5), namely red-figure vases (pelikai, kylikes, skyphoi and fish plates, apart from the above-mentioned bell kraters) and black glaze vessels (kylikes, bolsals, outturned rim bowls, saltcellars and rolled rim plates) (Rouillard et al., 1988-1989; Gomes, 2017a), deposited as votive offerings (Correia, 1928: 173).

Elsewhere are vitrines of Greek red- and black-figure vases, and Geometric pyxides, Corinthian amphoras, and Mycenaean kylikes, which Inti picks up and turns to reveal the decoration and signature.

kylikes from the Ayia Paraskevi deposit at Amyklai (Fig.

Although a few decorated kylikes FS 258 are still present, (14) pottery from this phase corresponds to classical LH IIIB2.

The forms were predominantly drinking cups, including both kylikes and skyphoi.

For example, the residents of Tsoungiza used kylikes (presumably for wine consumption) in numbers reasonably comparable to those used at palatial sites.

Patterns observed on the deep bowls are more varied than those seen on kylikes. The FM 75 paneled patterns are the most common motif, occurring as a main or subsidiary motif on more than 40% of the patterned deep bowl fragments.

(168) It should also be noted that patterned kylikes, which are generally lacking in LH IIIB2 deposits in the Argolid, are present in quantity.

For example, a LM IIIB painted terracotta larnax from a chamber tomb at Episkopi, Ierapetra, Crete, depicts standing individuals raising kylikes. (170) Another from Tanagra in Boiotia shows a person raising a kylix or goblet while another individual raises both hands in an apparent gesture of mourning.

(23) A spearhead and a sword also lay near the northwest wall of room 7, not far to the northeast of the bones and miniature kylikes. The spearhead is complete; the sword, although shattered when found, is nearly complete and its bronze is well preserved.

Since Mycenaean settlement deposits are in general dominated by precisely the sorts of serving vessels (such as kylikes) that would presumably be used in feasts, it is useful to attempt to develop criteria to identify ceramic remains from feasting.
