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.

Van der Werff 1

Amphorae
The general type has a long cylindrical body with two small handles on the side and a flaring rim. Maña (1951) distinguished two types, labelled C1 and C2 but van der Werff (1978) has reviewed the evidence and divided the form into three categories: his Form 1 has a widely flaring rim thickened on the underside and sometimes with a pronounced flange on the outer face of the rim. Handles are attached on the upper third part of the body. The tubular foot is elongated and hollow. This type corresponds to the Martin-Kilcher (1999) forms A1-6 and to the Ramón T-7.4 (1995) type.
