Abstract

The aim of the paper is to show the results of the research and the analysys made on 27 amphorae type Dressel 18, Schoene Mau XL, Africana Antica, Dressel 26, Ostia LIX, stored in the warehouse of the “Granai del Foro” at Pompei. The results of our research, based on the combination of archaeological and petrographic data (in collaboration with Claudio Capelli - D.I.S.T.A.V. -Università di Genova) allow us to propose new typological classifications based on the shape, the technical aspects and the fabrics of the amphorae and to suggest new hypothesis on the origin of the Early African Amphorae.
