Terracotta Figurines from the Artemis Laphria Sanctuary at Kalydon, Aitolia: An Introductory Report

Abstract

This brief report is an introduction to the study of the terracotta figurines from the sanctuary of Artemis Laphria in Kalydon, Aitolia, that is being carried out by me. Although quantifications cannot be made at the current stage of research, some types are found in greater numbers than others, as in the standing kore type, protomai, and figurines of animals and fruit. A few examples of these types are presented here.
