Résumé
Cornelis W. Neeft, Observations on the Thapsos class, p. 7-88. A. distinguishes five types of decoration within the Thapsos class : a panel, tripartite, zone, simple, and an ornate type. Their chronology is discussed and the vases are argued to belong to the LG and EPC period. A few fore-runners of MG II date are noticed ; the simple type is shown to exist until c. 600 BC. The place of manufacture is discussed under the headings decoration, shape, fabric, and distribution. Arguments for a manufacture outside Corinth outweigh those in favour of Corinth, but no likely candidate can be pointed out. The question is still open. Various sites where Thapsos vases been found are discussed. A disaster (earthquake ?) is assumed c. 730 BC. to explain the unegual distribution of the class in Delphi.
