Typology Dolia
Description Simple open bowls are probably the commonest type in the Amplepuis assemblage, but there are also numbers of necked jars. Some are plain with one or more rows of simple marks at the shoulder but others feature more complex decorative schemes including bands of comb impressions, as found in the early levels at Roanne. There are a few moulded-rim jars illustrated from the Terrail site which may be of our class 1 or 2 (Perichon and Jacquet 1985, pl.20,2; pl.22,2; pl.23,3) but there are no fabric descriptions. The majority of the material is considered to be from `local' sources ( ibid., 74). Occupation at Anplepuis probably commences before the Caesarian period (the assemblage includes both Dressel 1a and 1b amphoras) but the publications also include early Roman material.
