Synopsis

This handbook to the Late Roman Amphora 1 (LRA1) is a publication of the Levantine Ceramics Project (https://www.levantineceramics.org/), an open-access resource for the study of Levantine pottery, its societies, cultures, and economies, from the Neolithic era (ca. 5500 BCE) until today. For four hundred years (fourth–seventh centuries), the LRA1 served as both agent and symbol of the deeply entwined, far-flung economic network of the later Roman and Byzantine worlds. The handbook offers an up-to-date overview and user-friendly identification guide to known production sites, petrographic data, and current information on distribution, which stretches from Scotland and Wales to Yemen and India.
