Site name Description
Nizy-le-Comte Bendredjeb illustrates two jars of form C262, described as `pâte grossière, rouge à dégraissant calcaire' (fabric MI 4) - this may be a reference to the feldspars in TF1. The type is here given a Tiberio-Claudian date.
Villeneuve-Saint-Germain There is one example of a large jar of our class 1, apparently in a dark coloured, heavily micaceous fabric, from this site. (Site reference number : VSG 82.411. The vessel has not been examined and its identification as TF1 awaits confirmation.) Fleury (1986, fig.3) records Dressel 1a and 1b amphoras from the Villeneuve-Saint-Germain (the latter the more common) but occupation apparently closes before the appearance of samian and other classes of Augustan fine wares. A provisional terminus ante quem of c.|30/20|BC may be proposed.
