According to the Macmillan English Dictionary a cautionary tale comprises a series of events during which something bad happens that then can be used as a warning for the prevention of unfortunate events in the future. While my presentation is not intended to label as "unfortunate" some popular directions that have been taken over the course of the last two centuries in the study of Greek figurative terracottas, it is hoped that it will provide some guidance in the avoidance of future misdirection when interpreting coroplastic material. Most important in this regard is an awareness that past scholarship and current interpretations must be used critically, and that the researcher must be willing to look beneath the veneer of an argument to its core to determine its soundness. With each study that contributes to conclusions I would advise asking its author a simple question: "How do you know that?"
Les Carnets de l'ACoSt, 2019
In the study of Greek figurative terracottas there are many pitfalls that have resulted from out-dated notions that continue to influence coroplastic scholarship. The young researcher, in particular, must be attentive to the sources of an argument and employ critical judgement in order to avoid misdirection when interpreting coroplastic material.

Summary of the chapter devoted to the identification and function of the main iconographic types of terracotta from Archaic Greece in the collective work edited by J. Barringer and F. Lissarrague. The identification as mortals of the figurines of enthroned women, korai, banqueters, kouroi, but also of the protomes, gives them a coherent function in the main contexts of their discovery, the sanctuary and the grave.

The first two Deliciae Fictiles conferences, which came out in 1993 and 1996, were some of the most important contributions to our understanding of central Italy, and were transformative moments. 1 They were also pioneering, and to see, now, such a rich set of papers and so many scholars driving this field of study forwards is a testimony to the work of those early volumes and those who brought them into being.

This volume emerged from the conference "Hellenistic and Roman Terracottas: Mediterranean Networks and Cyprus" held in Nicosia/Cyprus in 2013 and presents recent discoveries, old museum collections and innovative methodological approaches to the study of Hellenistic and Roman terracottas. The 29 papers are divided into five geographical parts: Cyprus; Greece and Asia Minor; Italy; North Africa; the Levant and Mesopotamia. Some essays present material studies from a single site while others provide general overviews and iconographic studies. The latter group do not fall within any of the volume's geographical headings, and are curiously assigned to "Greece and Asia Minor".

Published abstract of a poster which was presented at the International Conference in Izmir (June 2007), but remained unpublished. This was meant to be a preliminary study of the terra-cotta figurines from the Sanctuary of Demeter studied in comparison to the archaic-hellenistic Sanctuary of the "Middle Terrace", both in the town of Kythnos (Cyclades).
