Distinctive Features

This form of this type derives from a Punic tradition. It was first noted at the end of the 1990’s on several sites around the northern Hammamet Gulf (Bonifay, 2004a). It is a tall amphora with rounded handles attached to the shoulder. On this type the handles have a single deep median groove. It has a thickened rim with five variants from a hocked rim (A) to a squared rim (E). The neck is more conical than is the case with Hammamet 1 and it also has a wider cylindrical body. The foot is cone shaped, hollow on variants A-C, solid on variants D-E.
