More Fabrics of the 'Circuito del Estrecho' Area: Amphorae from the Region of Málaga/Almería from Southern-central Mediterranean Sites: IntroductionThe present research was inspired by the identification of an important find group among the approximately 280 Punic amphorae found in the necropolis of Himera in western Sicily. This assemblage is composed of 30 transport containers which formally refer to types produced in the 'Circuito del Estrecho de Gibraltar' area…
