	Oinochoe (Getty Museum)
		The silversmith further elaborated the vessel with moldings and a rosette on the underside of the foot.
		Archaeologists have excavated most of the known parallels for this oinochoe in the northern part of Greece and in Bulgaria.
		Ultimately, however, the inspiration for both the form and decoration of this oinochoe came from Achaemenid Persian metalwork, as was the case for much Greek silver production at this time.

	V50 - Revelers Vase
		This graceful vase, known by its shape as "oinochoe" (ee-no-hoy), was used for the drawing and pouring of liquids like water and wine.
		The mouth is pinched in three areas, so the exact type of vase is said to be a "trefoil oinochoe" with a red figure painting, decorative to embellish banquet tables.
		Black glaze was used to sketch in details like muscles and clothing folds, and then the figures were often dabbed with small amounts of other colors to add shading, or to brighten the red effect.

	Barrel oinochoe [Italian peninsula, possibly Campania or Etruria] (1975.363) \| Object Page \| Timeline of Art History \| ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In the Geometric period of about 900 to 700 B.C., Greeks continued to be active seafarers, seeking opportunities for trade and founding new, independent cities in Asia Minor, Italy, and Sicily.
		Likewise, Euboean vases were exported from Pithekousai to Campania and Etruria, as were local (Italic) vessels decorated with typical Euboean Late Geometric designs, as on this oinochoe, a small jug that was used to dip out and serve wine.
		Its main figurative scene, two goats standing upright and, perhaps, nibbling at a tree, is a familiar motif in Near Eastern art, and appears on vases made in Euboea at this time.

	MVAP Trench PC 18 Week 1
		Despite several false alarms, we did not find a tomb in PC 18, nor did we find any material that could be said with certainty to have belonged to a tomb.
		While the high quality of the piece was consistent with what one might expect to find in a tomb, we had still not found an actual cinerary urn, and other factors were already leading us to believe that what we were excavating was not a funerary area, but rather the site of an Archaic habitation.
		We have begun the 2001 season with two major goals: to excavate any of the oinochoe that may still remain in the soil, and to learn more about the Archaic habitation area that we now believe we are excavating in PC 18.
