“…Metaponto is the only South Italian site for which Apulian red-figure production has been verified through the discovery of workshop contexts. Fragments attributable to the circle of the Darius Painter were discovered in kiln dumps 3, 5 and 6 of the urban kerameikos (D'Andria 1975;Cracolici 2003;Silvestrelli 2005). However, these three dumps were composed during the second half of the fourth century BC, and thus shed no light on the first 75-100 years of Apulian red-figure production.…”

This deconstruction of how Apulian red-figure pottery came to be termed Tarentine has implications for archaeological methodology far beyond the Mediterranean. The author shows how the assumptions of great authorities, themselves rooted in a colonial world, led to a highly resistant model of core and periphery for pottery production that may have no basis in fact. It is a fine example of the process that has left us with so many unsuitable and immovable names for material from Samian to Gothic.

“…For example, kiln‐dump material has confirmed that the Creusa Painter was working at Metapontion (D'Andria 1975; Silvestrelli 2005), but this workshop seems to have specialized in vase shapes that were favoured by the local Metapontine market. He is also known to have decorated the larger kraters found almost exclusively in Peucetia (Silvestrelli 2008, 281–90), one of which—no.…”

“…The association of these initial South Italian workshops with Lucania was strengthened by important finds of kiln‐dump material at Metaponto, site of the ancient Greek colony of Metapontion, which confirmed that Early Lucanian red‐figure workshops had been active there c . 410–380 bc (D'Andria 1975; Cracolici 2003; Silvestrelli 2005).…”

New Evidence for Apulian Red‐figure Production Centres

A total of 52 South Italian red‐figure vases were subjected to neutron activation analysis. The primary aim of the study was to determine whether all Apulian red‐figure pottery datable to the period c. 430–340 bc was produced at the Greek colony of Taras, as has been widely assumed. Three chemically distinct compositional groups were isolated and compared to archaeological reference material from Taranto. The results of this comparison suggest that some Early Apulian red‐figure pottery may have been produced outside of Taras from the fifth century bc onwards.

Metapontion was founded c. 630, about a century after its neighbors Taras and Sybaris; it soon became known for the abundance of its grain production. Although textual sources for Metapontion are scarce, the archaeological record is extraordinarily full and offers particular insight into the diachronic development of the chōra, including a massive flood control and land improvement program carried out in the sixth century. The evidence from Metapontion allows us to see, in more detail than almost any other place, a dominant feature of life in ancient Greece: agricultural activity outside the main urban center.
