Keay 61C



Distinctive Features

These two types Keay 61C and 62 variation, defined by Keay (1984; 1998) and Bonifay (1986), should be treated jointly, as they are comparable from both a morphological and fabric point of view (Bonifay, 2004).

Type Keay 62 var. (Bonifay, 1986, Fig. 12.55) : This form has a cylindrical, slightly globular body, narrow neck and cup-shaped rim with an inner thickened lip.

Type Keay 61 : This is a taller and more slender amphora, with a narrow neck and a simple almond-shaped everted rim.

Both types have short bowed handles, elliptical in section, and a pulley-shaped foot. Complete examples have been recovered from Marseille (Type Keay 62 var. Bonifay, 1986: Fig. 12.55) and Arles (Type Keay 61C) (Bonifay, 2004).

Minimum height: 105cm (type Keay 62 var. Bonifay, 1986: Fig. 12.55); 111cm (Type Keay 61C)
Minimum width: 35cm (type Keay 62 var. Bonifay, 1986: Fig. 12.55); 37cm (Type Keay 61C)
