Wine consumption in the Kvarner and Sub-Velebit area (NE Adriatic) in the last centuries BCE: evidence from amphora finds

The paper presents an overview of Greco-Italic and Lamboglia 2 amphorae finds from the north- eastern Adriatic (Kvarner gulf and sub-Velebit coastal area with adjacent islands). Underwater finds, known from published surveys and excavations, have been compared to new occurrences on land sites in order to provide a full overview of the presence of these amphorae in the research area. As a widespread occurrence of these vessels on hillfort sites has been recorded by recent research, it can now be connected with consumption of amphorae- borne commodities, primarily wine, by the local population, marking a shift in cultural practices, but perhaps also in trade patterns. In fact, as amphorae transport within the area has sometimes been interpreted as sporadic and unintentional, new finds on land sites indicate that the Kvarner was inserted in the last centuries BCE foodstuffs trade as a receptive region as well.
