are dated between the end of the fifth and the third century B. C. In this last period, the particularly favorable position of this site, which controlled the valley of the Agri River, is visible from the analysis of the finds in the assemblages of grave goods that show style influences and
artifacts coming from both the Tyrrhenian (Paestum) and the Ionian coast (Metaponto, Heraclea and Taranto). In this paper, we will consider the tombs spanning from the last thirty years of the fourth and the first half of the third century BC, when black-glazed and overpainted
(the so-called “Gnathia-style”) pottery become prevalent among grave goods. The aim of this paper is to gather all the data obtained from these two ceramic classes. For this research, we have conducted chrono-typological analyses of all restored grave goods paired with contextual analyses of their assemblages. The study of these grave goods allowed us to identify the most frequent vessel forms, their use and ritual function within the graves. Furthermore, we tried to identify their provenance through a morphological and decorative analysis of the pieces.
