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.

Tripolitanian 1

Amphorae
Tripolitanian amphorae were first identified by Zevi (Zevi & Tchernia, 1969) but the typological differentiation is due to Panella (1973).This type is characterised by a thickened rim which is concave on the outer face, with a fairly high cylindrical or slightly conical neck which forms an angle at his junction with the body. The short thickish handles are attached on the neck and the shoulder. The long cylindrical body ends in a hollow conical spike. Very occasionally stamped on the rim and handle (Peacock & Williams, 1986). More »
