Discussion

Regarding the relation of the monochrome

ware with the phenomenon of HBW, based
on the aforementioned data, the following

ware from Dodoni. The majority of the repertory found
in central Epirus consisted of vases used
for consumption purposes. This stands
in contrast with sites such as Tiryns and
Menelaion on Sparta where storage function
prevails among HBW20. Moreover, the use
of plastic decoration in Tiryns constitutes a
unique phenomenon as, in most of the finding
places of HBW, sherds were undecorated.
Even, in the ceramic assemblage from
Epirus itself very few examples of burnished
monochrome sherds with plastic decoration
have been found (mainly in Dodoni).
