It further confirms through the study of figured decoration and shape that an important part of Attic kyathoi manufactured in this workshop was a legacy left by Psiax, a hypothesis already suggested for a few pieces by C. Jubier-Galinier. A study of shape makes it possible to group vases which would not be comparable on stylistic grounds alone, and it reinforces previous stylistic comparisons of figured decorations. It also points out the importance of the potter's work in the organization and understanding of Attic ceramic workshops.

This being a vast and known subject, it was decided to concentrate on the case study of one shape, the kyathos, for which a large range of aspects were studied: the origins and typology of the shape in Etruria and its variants according to regional tastes. Etruscan black-figure productions are also included. The research then moved on the Attic shores and proposed a study of Attic kyathos shapes (compared to the Etruscan models) and tried to identify workshops and potters’ shaping habits.

New approaches to the kantharos
Workshop to be held on April 21st-22nd 2016.
Columbia University.
The history of the ancient kantharos, which raises many questions for classical scholars, will be the subject of a small but sharply focused workshop planned for Spring 2016.
The kantharos in Attica is a rather rare form, always exceptionally well-modeled and decorated. During the first quarter of the 6th century BC, this complex shape, characterized by an open truncated cup, two elegant high handles, and a tall flaring foot, appears in the Attic black-figure repertoire, and soon after, the vase appears in Attic iconography as an attribute of the Greek god Dionysos. The sudden appearance of this shape in Attic pottery has been explained by the influence of an older Etruscan bucchero vessel type, the most important Etruscan pottery artifact to travel widely in the Western Mediterranean and the Aegean before the middle of the 6th century BC. It was the Greek world that copied the Etruscan rather than vice versa, an unusual situation.
Most Etruscologists agree with this hypothesis, and further evidence of Etruscan influence has surfaced, including a bucchero variant of prestigious Greek silver vases (A. Naso). At the same time, a number of new questions have been raised. If the black figure kantharos appears suddenly without previous connections in the local Proto-Attic repertoire, how do we explain the fact that similar shapes existed during the Mycenaean period, and that similar variants exist in Attic Geometric productions? Is Beazley’s kantharos A1 type really a new Athenian shape, or is it a reactivation of an ancient local type, influenced by the presence of the bucchero? Why would Dionysos be connected with a foreign vase shape? Do Near Eastern kantharoid vases play a role in the creation of the Etruscan shape during the late 8th century? Or was the Etruscan kantharos created as a local form to compete with the Greek wine cup with two handles and a foot? Together with the shape, cultural, technical and ritual practices could be exchanged and transformed. Study and discussion of older and new data on the kantharos will allow us to suggest a new paradigm of the form and its history, and lead us to a better understanding of the intercultural relationship between Greece and Etruria during a long chronological span.
The workshop, organized by Francesco de Angelis, Delphine Tonglet and Larissa Bonfante will be held at Columbia University in the spring of 2016. The following speakers have been invited: 1. Keynote lecture by Alan Shapiro (Johns Hopkins). 2. Regarding the Etruscan kantharos in the Mediterranean: Jean Gran-Aymerich (CNRS, Paris), Jean MacIntosh Turfa (Mediterranean Section, Penn Museum) and Delphine Tonglet (Metropolitan Museum of Art, senior Fellow). 2. For the connections between the kantharos and religion: Ioannis Mylonopoulos (Columbia University). 3. About the Greek kantharos, Isabelle Algrain (CReA-Patrimoine, Université libre de Bruxelles). 3. Finally, Sebastiano Soldi (Metropolitan Museum of Art, senior Fellow) will broaden the discussion to the kantharoid shapes of Ancient Anatolia.

« Just-so Stories », an Anthology of Animals on Early Attic Kyathoi.

This anthology of animals, often inspired by other Greek and foreign productions, reminded me of Kipling’s fertile and tender imagination in his “Just-so stories”.
In this presentation I will concentrate on animals and vegetal patterns which ornate two early black-figured kyathoi attributed to the potter Theozotos. This is the occasion to examine different influences of foreign pottery productions on Attic black-figure from an iconographic and stylistic point of view.
Theozotos’vases compose a unique pair of Attic globular kyathoi, dated around the middle of the 6th century or little after. One, found in Vulci, was signed by the potter and is now in the Louvre (inv. F69). The other, in the Basel Antikenmuseum (inv. BS 1402), was assigned to the same craftsman for its resemblance with the first vase.
Both are often isolated because of their unique character, reflecting a complex mix of Boeotian, East Greek and Etruscan influences.
The obvious link with Etruscan crafts regards the shape, imitating bucchero. This interesting aspect will not be discussed here, as it would take us beyond this symposion’s topic.
Though the potter’s name and some iconographical elements demonstrate connections with Boeotia, the technical and stylistic features show that the two kyathoi are of Attic traditional manufacture. Theozotos, if Boeotian, was working in Athens following the local technical tradition.
ANIMALS AND THE AMASIS PAINTER:
Some of the Amasis Painter’s miniaturistic works offer the best parallels to Theozotos’ kyathoi. D. von Bothmer already perceived it for the kyathos in Basel but we will look at the vase in Paris and concentrate on the happy goats parade. An unpublished band-cup fragment and an aryballos in the Metropolitan Museum, both attributed to the Amasis Painter, offer animals of very similar style. These animals of archaistic appearance show unusual features positionning the two kyathoi in a more defined production context than what has been proposed before.
VEGETAL ELEMENTS AND PATTERNS:
The vegetal patterns adorning Theozotos’ kyathoi – lotus bud-chains, rows of tongues and palmettes, pommegranates– as well as the organization of these elements on the different parts of the kyathoi, strongly recall the same patterns on neck amphorae of special shape produced by the craftsmen of the Botkin Class, the Princeton Painter and, again, Amasis and his painter. This kind of amphora shape and vegetal decoration are inspired by East Greek pottery.
The study of the decorative syntax of animals and plants on Theozotos’ kyathoi and other special or rare shapes allow to collocate the two vases, meant for the Etruscan market, in a movement open to external influences and experimentations in which Amasis and his painter played an important part. The East Greek touches, the vivid Boeotian contribution and the Attic savoir-faire, could only please the Etruscan taste. This announces the tendencies of Nikosthenes’ workshop.

Pour l’archéologue, ces changements peuvent être détectés et analysés via l’étude des objets qui ont été impliqués dans ces situations de rencontres et d’échanges.
Le séminaire de l’an passé nous proposait de suivre les traces, bien difficiles à déceler, des artisans grecs en mouvement dans le monde méditerranéen antique. Cette année, le focus sera déplacé sur l’objet. Nous aborderons la question de la pratique en itinérance et ses métamorphoses à travers l’appropriation et la réinvention matérielle de l’objet. En effet, un objet est associé à un certain nombre de fonctions, d’usages, de symboles, de pratiques. Qu’advient-il de ceux-ci lorsque l’objet est adopté dans une autre culture, lorsqu’il est importé, imité, transformé, adapté, détourné ?
Le thème du séminaire d’archéologie grecque nous placera dans ces zones liminales de l’échange interculturel entre l’Étrurie et la Grèce mais aussi le Proche Orient. Si l’objet grec, et apparenté, reste au cœur de nos interrogations, c’est dans ses contextes étrusques que nous l’aborderons et parmi d’autres apports venus d’Orient.
Le cours s’ouvrira sur une introduction au monde étrusque (origines et racines remontant à l’Âge du Bronze, situation en Méditerranée antique, caractéristiques et développement historique). Quelques sessions seront ensuite dédiées à l’exploration d’études plus théoriques et anthropologiques appliquées à la question des relations interculturelles. Ceci nous permettra d’analyser et de critiquer un florilège de mots et de concepts souvent employés dans la littérature scientifique à bon et à mauvais escient. Ensuite, les différentes interventions de chercheurs invités (de l’ULB, de France, d’Italie et de Suisse) nous permettront de couvrir, à travers une série de cas d’études précis, une période allant des premiers contacts entre monde grec et étrusque après la trouble période des « âges sombres » jusqu’au IVe siècle av. J.-C. et de découvrir des objets dans des contextes étrusques depuis la Plaine du Pô jusqu’à la Campanie étrusquisée.
