A LATE ROMAN AMPHORA SHERD FROM ST ALBANS, HERTFORDSHIRE

Author(s): D F Williams

A small amphora sherd was examined from late Roman deposits in the centre of Verulaminum. Due to the small size of the sherd it is difficult to be certain of the form of the vessel, but it may well be Almagro 54, thought to have been made in Palestine between the fourth century A.D. and the sixth century. This type is fairly scarce in Britain, and it represents the first late, eastern Mediterranean amphora to be found at Verulamium.
