Amazing. Some of those containers appear they’re still sealed. Wonder if the amphorae contain inscriptions as to the winery of origin . If they are that would very telling of commercialisn of that era. Which would be a story in itself.

Good idea, that’s not unknown. The origin of the jugs can probably be identified by the trace elements in the clay.
