Excavations at the Sanctuary of Parthenos at ancient Neapolis (modern Kavala) brought to light an important assemblage of (primarily archaic) East Greek and mainland Greece transport amphoras. The first part of this publication provides a summary of the amphora types found in the deposits of the sanctuary, their key identifying features, and evidence for their places of production. A catalogue of diagnostic fragments accompanies the presentation of each type, including a detailed fabric description. Lastly, there is a discussion about the economic dimension and the ritual use of transport amphoras from the sanctuary. All drawings and photos are by the author.
