4.4.2 Amphorae in Coarseware 1: Etruscan amphorae

Description

This is the same fabric as coarseware 1 used for many different types of vessels. The use of this fabric, which was probably produced at a large number of sites, suggests that amphorae were made for local use as well as for transport purposes.
