The results of thisresearch show that the advent of the Black Figure pottery style wasintrinsically related to the adoption by Corinthian potters of newmanufacturing techniques and recipes for their paints and slips. This change ofthe paint and gloss recipes required the use of new raw materials, which takesthe discussion on pottery production at the site from purely technical issuesto social and economic ones, such as access and control of these scarceresources or the relationships between potters and their local community.
