Some (Preliminary) Observations on Attic Black-Figure Pottery from Naukratis

Examining a considerable body of Attic black-figure pottery imported in Naukratis, the paper focuses on matters such as fluctuation of Attic black-figure pottery imports from the end of the 7th century to the end of the 6th century BCE, popular painters and potters, preferred vase shapes, and prevailing iconography. These, in relation to the findspots, may provide answers to questions such as when, why, how, by whom, and for whom Attic black-figure pottery was imported in Naukratis down to the end of the 6th century BCE.
