They found a shipwreck in the harbor of Pharos (an ancient Greek colony founded in 385 B.C., now Stari Grad on the island of Hvar in Croatia) and have arranged the amphoras as they were found in the harbor in an exhibit in the archaeological museum in Stari Grad. Pretty much utilitarian vessels, nothing fancy.
