Esta breve nota pretende dar a conocer la identificación de un ánfora del tipo Torone VII en aguas del entorno de La Caleta, al noroeste de la actual ciudad de Cádiz. Se trata de un tipo de contenedor de transporte que se fabricó en significativas cantidades en e...
The Baetican Dressel 20 is probably the most widely diffused amphora of the Roman period, found in large quantities throughout all the Roman and nearby territories. It is the most powerful evidence of the importance of the olive oil trade for Roman society and of olive oil's extraordinary production in the Baetican countryside. This wide diffusion...
Las fases tardorrepublicana y tempranoaugústea son de máxima trascendencia para entender el aumento exponencial de las exportaciones de aceite bético en época altoimperial. El inicio del fenómeno del intenso sellado de las ánforas olearias también se genera en esas etapas iniciales. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar en profundidad la producci...
Reseña de Joanita Vroom (ed.) Feeding the Byzantine City. The Archaeology of Consumption in the Eastern Mediterranean (Ca. 500-1500), Turnhout, Brepols 2023, 350 pp. [ISBN: 9782503605661]
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of a unique pit infill from Room 12a of Residential Unit 5 in Terrace House 2 at the Roman city of Ephesos. Measuring 2.2 x 1.3 m with a 0.5 m depth, the pit contained approximately 1.43 m³ of material deposited during a single event in the early Roman Imperial period. The fill comprised a rich and diver...
The production of amphorae and the export of commodities transported in them was a key activity for the Mediterranean world in Antiquity. Consequently, their study is of enormous value for analysing the agricultural and fishing economy, and also the commercial mechanism of that period. Through the typological and chronological analysis of these cer...
In 2004, excavations in Dwelling Unit 5 (WE5) of Terrace House 2 (HH2) in Ephesus unearthed a large flat pit beneath room 12a, partially dug into the bedrock. The pit had been filled in the mid-1st c. CE and was later sealed by a mosaic floor. Its filling lacks stratification and, together with the narrow temporal range of the ceramics found therei...
Amphorae can provide important archaeological evidence about the cultural and economic relationships between the different populations of Antiquity. This is so because some types of amphora may be ascribed to a geographically specific origin and consequently, each product can be associated with a different cultural background. This presentation foc...
In 2012, two of the authors conducted research in the amphora collection of the National Museum of Roman Art ( Museo Nacional de Arte Romano/MNAR) in Mérida (Spain). Their attention was attracted by one of the museum's finds. It was an almost complete Beltrán 72 amphora, the fabric of which showed its production place to have been within the Cadiz...
La Caleta de Cádiz ha sido objeto de atención desde hace décadas como parte de la red portuaria de la ciudad de Gadir/Gades, aportando interesantes datos de la circulación de productos envasados en ánforas a partir del estudio de un heterogéneo grupo de materiales recuperados en actuaciones sistemáticas o formando parte de colecciones de museos. El...
Recent underwater archaeological surveys (2008-2010) carried out in La Caleta area brought to light interesting material from different historical phases of the Bay of Cadiz. Some small amphorae produced in the Hinterland of Ephesus are studied in this paper, all of them found in La Caleta, as first evidence of imports from the Aegean metropolis in...
Gaditan scomber in Ephesos. A new Dressel 12 with titulus found in the “terrace house 2” at Ephesos
The baetican fish products were exported around the whole Roman world, their traffic reaching its highest level around the 1st century A.D. In this period we can find Baetican fish amphorae from the Levant up to the British islands. Ephesus, one of t...
The baetican fish products were exported around the whole Roman world, their traffic reaching its highest level around the 1st century A.D. In this period we can find Baetican fish amphorae from the Levant up to the British islands. Ephesus, one of the richest cities in Antiquity, was not an exception, and the arrival of these products there is con...
Current research trends on the material culture in the province of Hispania Ulterior in the late republic and the early years of the Augustean reign, make any systematisation of amphorae in the Guadalquivir valley (in a wide sense) liable to be soon superseded by new finds and evidence. The present work aims at reviewing the state of the question o...
Este artículo supone un intento para empezar a sentar bases, donde se apoyen futuras investigaciones referentes al estudio de las relaciones interprovinciales entre el área Hispana y las provincias del noroeste del Imperio romano, a lo largo del mal conocido periodo de la Antigüedad tardía. El objeto principal de estudio son aquellas ánforas, que f...
