?:scopeNote
  • These amphorae have most of the standard features of the Dressel 2-4 type: a beaded rim; a pair of tall, bifurcated, vertical handles (though sometimes slightly pointed, in the manner of a Dressel 43 handle); a sharp angle from the shoulder to the straight upper body; and a tapering lower body. Only one solid spike has been found so far. The most distinctive feature is the presence of rows of stabbed perforations on the underside of the handles. It is not certain if these were made deliberately to prevent the handles exploding in the kiln, or if they were made accidentally by formwork that was pinned to the handles during the drying process. One of the neck sherds from Brockley Hill contained the stamp DARESFE. Chemical analysis has revealed that the interior surfaces were sometimes coated with resin, possibly a pine resin derived from Pinus sylvestris L. (Scots Pine). Diameter (rim, external): range, 115-135mm, most commonly approx. 125mm. Diameter (neck): normally approx. 110mm; one example approx. 125mm. Diameter (upper body, maximum): normally approx. 300mm (en)
