Abstract:
The present work consists on asystematization of all the figlinae amphorales of the eastern coast of the Provincia Hispania Citerior (2nd BC - 3rd AD) from an interdisciplinary point of view, analyzing the three most important aspects: description and analysis of the producing structures, the catalogue of epigraphic stamps and dispersal patterns in the western Mediterranean and, finally, the typological characterization of its amphora productions. It is, therefore, the first work of this magnitude in studies related to tarraconensis amphorae. Also, and thanks to the application of new methodologies based on photogrammetric survey techniques, as well as computation and three-dimensional modeling, we have been able to create a morphological database of the main tarraconensian amphora productions. This has allowed us to create, for the first time in the history of the research, an extensive and detailed typological table of the most common containers (Dressel 2, Dressel 3 and Pascual 1), which collects the various pottery traditions present in the different producing areas that make up the eastern coast of the Provincia Hispania Citerior in Roman times.
