Abstract:		 The importance of amphorae to the archaeologist lies in their reflection of the large-scale movement of goods, principally foodstuffs, in the ancient world. While many are large, two-handled and with a rounded or spiked foot, there are exceptions to all these rules, and `amphora' is not a typological category, but rather a functional grouping. This paper is a survey of the principal classes of amphorae circulating in Britain during the Roman period (first century BC -- fourth century AD). The form, fabric, sources, contents and dating of each type are described in a series of Atlas Pages, accompanied by a series of computer-generated maps. The Atlas pages can also be accessed through a clickable map, based on the source of the amphoras, through a time-line, showing which types are circulating at any period, a visual index, as well as through a full text search. The supporting data include a bibliography and a database of the distribution of these amphoras in Britain. These pages are based on part of a forthcoming book, Roman Pottery in Britain, to be published by Batsford (London).
