This study presents the corpus of Attic pinakes from the late seventh to early fourth century. It looks at the iconography of these painted clay votive offerings, at the inscriptions they bear, the locations of their discovery, the cults to which they were dedicated and the social status of the dedicatees. Pinakes are revealed as a primarily archaic phenomenon, with the majority dating to the 6th century.
