Dressel 28 fabric |
---|
CommentsEquivalent to: BAT AM 3 of the National Roman Fabric Reference Collection (Tomber & Dore, 1998: 85) |
Visual characteristicsAmphorae of this form examined from Britain, and probably from southern France, tend to have a soft, slightly rough fairly fine-textured fabric, pinkish-buff (between 5YR 8/4 to 7.5YR 7/4) in colour. |
PetrologyThere is some variability of fabric no doubt reflecting several different production centres. |
