      ab: This article publishes a votive deposit, located near the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea, which was excavated in 1925. The votive deposit consists predominantly of Corinthian miniature pottery, but it also contained Argive, Attic, and local wares. The occurrence of Corinthian miniature offering trays, and other shapes, may suggest that Demeter was the recipient of the cult, but without preserved inscriptions we cannot know for certain who was worshipped here. Nevertheless, the study of this material represents a significant contribution to the scattered evidence for cult in the area and attests to the presence of an important Archaic rural shrine in the vicinity of the Sanctuary of Zeus.
