Athenian black-figure vases of rare shapes from the excavations in Tyritake
The article deals with the problems of reconstruction and attribution of the fragments of the Athenian black-figure vases, excavated in ancient settlement Tyritake (in modern Kerch) in 2002-2019. Among the fragments there is a part of kyathos with a rare kind of painting with ivywreath along the ridge and Peleus fighting Thetis on the body; the kyathos can be compared with the kyathos by Lydos the Slave. Fragments of four pyxides of different kinds are studied, among them two fragments of the Nicosthenic pyxided. Two fragments belong to phialae decorated in the Six’s technique and attributed to the Theseus Painter. One cup fragment definitely belongs to a Merrythought cup, a rare kind of Athenian drinking-cups. Fragments of a stemless cup can be connected with the items, attributed to the Painter of Nicosia C 975, The Theseus Painter and The Group of Camiros Palmettes. There is a fragment of black-figure dinos and a fragment of a blackfigure calyx-krater. Some fragments could be defined like parts of mastoids.
