Imitaţie heracleană după un cunoscut tip de amforă sinopeană. Amforă de tip "Carrot"

  • Subiect: It is well known that ceramic material litter archaeological sites of all kinds. Consequently, it provides us not only with a lot of information on the nature of the site and its chronology, but also with knowledge about the social, cultural and economic life of that site. Among ceramic categories brought to light by archaeological excavations, amphora is one of the most complex artefacts that help us understand better and profoundly the ancient societies. During the last forty years, amphora studies made considerably progress as they revealed variations not only in the form but also in the clay fabric of these containers. If this progress is more visible in the western part of the Mediterranean, it is less advanced in the eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea areas. The aim of this paper is to improve the typology of Pontic amphorae by presenting a brief morphologic and fabric definition of a less known amphora type that imitates a famous Sinopean container. This wine amphora was manufactured during the last quarter of the 4th and the first half of the 5th centuries AD. Although discoveries of this type of amphora are not very abundant, limited quantities occur not only in the northern and western parts of the Black Sea but also in the eastern Mediterranean at Athens and Palestine.
