Abstract: |
Identification of imported amphorae and red slip ware suggesting pre-Roman, Roman and post-Roman occupation on the site. Amongst the amphorae sherds present are the Italian wine carrier Dressel 1, which probably arrived sometime during the first century B.C., and the Spanish olive-oil form Dressel 20, which could have arrived anytime from the Late Iron Age to the 3rd century A.D. There are also some amphorae types which suggest a Late Roman and/or a post-Roman date for the site. These forms are represented by sherds of British B iv, B i and B ii amphorae, all from an Eastern Mediterranean source. A sherd of fine red slip ware may be Phocaean ware (Late Roman C), suggesting a date soon after c. 500 A.D. |
