La fouille des entrepôts situés à l'est de la maison des dieux Océans a révélé l'existence de dépôts d'amphores, datables des IIe et IIIe s. et constitués pour l'essentiel de Dressel 2/4 dont l'origine italique a été confirmée par des analyses physico-chimiques. Plusieurs groupes de composition sont représentés dont l'un est attribuable à la région du Vésuve. La chronologie de ces dépôts soulève la question de l'arrêt des productions de Dressel 2/4 en Italie et de leur diffusion. Même si l'on admet qu'une partie du matériel est résiduel, ces dépôts constituent un témoin particulièrement intéressant de la diffusion du vin d'Italie en Gaule et notamment du vin du Vésuve après 79 de notre ère.

The flast-bades amphora with a bandeau-shaped rim, produced in Marseille from the beginning of the Augustan era onwards, has been rather widely distributed in the Rhône valley and farther north, along the Rhone-Rhine axis. The author describes the sites of Vienne and Lyons which have yielded a comparatively large number of specimina in a well-defined chronological context. He discusses the technical and morphological characteristics of the product and the fact that other forms of containers can be ascribed to the same Massaliote factories, although in much smaller quantities (Dressel 2/4 and Pascual 1).

The study of the production of Loyasse proves that contrary to what was suggested before, it is indeed a workshop of italic tradition and that its distribution is more important that it was supposed. Conversely, the material found in the excavations of la Muette doesn't correspond to the great period of the distribution of the workshops of Lyon on the Limes. The recent discoveries show narrow links beetween the workshops of Vienne and these of Lyon, which is testified by the transfer of terra sigillata moulds and of Aco-beakers. They also bring to the fore the existence of a workshop of sigillata in Vienne. As to the Ateivs's workshop, nothing new has been found and it could be localized in Vienne or in Lyon. About the distribution of the workshops of Lyon, it doesn't only concern the military sites of the Limes but the West and the North of Gaul as well. As to the end of the production of terra sigillata, it could be due to the shortage of fuel.

A branded fir stopper was founded in the neck of an amphora of the 1st century, in the river Saône, in Lyons. This stopper is to be seen as a barrel stopper which had been reused. This discovery gives an important clue for the file which combines two complementary topics : the contents of the amphorae made in Lyons and the use of the barrel in the trade of the 1st and 2nd century. The name Uritti(us) branded on this stopper must be connected to the comtemporary prints on Betican oil-amphorae; it suggests that the Lyons amphorae should have contained hispanics products imported in bulk as the inscriptions "muria hispana" or "garum hispanum" painted on some of them, suggested it already. A critical study of archaeological data about the barrel leads to a revision of the idea which was mostly based upon iconography, and according to which this container starts to play an important part from the 3rd century only. But it shows that the barrel plays a prominent part in the ancient trade as early as the 1st century.
