Biv. Of particular interest was the large amount of Gallic wine that was imported to the site. Also the potentially early and late dates of some of the forms present. Dressel 1- Pascual 1 is normally associated with pre-conquest Iron Age sites, while North African cylindricals seem mainly to have been imported during the late Roman period.
