Investigations on Roman amphorae sealing systems
Abstract Firstly, a background of past studies on Roman amphorae sealing systems is presented. However, apart from the consensus regarding the use of vegetable resins, some questions remain unanswered. On this study the use of resins as sealing material is detected, as well as other components which are added to resins and remarkably improve the features of the mixture, whose essential requirement was to provide effective sealing for the ceramic container. The identification of calcic soaps on the inner part of amphorae reveals the addition of oil and lime on the sealing mix.
