Search: [1st century BC] [1st century AD] [2nd century AD]

Origin

Three different regions of Baetica:upper and middle Guadalquivir valley, the Marismas, and the Huelva and coastal region (Carreras Monfort et al., 2005). Some workshops have been recognized in these three areas, but only a few have been excavated completely such as those at Puente Melchor, Hospital de las Cinco Llagas (García Vargas, 2000b) or Pinguele.

Distribution

Fairly widespread in the western Mediterranean and north Atlantic, from Portugal and Spain to Britain, Germany, France, Italy, North Africa and Spain (Carreras Monfort et al. 2005). There is a high concentration of Haltern 70 amphorae in the NW of the Iberian Peninsula around Porto, Bracara Augusta and Vicus (Morais, 1998).

Contents

Amphorae of this type from the Port Vendres Claudian shipwreck bear inscriptions naming the contents as defrutum, a sweet liquid obtained by boiling down must (Colls et alii, 1977; Parker & Price, 1981). However, other painted inscriptions include olives in defructum or muria as possible content (Carreras Monfort et al., 2005). Wine may also another potential content according to the results from the phytolith analyses (Carreras Monfort et al., 2005).
