Distinctive FeaturesThis type has a straight mouth, with a thick external band, a heavy cylindrical neck (10-15 cms diameter) around 12-20 cm long, flattened handles which have a median furrow groove on the external face and an ovoid body. The spike is 15-20 cms long, hollow. It can be ascribed to the broader Dressel 7-11 and Beltrán 1 groupings (García Vargas, 1998).See characteristics | ||

OriginThis type was produced in a myriad of workshops such as Gallineras, El Rinconcillo and Cerro del Mar in the coastal areas of southern Spain (Cádiz and Málaga provinces) (Beltrán Lloris, 1970; Lagóstena Barrios, 1996; García Vargas, 1998). Production has also been attested along the west coast of Morocco at Khédis and Sala, as well as at Volubilis (Arharbi & Naji, 2004).Workshops in the modern province of Cádiz: Loma del Puerco, El Fontanar (Chiclana de l Frontera); El Olivar (Chipiona); Buenavista, Cantarranas, Casa de la Vicuña, La China, La Florida, Hijuela del Tío Prieto, Molino Platero, Los Sáuces (El Puerto de Santa María); El Almendral, La Cabaña I, La Cachucha, Cantera Lavalle I y II, Las Canteras, El Carpio Chico, Casines, Olivar de los Valencianos, Puente Melchor, Torrealta A y B, El Gallinero (Puerto Real), Cerro de los Mártires, Gallineras (San Fernando).

ContentsTituli picti suggests several types of fish-sauce, like gari flos (CIL. XV, 4699), gari scombri (CIL. XV, 4710), liquamen (CIL. XV,4713), muriae flos (CIL. XV, 4722), muria arguta excellens flos (CIL. XV, 4723); perhaps also cordyla arguta (CIL. XV, 4732) and cordyla arguta vetus penuaria (CIL. XV, 4741). The diversity of the contents recorded can be due to the difficulties in differentiating this form within the broader amphora family of the Dressel 7-11.Search: [Fish Sauce] | ||
