Greek - Daunian

Despite the popularity of Greek and later South-Italian Greek figural pottery, Daunian pottery continued its localized production to the end of the 4th century B.C. Daunian ware is more rustic compared to black-glazed and red-figure ware, and is characterized by rounded forms with geometric and linear patterns in earthen tones.

Apulia was divided into four cultural entities - the Greek colony Tarantom as well as areas of Messapia, Peucetia and Daunia. As early as the 6th century B.C., Daunia was an extremely wealthy region, as is evidenced by the rich grave goods from the urban centers of Canosa, Arpi, and Salapia, among other centers.
