The amphora-type known as Richborough 527 is clearly enigmatic,
occurring all the way from southern Italy and Sicily to Britain,
but mostly occurring either as single examples or as
considerable groups. This paper announces the discovery of such
a considerable group at Cavaillon; a second such group, not yet
published, has recently been found at Frejus (pers comm, F
Laubenheimer - this group post-dates the first paper in
Laubenheimer 1992, entry no. 1222); the writers mention other
unpublished groups at Nîmes and in southern Italy (Williams
& Arthur 1991). The vessels from Cavaillon are initially
called 'rilled' amphorae (amphores cannelées), and it is
clear that the form is not especially homogeneous. Indeed, the
writers divide the type into two main categories, each with
two sub-groups, plus a further group of variants. The
differences are quite substantial, with some examples in their
Group la having a neck and handles bearing some resemblance to a
Dr 2-4, while at another extremity a variant from Vannes clearly
has some affinity with a Dr 21-22 (such an affinity is also
discussed in terms of possible contents). There is an appendix
by K Knowles (Dept of Archaeology, University of Southampton),
which reports on three Cavaillon samples submitted for
petrological analysis: "In conclusion, the evidence
suggests that the first sherd... originates from the same area
as Richborough 527 amphorae. The two other sherds... appear to
be Italian. However, all three sherds examined in thin section
are different from one another and all seem to be from a
different source". The third analysed sample was from a Dr
2-4 found at Cavaillon, which had a circular stamp, PVBL,
apparently identical to a stamp found on a Richborough 527 from
the same site. Whilst recognising that this first attempt at a
global typology for the latter form must be somewhat tentative
for the moment, the writers conclude that the amphorae in
question, whatever their differences in fabric and form,
constitute a "family" of vessels with a number of
aspects in common.

This is a collection of twenty-one papers presented at a Round
Table held at Metz on October 4th-6th, 1990. These probably all
deserve separate Bibliography entries, but for JRPS 5 there
is space and time only for the following summary of titles (with
the exception of the paper by A P Fitzpatrick, which we include
as entry no. 1223): The volume is divided into three sections,
entitled 'Production, new evidence', "The distribution of
amphorae', and 'Databanks and analyses', and the first two of
these are followed by sections of general debate (tape-recorded
at the meeting), on pp 113-5 and 207-218, respectively. A number

papers are also followed by
transcripts of the discussions which followed their
presentation. Laubenheimer, F, with Gébara, C & Béraud, I,
'Production d'amphores a Fréjus', 15-24. With an appendix by M
Picon. See also entry no. 1220, and the second paper by the same
authors in the same volume, below. A considerable range of types
was produced at Fréjus, including a Dr 16 found at Winchester
Palace in London, with painted inscription indicating that it
contained wine (Liquamen Excellens) from Antibes - but
the analyses by M Picon show the vessel was probably made at Fréjus.
Meffre, J-C & P, 'L'atelier
augustéen d'amphores et de céramiques de Sainte-Cécile-les
Vignes (Vaucluse)', 25-35. Situated between Orange and Vaison-la-Romaine,
this site produced imitations of Dr 2-4 and of Pascual 1, and
Gauloise 2 and Gauloise 10 amphorae.
Dangréaux, B, Desbat, A, Picon, M & Schmitt,
A, 'La production d'amphores à Lyon', 37-50. With an appendix
on scientific analyses. This is an updating of JRPS 4,

Martin-Kilcher, S, 'La fabrication d'amphores
vinaires Dressel 2-4 a Augusta Rauricorum (Augst, Suisse) et le
début de la viticulture au Nord des Alpes', 51-8. Augst
produced its own versions of Dr 2-4, not dissimilar from those
made at Mougon (Indre-et-Loire) and at Brockley Hill.
Baudoux, J, 'Production d'amphores dans 1'Est de la
Gaule', 59-69. Several East Gaulish production centres,
including Rheinzabern, seem to have produced either imitations
of Dr 20 amphorae, globular Dr 20-like amphorae with flat
bottoms, or Gaulish-type amphorae. The Rheinzabern Dr 20
imitations are stamped with names which also appear on samian
from the site
This paper provoked a lengthy discussion on the
organisation of pottery workshops in Gaul. Schallmayer, E,
'Production d'amphores en Germanie Supérieure?', 71-4. Similar
types to those of the previous paper, Walldurn, on the limes.
