| Summary: | This is a preliminary presentation of unpublished Attic pottery excavated from 1980 to 2000 at Tel Dor. Attic imports begin at Dor ca. 500 B.C.E. with black-figure and black-glaze drinking vessels (some with overpainting). Around 450 B.C.E. red figure replaces black figure, and the range of black-glaze types expands. The volume of red figure and black glaze is highest in the fourth century. Attic imports cease soon after ca. 300, perhaps because of changes in local taste, allied with the collapse of the Athenian mercantile economy and changes in Ptolemaic economic policy. The range of shapes is generally restricted to symposion vessels and fine tableware in addition to perfume lekythoi. The pattern seems to reflect local preferences and cannot confirm or refute the idea of a Greek presence at Dor. A similar distribution at other sites on the Levantine littoral suggests that traders used a north-south trade route. |
