Summary/Abstract: The beginning of research into Rhodian stamped amphora handles dates back to the transitional period between the 19th and 20th centuries. The first decades of work on this group of objects led to the drawing of some important conclusions. The most important of these was the establishment of a chronology, mainly based on the names of officials and fabricants of pottery, both of whom appeared on stamp inscriptions. As the results of this work represent the foundation on which contemporary researchers still work (although they have made a series of significant alterations over the course of the last 20 years), I will briefly summarise what occurred during that period in the first part of this article.
