Depata have been spreaded in a wide geography includes Eastern Aegean Islands, Mainland Greece, Cyclades, Southeastern Europe, Syria as well as Anatolia properly. It’s observed that depas amphykipellon, a well known western Anatolian vessel form produced at least three different regions through their distinctive features. Although there have been a considerable increase in the number of depas due to the increase of investigations that carried out in the last decade.
