Here is presented a review limited, though not exclusively so, to the tableware that predominates among the mass of pottery recovered. e contexts taken into examination are: the Si Street levels (US439, US442), which are the richest in pottery, the grit floor (US400A-US400) and the underlying curvilinear buildings. The first two contexts are datable to the late 8th /early 7th centuries B.C., whereas the last ones date from the late 8th century B.C. As far as the ceramic imports are concerned, the Euboean imports are exceeded by Late-Geometric and Protocorinthian ones which gradually became less frequent from the first decades of the 7th century BC. Apart from skyphoi, the shapes that recur with greatest frequency are: kraters and/or louteria, shallow bowls or dishes, oinochoai and also hydriai. e following analysis of vessels is by shape.
