APPENDIX<br />

After this c<strong>at</strong>alogue had been compiled, certain basin fragments found during the 1970<br />

excav<strong>at</strong>ions248 conducted by the University <strong>of</strong> California <strong>at</strong> Los Angeles in the area <strong>of</strong> the<br />

West Cemetery <strong>at</strong> Isthmia came to my <strong>at</strong>tention. <strong>The</strong>y are presently kept among U.C.L.A.<br />

m<strong>at</strong>erial in the Isthmia Museum. <strong>The</strong> typology and chronology <strong>of</strong> these examples do not<br />

differ <strong>at</strong> all from the preceding basins, and they should be considered an integral part <strong>of</strong> the<br />

class.<br />

125. Stand fragment<br />

IPG 1970-68. H. 0.077, W. 0.073, rest. D. 0.40,<br />

Th. 0.029.<br />

Impure, reddish yellow clay <strong>at</strong> the core (7.5YR<br />

7/6), with some lighter tones <strong>at</strong> the surface (5YR<br />

7/6). Predominantly gray inclusions and white<br />

grains. Thick layer <strong>of</strong> very pale brown slip (1OYR<br />

8/3) on the outer surface. A small part <strong>of</strong> the orig-<br />

inal circumference is preserved. Slightly eroded<br />

surface with some chips.<br />

Hollow, cylindrical stand, modeled with four ridges<br />

on which are traces <strong>of</strong> color.<br />

Findspot: Isthmia, West Cemetery.<br />

6th century B.C.<br />

126. Bowl fragment Fig. 6, P1. 82<br />

IPG 1970-69. H. 0.07, W. 0.132, rest. D. 0.56,<br />

Th. 0.028.<br />

Impure, reddish yellow clay (7.5YR 8/6) with<br />

predominantly gray inclusions and white grains.<br />

A thin slip <strong>of</strong> the same color is confined to the<br />

outer surface <strong>of</strong> the rim and to the edge <strong>of</strong> the in-<br />

terior. On the rest <strong>of</strong> the inner surface, a thin<br />

layer <strong>of</strong> pinkish gray bits (5YR 7/2). A small<br />

part <strong>of</strong> the original circumference is preserved.<br />

Eroded surface with extensive areas <strong>of</strong> chipping<br />

and incrust<strong>at</strong>ions.<br />

Overhanging rim, articul<strong>at</strong>ed with pendulous,<br />

slightly inward slanting lip. <strong>The</strong> outer side <strong>of</strong> the lip<br />

is modeled with five ridges <strong>of</strong> varying height. Wide<br />

brown bands cover the top and bottom ridges; the<br />

central one is red, and the remaining two are un-<br />

painted. <strong>The</strong> upper brown band reaches the outer<br />

edge <strong>of</strong> the rim top.<br />

127. Bowl fragment P1. 82<br />

IPG 1970-70. H. 0.047, W. 0.106, rest. D. 0.588,<br />

Th. 0.019.<br />

Slightly impure clay, reddish yellow in color<br />

(7.5YR 8/6), with predominantly red inclusions<br />

and some terracotta particles. Fine, very pale<br />

brown slip (1OYR 8/4) over all the surface, which<br />

is smoother on the outside. A small part <strong>of</strong> the<br />

original circumference is preserved. Eroded sur-<br />

face with extensive areas <strong>of</strong> chipping.<br />

Overhanging rim, articul<strong>at</strong>ed with a pendulous,<br />

slightly inward slanting lip; horizontal top. <strong>The</strong> outer<br />

side <strong>of</strong> the lip is modeled with four ridges covered<br />

by altern<strong>at</strong>ely brown and dark red bands. <strong>The</strong> upper<br />

brown band reaches the outer edge <strong>of</strong> the rim top.<br />

Findspot: Isthmia, West Cemetery.<br />

4th century B.C.<br />

128. Base fragment<br />

IPG 1970-71. H. 0.065, W. 0.098, rest. D. 0.264,<br />

Th. 0.014.<br />

S<strong>of</strong>t, yellow clay (1OYR 7/6) with a few gray<br />

inclusions. Fine slip <strong>of</strong> the same yellow color. A<br />

small part <strong>of</strong> the original circumference is pre-<br />

served. Eroded surface.<br />

Circular base with carin<strong>at</strong>ed pr<strong>of</strong>ile, modeled with a<br />

fl<strong>at</strong>tened ridge which is bordered by thin grooves. A<br />

very dark brown band covers the ridge. On the top is<br />

preserved the beginning <strong>of</strong> a hollow, cylindrical<br />

stand.<br />
