Abstract:		 Ninety broken amphorae sherds were examined from the Chieftain's Burial Pit at Folly Lane, which is closely dated to around AD 50. These appear to represent a minimum of 4--6 vessels, all of them belonging to the Dressel 2--4 wine amphora type and all Italian in origin, probably from the Tyrrhenian coast. It is interesting to note that some ten years later Italian wine imports seem to have been noticeably reduced, for over half of the 44 Dressel 2--4 types present at the nearby site of Sheepen were non-Italian in origin. An identification was also made of 1,582 amphorae sherds from other sites in St. Albans of variable date. The Baetican olive-oil container Dressel 20 accounts for well over 90% of weight and count of these sherds, with a small number of French and Italian wine amphorae and a few sherds from a late Roman Palestinian form.
