Um conjunto de ânforas recuperadas nos dragados da foz do rio Arade, Algarve

The authors study here a group of Lusitanian, Italic, Punic, Baetican, Gaulish and African amphorae, recovered in 1973 and 1983 in non-systematic collections, during the dredgings of the river Arade in the Algarve. From the statistical representation of the various types of amphorae, it is concluded that they were not only containers for local production or consumption, but that at the mouth of the Arade there was a relatively important port (Portus Hannibalis) and that some of the amphorae came from the remains of Roman shipwrecks.
