West Slope Ware from Daskyleion

Abstract

This study involves selected examples of the West Slope ware uncovered in Daskyleion. West Slope pottery, used commonly in the Hellenistic world by the first quarter of the 3^rd century B.C., is predominant among the Hellenistic fine pottery from the settlement. The strong influences of Pergamene workshops are observed on the forms and decorative schemes. The settlement presents not only the typical examples of Anatolian West Slope ware but also new distinctive forms such as Hellenistic kantharoi with ribbed bodies which have not yet been examined comprehensively.
