La céramique attique à figures rouges d’Argilos : étude des fragments mis au jour lors des fouilles de 2010 à 2016
The excavations from 2010 to 2016 at the site of Argilos in Northern Greece have made it possible to uncover a large number of Attic red-figure pottery sherds. The vast majority of this batch (215 fragments in total) comes from the Koutloudis sector, where a commercial complex, Building L, was recently discovered. The exceptions are two fragments from the South-West sector, two others from the sector along the coast and finally, three samples that were found out of stratigraphy.   These discoveries led to the creation of a catalogue constituting the first part of this thesis. There are 179 samples of Attic red-figure pottery, mostly dated from the last quarter of the 5th century to the first half of the 4th century, isolated, small, sometimes re-glued fragments, with the exception of a partially complete bell krater. Although fragmentary, the majority of these pieces provide sufficient information to allow identification of form, dating, and in some cases, attribution to a specific vase-painter or group of vase-painters.   The data collected in this catalogue are then the subject of a report. In addition to discussing and justifying the relative chronology of these fragments, the vase shapes, as well as the scenes, painters, and workshops listed are then grouped and analyzed. At the same time, there are many connections with the material found in Athens and other sites in northern Greece, including Olynthos, Toroni, Ainos and Pella, whose publications on red-figure material show significant similarities with the data collected at Argilos. Among these are the high proportion of late material that is a main theme for this research.
