from Part III - Trade and Mobility in a Connected Environment
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 July 2019
This chapter discusses the typology, quantification, production, and economic implications of the ceramic vessels called kegs or sigas from the site of Amheida (ancient Trimithis) in the Dakhleh Oasis. The quantification of the ceramics undertaken at the site during the excavation seasons of 2004-10 shows a high quantity of these locally produced vessels, which suggests an important ceramic production. Furthermore, their presence found along trade routes, namely on the road to the oasis of Farafra, points to their role in commercial activities and long-distance trade of oasis products, most likely olive oil, a commodity known to have been produced in the oasis whose value as cash crop was of great consequence to the overall oasis economy.
