Abstract
This study considers a collection of four diverse amphorae recently acquired by
the Macquarie University Museum of Ancient Cultures. Upon commencing, these
ceramic vessels bore no information regarding distribution or contents and were
largely unanalyzed and unpublished. This paper seeks to determine what they can
reveal through a detailed study of their origins, provenance, principal contents, and
potential distribution. It is hoped that this information will aid in the analysis of
larger trade networks for these amphora types along with their role in the economies
of the ancient Mediterranean.
