Roman Amphora Contents: Reflecting on the Maritime Trade of Foodstuffs in Antiquity (In honour of Miguel Beltrán Lloris). Conclusion
Résumé
One of the important lessons of this congress is the confirmation that in order to advance the research it must be interdisciplinary. In the case of semi-solid or solid products (salted fish, allec, meat, olivae, fruits…) the research will have to be carried out by specialists of amphorae typologies, epigraphy, and the corresponding specialists (ichthyologists or more broadly archaeozoologists, carpologists…). All the studies of the content should be coupled with the analysis of the provenance/origin of the amphorae. This also implies the involvement of specialists (geologists, archaeometrists). Only the combination of provenance and content will allow more accurate investigations of thethemes of use and re-use of amphorae and their original content.
