ROMAN AMPHORAE FROM THE 1989 EXCAVATIONS AT SANDY, BEDFORDSHIRE.
Author(s): D F Williams
An examination of 340 sherds of amphorae resulted in the identification of the following types: Dressel 20 from southern Spain, Pelichet 47 and possibly Gauloise 7 from southern France, and Peacock and Williams, Class 59, in all likelihood from Lyon in France. This suggests that the main amphora-born supplies reaching the settlement consisted of olive-oil and wine, with possibly olives or defrutum in the latter form.
