Greco-Italic Amphorae from the Punta Romana Shipwreck (Sardinia – Italy)

Anotace: The remains of the amphorae cargo wrecked close to Punta Romana (Capo Ferrato – Sardinia) has been analyzed through archaeological comparison with well-known typologies, and also by mineralogic, petrographic and chemical analyses in order to ascertain the provenance of the ceramics. The fragments have been identified as Greco-Italic amphorae types MGS III and MGS III–IV produced in the Ischia and Campania kilns in the 4th–3rd century BC. SEM-EDS analyses confirmed the origin from the Campania region, while petrography and XRD analyses allowed two different production areas of the shipwreck cargo to be ascertained, namely: the Lacco Ameno furnaces on the island of Ischia; and the furnaces operating in the Capua district.
