Western Greek amphorae produced at Panormos and/or Solus: Introduction Intensive economic, cultural and social interactions, at various levels, between the two Phoenician-Punic foundations of Panormos and Solus and their Greek and indigenous neighbors have already been discussed on several occasions. One of the most intriguing issues in this respect represents the imitation, adaptation or reception of Greek pottery types

Fabrics of western Greek amphorae produced at Panormos and/or Solus: Introduction Previous archaeometric and archaeological research has allowed for the in-depth characterization of the Phoenician-Punic amphorae fabrics produced at Palermo and Solunto. Within the frame of the present study, we discuss two more fabrics related to western Greek amphorae manufactured in the area of Panormos and/or Solus
