Most Karian wild goat style pottery was found
from the tombs at Damlibogaz, near ancient Mylasa [1].
Although the founds include South Ionain pottery, there are
local wild goat style pottery made after c.600, as well as
local sub-geometric pottery [2]. They preferred
larger patterns for the filling ornaments and echnus-shaped
patterns are distinctive. This style was retained until the
mid sixth century and some vases have style recalls Fikellura
pottery.
Commonest shape is oinochoai with trefoil mouth
and they also produced oinochoai with round mouth, amphorae,
fruit dishes, dinoi and skyphoi. Slip covering the vessels
is brownish. They sometimes used added purple but never used
added white. From the founds, they were probably made at Mylasa,
though there is no reasonable evidence.
