Un atelier rural inédit d’amphores à huile augusto-tibériennes

Abstract

The discovery of an original Baetican oil amphora workshop in a plateau area on the left bank of the Guadalquivir, between Palma del Río and Cordoba, marks a crucial stage in the new research conducted since 2013 on the issues of these production centres. The workshop in Fuente de los Peces, which dates from the Augustan period, has also delivered several copies of the two oldest known stamps on amphora Dr. 20, as well as the testimonies of a local manufacture of amphorae of Iberian tradition. After having presented in detail the material elements collected by field surveys, the authors question the contributions of this discovery to the location of the first oil amphora workshops and discuss the origin and status of the founder of this workshop, associated with a vast rural settlement.
