Recent research on assemblages of Republican amphorae from France has greatly altered our understanding of the wine trade during the Late Iron Age. However, much of this work, and its implications, are not well known in Britain and this paper aims to disseminate this information by examining the latest evidence concerning the dating and distribution of Republican amphorae (Dressel 1, Lamboglia 2, Brindisi and Republican Ovoid amphorae) in France during the Late Iron Age. In total 1975 findspots of Republican amphorae have been recorded. This includes a significant number of GrecoItalic findspots that testify to an important phase of amphora importation to non-Mediterranean France that possibly started as early as the late third or early second century BC. Parts of southern and central France received an exceptional quantity of Republican amphorae.

This paper aims to summarize current research on the chronology, provenance and deposition of Italian wine amphorae and associated material culture (ceramics and metal vessels) in Gaul from the second to the end of the first century BC. Recent studies have linked the consumption of imported wine in Gaul with the elite and/or a warrior class who organized great feasts in enclosures and sanctuaries. Instead, it will be suggested that access to wine in parts of central eastern France at least was relatively open while in some cases wine was being drunk by individuals involved in various industrial activities.The last 20 years have seen a profusion of studies exploring various aspects of eating, drinking and feasting during prehistory (Arnold

Previous studies have contended that the distribution of amphorae in Late Iron age Gaul was late, low, and elitist. Detailed analysis of the wealth of finds in the Auvergne region has suggested that none of these propositions is true. Amphorae are found on all types of sites here, from times beginning as early as the second century BC, often in great quantity. One must conclude therefore that the influx of these imports was not due to the later Roman annexation ofGallia Transalpina, and that the possession of amphorae was not an elite prerogative, at least not until after the Conquest when they became considerably scarcer. The picture seems to be of a polity with firm international connections and one principal distribution area.
