Ceramic Types

The ArchAIDE knowledge-base is a collection of search and retrieval tools that allows accessing the project reference database for types, decorations and stamps. Up to now, the knowledge-base contains types related to Terra Sigillata Italica, Hispanica, South Gaulish, and Roman Amphorae.
Inserting a simple keyword in the search browser allows searching in all the text fields that describe each type. Clicking on the “Advanced” button, a complete form appears allowing to filter the results by all the relevant features of the specific entity. Clicking on the results allows complete access to all the information stored about a single type: description, chronology, origins and occurs, images, 3D models, references, equivalences.

ArchAIDE Types

Dressel 1

Amphorae

This was the most common type of late Republican Roman amphora. Following an early classificatory scheme by Lamboglia (1955), the type is conventionally sub-divided into three sub-types, known as the Dressel 1A, 1B and 1C, which are still used today. These sub-types are distinguished largely on the basis of differences in the shape of the rim (discussed critically by Tchernia, 1986: 312-20). The Dressel 1A has a pronounced triangular rim, often quite difficult to distinguish from the rim of the Greco-Italic type; the rim of the Dressel 1B has a thick near vertical collar rim; the rim of the Dressel 1C takes the form of a narrow mouth and a high collar, which flares outwards in the earlier versions, and which Will (1982) suggests is directly derived from her Greco-Italic form Will 1E. There are few significant differences in the shape of the bodies of these three sub-types although those of the Dressel 1A and B tend to be heavier and more cylindrical while that of the Dressel 1C tends to be more spindle-like. Furthermore, the neck of the Dressel 1C tends to be wider at the bottom closer to its junction with the shoulder. A broad scheme to distinguish between the varieties of Dressel 1A and 1B handles and spikes has been suggested by Stockli (1979), based mainly on the size of these features, but its practical use is perhaps doubtful given the nuances of form which are sometimes apparent in the general class of Dressel 1 amphora. The Dressel 1 is sometimes stamped on the rim and very occasionally on the neck. Where present, the stamp normally consists of two or three letters, sometimes more, or a symbol (such as an anchor or trident) or both. Alphabetical symbols were used in the ager cosanus, particularly at the kiln at Albinia, while elsewhere the stamps are quite often in the form of names (e.g. Sestius). More »

Periodo: The Dressel 1A evolved from Greco-Italic types, perhaps directly from Will type 1C and 1D (1982) and Tchernia (1983; 1986) suggests c. 140/130 BC as the transition date. The form persisted through to about the middle of the first century BC (Peacock, 1971; 1977c; Tchernia, 1986). The Dressel 1B was produced between the last quarter of the second until the last decade of the first century BC (Peacock, 1971; 1977c; Long, 1987; Hesnard et alii, 1989). The Dressel 1C was manufactured between the late second to the second quarter of the first century BC (Lamboglia, 1955; Beltrán Lloris, 1970; Will, 1979; 1987a). More »
