Amphorae and Coarse Ware Fabrics of Motya: Evidences for Local Production and Export: The amphorae production of the small island of Motya certainly ranks amongst the most-widely studied series of the Phoenician-Punic Mediterranean. Its morphological repertoire has been outlined in detail by P. Toti by the study of the materials from area A,?
