Distinctive Features

This type was firstly identified by van der Werff (1982) and is now illustrated by a complete example (Bonifay, 2004). The amphora is characterised by a thickened rim, moulded "en doucine" on the outer face, a cylindrical neck slightly everted towards the top, large handles rounded in section and in profile, a wide cylindrical body terminated by an elongated tubular hollow spike.
