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. IANSA 2016 ● VII/2 ● 179–187 Loredana Carratoni, Martina Iezzi, Constantino Meucci: Greco-Italic Amphorae from the Punta Romana Shipwreck (Sardinia – Italy) 180 container used between the 4th and 2nd century BC for the commerce of wine in the Mediterranean area, as confirmed by a synthetic analysis on the diffusion of the Greco-Italic amphorae in the Mediterranean basin made by Rossi (2000) with particular reference to finds recovered during the excavation of the Ancient Harbour of Pisa. As reported by Long (1987), Greco-Italic amphorae of the Grand Congloué shipwreck can be dated back to between the end of the 3rd and start of the 2nd century BC. The same dating is proposed by Costantini (2011) for fragments recovered in the excavations of Piazza Duomo in Pisa, although the production of this peculiar typology of amphorae started in the 4th century BC. However, the profile of the rim of the amphorae from the latter two sites differs from that of the fragments collected in the Capo Ferrato site (Figure 3) owing to the different inclination of the lip. According to several authors, the shape of the Greco Italic amphorae modified over time owing to their different areas of production as well as their dating. The most evident modifications involved both the rim profile and the base, while the body shape is quite invariant (Py at al. 2001). An overview of the archaeological questions related to these materials was provided by Olcese (2007) and the most important ones are connected to the identification of their origin (Greece or Greek colonies of the south of Italy) and the localization of the production centres of this typology Figure 1.
