Archaic pottery from Sybaris, Kroton and Kaulonia

It is here presented a synthesis of the researches conducted on Archaic pottery from the Achaian apoikiai of Sybaris, Kroton and Kaulonia. The study was based on the examination of finds recovered from excavations in the urban centres, which are, for the most part, already preliminarily published. The chronological range chosen for the analysis spans approximately from the middle of the VIII century BC, the most ancient date derived from the pottery, to the defeat of Sybaris by Kroton at the end of the VI century BC.
