African amphorae in Bosporos (Kerch)

The archaeological excavations in Bosporos Lane in the town of Kerch conducted in 2007-2009 revealed fragments of African amphorae that were continuously supplied to the town of Bosporus from the first half of the 5th century to the first half of the 6th century. The imported amphorae came from two main centers (almost 40 %), i. e. the workshops in the south of the Byzacena province (Majoura and Iunca) (Keay 8B) and the Sidi Zahruni workshop near the town of Nabeul in the Zeugitana province (spatheion 1, Keay 55А, Keay 57В and some others).
