Need help identifying and describing pieces of ancient Greek pottery
Post Body

Hey Reddit! I apologize if I posted this in the wrong place, but I am looking for some help identifying and describing five sherds of pottery.

Pictures of the five sherds are here: http://imgur.com/a/yKJOP

What I already know:

Picture 1 is a red figure sherd. I cannot tell what the image is depicting...my eyes just won't let me see it. You can see a higher resolution shot in picture 4.

Picture 2 and 3: The figures are from the orientalizing and geometric period respectively. I cannot gauge much else from it.

Pictures 6-9 & 11 are from a sherd which I am having trouble identifying. The incisions made me think it was late neolithic period, but the prof said no.

Picture 10 is the other sherd I am having trouble identifying. It looks similar to pottery from protoattic and protocorinthian pottery during the geometric period.

This is not my specialty as I am computer science and economics major, any assistance pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
