Amphorae from Caska in the Augusto-Tiberian period: imports and local productions?

This article provides preliminary results of the study of amphorae from the Augusto-Tiberian period found on the island of Pag, including amphorae unearthed in a villa rustica in Caska, and three almost complete amphorae found during underwater excavations in Caska bay. Three amphora types can be differentiated: Dressel 6B, Dressel 2-4 and the temporarily so-called “Caska 1” type, that for the moment appears to have been found only in Caska. Two very interesting consular stamps occur on two amphorae and a tegula from the neighboring aqueduct. The majority of amphorae show a very similar clay fabric, which is comparable to the fabric of the Dressel 6B amphorae from the kiln in nearby Novalja. The local production of these ceramic containers could be connected with the maritime trade of the local resources of oil and tuna.
