“…22 for Lisbon). Parallels from shipwreck‐sites include those from the 4th‐century Pampelonne and Chrétienne D wrecks (Lequément, 1976: 186, figs 9.a‐c), while the example from the Planier 7 wreck has a greater maximum diameter relative to its height than our example (Zevi and Tchernia, 1969: 186, Fig. 9.b).…”

Between 2005 and 2009 a deep-water shipwreck was located, mapped, and partially excavated by a joint team from RPM Nautical Foundation and the office of the Soprintendenza del Mare, Sicily. Located off Levanzo Island, one of the Egadi Islands off north-west Sicily, this wrecked merchantman revealed a mixed cargo of foodstuffs, coarseware, glass, and construction materials. The nature of the wreck-site, its cargo, operational date, and find-location indicate its likely association with the annona service which supplied Rome.

“…The Yassıada wreck's cargo comprised eastern Mediterranean amphora types such as Opaiţ 3C, LRA1 variants, as well as a possible Keay 59 variant. An apparent lone find on the Pampelonne wreck near St Tropez, France, dated to the first half of the 4th century, is 460 mm high and 300 mm maximum diameter (Lequément, 1976: 184–5, Fig. 8a).…”

“…They are more elongated pieces that were bent lengthwise over the fishing net, leaving a small opening of not more than 6 mm. For this reason, we would interpret another two lead plaques found in the Pampelonne wreck (Lequément, 1976), a vessel that sank off the south‐eastern coast of France (Saint‐Tropez), as fishing weights rather than lead labels. The cargo consisted of Keay 25.1 and African IIC amphoras from Nabeul dated to between the late 3rd century and early 4th century AD (Bonifay, 2004: 453).…”

“…The plaques were found displaced from their original position, inside an amphora and folded lengthwise. One of them was still rolled around a rope and, although it was interpreted as an amphora label (Lequément, 1976: 187–188, fig. 10), its characteristics lead us to believe that it was a lead weight from a fishing net like that of Carteia (Bernal type PLIX2, 2010: 112–114).…”

The 1970s saw the first publication of a set of lead plaques used as labels on transport vessels found in a shipwreck off Annaba, Algeria. They were wrapped around the handles of several Africana II C2 amphoras and some referred to officinae, probably of salted fish. Labelling merchandise with tesserae plumbeae was common for products such as textiles in the Roman Empire, but considered unusual on amphoras. New finds in the coastal archaeological sites of the villa of Portmán (Spain) and Portimão (Portugal) have led us to reconsider this statement. In this article we discuss these newly discovered lead labels and assess their chronology, use, and rarity in the archaeological record.

“…108 However, pitch has been found on the internal walls of some examples from the Pampelonne wreck (Saint-Tropez), which points to something other than olive-oil being transported in this case. 109 On the face of it, this suggests that wine may also have been carried occasionally. 110 The use of pitch or resin, though, need not always imply that wine was automatically carried in such vessels, as 'solid' commodities such as olives, fish, dates, and figs may also been carried in internally lined amphorae.…”

North African Amphorae in Roman Britain: A Re-Appraisal

By DAVID WILLIAMS and CESAR CARRERAS INTRODUCTION A lmost two decades ago, David Peacock 1 documented for the first time on a systematic basis the presence of North African amphorae in Roman Britain. Since then, additional finds of similar material from recent excavations of Romano-British sites have greatly increased the initial number of examples listed by Peacock, bringing about a more complete picture of these imports. North African amphorae were produced in large numbers in the Roman provinces of Mauretania Tingitana, Mauretania Caesariensis, Numidia, Africa Proconsularis, and Cyrenaica (present-day Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya), covering the period from the first to the seventh centuries A.D. 2 Strictly speaking, they should not be regarded as a homogeneous group, since the term 'North African amphorae' includes a wide variety of forms that were made in widely separated production areas, had different chronologies, and may on occasions have carried different contents. 3 However, the term is nevertheless a useful one, since the majority of these amphora forms share a roughly similar range of fabrics, some of which can be difficult to allocate to a particular production zone within the above mentioned North African coastal strip without detailed analysis. 4 Unfortunately, many of these diverse North African types are only represented on British sites by small non-diagnostic sherds. A consideration of the fabrics involved is often the only means of identifying the general type represented and, possibly, the likely date range, as well as trying to give a more specific location for the origin. The present paper is an attempt to re-evaluate the role of North African amphorae in the economy of Roman Britain, on the basis of new evidence collected since Peacock's initial article. Olive-oil is generally supposed to have been the main content carried in the majority of these vessels. 5 This being the case, it will usefully provide a basis for allowing us to link these North African imports to another olive-oil carrying amphora which is
