AMPHORAE FROM YORK.
Author(s): D F Williams
Examination and identification of some 2,500 amphorae sherds from several sites in York: Ebor Brewery, Tanner Row/General Accident, Blake Street/City Garage, Bishop- hill Senior, Skelergate, Rougier Street, Bedern, Copper-gate, Interval Tower SW5/Museum Chambers, Lendal, Coney Street/W.H Smiths and Clementhorpe. The southern Spanish olive-oil amphora Dressel 20 and the southern French wine amphora Pelichet 47 dominate the amphorae assemblage from York. Also noted were small amounts of Dressel 2-4, North African cylindricals, sothern Spanishfish-produce vessels, Rhodian style, Hollow Foot, Carrottype and possibly Biv. The wide range of different amphora types clearly shows the variety of goods that reached York from widely spaced regions of the Roman Empire.
