My Supplement to Paestan Pottery was already in the press when, in the late summer of 1952, Dr. Sestieri began excavating in the vicinity of the so-called Temple of Poseidon at Paestum. An intensive campaign yielded a very rich harvest of finds, as well as providing clear evidence that the temple itself was part of a Sanctuary to Hera, which included a number of smaller temples and a long row of altars. Among the finds were several complete red-figure vases and an immense number of fragments which, with characteristic generosity, Dr. Sestieri allowed me to examine in detail in the basement of the new museum recently opened on the site. Nearly all of them are Paestan and provide further confirmation for the location of the fabric at Paestum; pending a fuller publication of Sestieri's important discoveries, it seemed advisable to me to give a classified list of the most significant of the new pottery finds as soon as possible, adding a few comments on outstanding pieces.
