Augst 47



Distinctive Features

The Augst 47 type (and variants) consists of smaller and more delicate transportation containers of only a few litres capacity (Martin-Kilcher, 1994: 436-7). The cylindrical neck is quite broad in relation to the overall size of the amphora; the handles rise vertically from the shoulder, turning inwards at right angles to join the neck just below the plain, rounded rim. The body tapers gradually down to a point, and exhibits horizontal rilling. The overall rilling and general shape of the vessel recalls the larger Peacock & Williams Class 65.
