this fragment to the 5th century B.C., hypothesizing its manufacture at the Tile Works itself. A typological examination of the decoration suggests a date during the 5th century, perhaps toward the end; the flat bands decorated with wavy hatching are rather com- mon in the plastic production of Archaic Corinth. Likewise, the short, wide, and completely flattened tongues with widening borders seem to have lost the exactness of Archaic and early 5th-century examples.207 Ca. 450 B.C. 103. Fragmentary bowl and stand P1. 79 C-71-626. Bowl: H. 0.116, rest. D. 0.258, Th. 0.035. Stand: H. 0.132, rest. D. 0.168, Th. 0.016. Impure, reddish yellow clay (7.5YR 7/6) with predominantly red inclusions; fine slip of the same reddish yellow color with a layer of light reddish brown grains (5YR 6/3) on the interior at the bottom of the bowl. About one third of the basin and a small part of the stand are preserved in six joining fragments; the outer part of the rim is missing. Eroded surface. Hollow, cylindrical stand, modeled with distinct profile; the floor of the bowl gradually decreases in thickness toward the periphery; the inner part of the rim, perhaps the overhanging type, was very likely thickened and flattened on top. At the top of the stand and at its point of attachment to the bowl, there is a wide brown band from which thin streaks of the same color run down: they are placed vertical- ly around the stand at uneven intervals. Findspot: Forum Southwest, pottery deposit east of Building 11,208 The basin was found in a context datable between the beginning of the 4th century and 325 B.C. 104. Stand fragment P1. 79 C-65-425. H. 0.119, W. 0.242. Stand: D. 0.168. Bowl: Th. 0.035. Porous, white clay (IOYR 8/2) with red inclusions, terracotta particles, and other impurities; fine, pink slip (7.5YR 8/4) with a layer of gray grains and pink terracotta bits (7.5YR 7/4) on the inside of the bowl at the bottom. A portion of the stand with its entire upper diameter and junction with the bowl are preserved; eroded surface with wide areas of chipping. Hollow, cylindrical stand in continuous profile with the bowl above; at the juncture there is a wide brown band, under which a thin groove of varying depth is irregularly traced. Findspot: Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore.209 The fragment was not found in a datable context. 5th or 4th century B.C. 105. Bowl fragment Fig. 4, P1. 79 CP-78. H. 0.067, W. 0.235. Stand: rest. D. 0.185. Bowl: Th. 0.035. Slightly impure, very pale brown clay (1OYR 7/3) with predominantly gray inclusions; thin, pink slip (7.5YR 8/4) on the outer surfaces and a compact layer of light-brown grains (7.5YR 6/4) on the inside at the bottom. A small part of the original circumference with the beginning of the stand is preserved; eroded surface. Hollow, cylindrical stand in continuous profile with the bowl above; the bowl gradually decreases in thickness toward the periphery. At the juncture is a wide band painted in a slightly diluted brown color. Findspot: Well S (well 1915-6) of the Julian Basilica. 5th or 4th century B.C. 206 See footnote 56 above. 207 For the stamped tongues of varying typology on basins produced in Sicily and Magna Graecia, see the numerous examples in Allegro (footnote 32 above), passim, and Jozzo, passim. 208 Williams and Fisher, 1972, p. 169. 209 For the 1965 campaign in the sanctuary, see Stroud, 1968.

D. 0.2 1-0.24, Th. 0.016. Slightly impure, pink clay (7.5YR 7/4) with predominantly gray inclusions; very thin slip of the same pink color. Part of the stand including the juncture with the bowl is preserved in 1 1 joining fragments; surface eroded in places, with some areas of chipping. Hollow, cylindrical stand splaying at the bottom, in continuous profile with the bowl above. At the point of juncture is a wide band painted in a slightly diluted brown color, with a pattern of vertical brush- strokes below; they are regularly painted with the same color, but they are not evenly spaced. Findspot: Potters' Quarter, Well II, excavated in the rock north of the northwest corner of the Erosa Shrine,210 containing materials mostly dated to the late 5th century B.C. 107. Stand fragments P1. 79 P 24229. H. 0.218, W. 0.15, rest. D. 0.22, Th. 0.011. Mentioned in Agora XII, under no. 1859, p. 367. Slightly impure, very pale brown clay (1OYR 7/4) with predominantly gray inclusions; fine, reddish yellow slip (7.5YR 7/6) confined to the outer surface. About one half of the original circumference is preserved in five fragments, four of which join; slightly eroded surface. Hollow, cylindrical stand, slightly tapering at the top, with thin vertical lines painted a diluted brown; the lines are fairly regularly traced but at uneven distances (average width: 0.084). Findspot: Athenian Agora, from the layers of destruction over the "House of Simon".21' The fragments were found in a context datable between the end of the 5th and the beginning of the 3rd century B.C.212 108. Fragmentary support P1. 79 C-47-849. H. 0.644. Stand: bottom D. 0.46, top D. 0.40; Th. 0.02. Base support: H. 0.03. Weinberg, 1949, p. 149, pl. 14:5. Impure, yellowish red clay (5YR 5/8) with red inclusions; pink slip (5YR 8/4). Almost the entire stand is preserved in numerous restored fragments; surface deeply eroded in places with wide areas of chipping. Hollow, cylindrical stand which widens at the bottom to form a broad, circular, and slightly flared, straight base support. The stand is bordered above by a projecting ring; above this the profile flares, concave, then carinated, with a rounded inner edge. Findspot: Well 1947-3 (N:20), which has yielded materials datable from the Hellenistic period up to the destruction of Corinth in 146 B.C.213 323-146 B.C. 210 Corinth XV, i, pp. 28-29, pl. 7:B bottom right; Corinth XV, iii, plan. 211 Agora XII, area G:13, fig. 25. 212 For the "House of Simon", see Agora XIV (footnote 69 above), pp. 173-174. The fragments were found during the 1954 excavation campaign conducted in the southwest area of the Agora: see H. A. Thompson, "Activities in the Athenian Agora: 1954," Hesperia 24, 1955, pp. 50-71, esp. p. 54. 213 Broneer (footnote 107 above), p. 238; Weinberg, 1949, pp. 148-149; Corinth I, v (footnote 78 above), pp. 4, 12; Corinth VII, iii, p. 211, no. 46.
