?:scopeNote
  • This is a comparatively late amphora type with a wide mouth and plain rim. Its neck is short, broad and cylindrical and its handles are small and curved in profile with a clear central finger-groove. The roughly cylindrical body bulges towards the bottom before tapering into a solid spike. The relatively thin-walled body exhibits distinctive rilling from the neck down, though may present a smooth band about a third of the way down the body. The handles are often roughly applied, whilst distortions in the vessels are by no means uncommon, presumably indicating hasty or incautious manufacture. Arthur (1998) and others regard this type as the successor to the wider-bodied Agora form M273. (en)
