Description: | Two ceramic amphora sherds of Roman date. One sherd is a handle and the other is a body sherd. The sherds have mildly oxidised buff cores with more oxidised light orange/buff margins and surfaces. The fabric is fairly coarse and sandy. The sherds probably come from a Dressel 20 or similar amphora, which were used to ship olive oil or occasionally preserved olives from southern Spain. These amphorae had large globular bodies and two thick curved handles.
