Ceramic vases - Pointed bottom amphoras

They were used in the transportation and storage of wine, olive oil, grain, etc. Amphoras in a shipwreck can often tell the age and nationality of the wreck.The pointed or knobbed bottoms and oblong shapes permitted the amphorae to be closely packed, or stacked, in the holds of ships, with matting placed between the amphorae to prevent breakage.
