Abstract

The Archaic deposit of the North Rampart at Amathous VI. Vases in the "Amathous style" The Archaic deposit, discovered close to the North Rampart of the lower city, has produced a small group of vases belonging to a specifically Amathousian series, traditionally labelled the "Amathous style". Although fragmentary, the lot allows complementing the repertory of this ceramic category, in terms of morphology (new amphora types), as well as technology and iconography. It prompts a reconsideration of the entire question and a new evaluation of an original production of the kingdom of Amathous at the end of the Archaic period.
