Résumé
The paper focuses on the Hellenistic amphorae found during the excavations of the French archaeological mission in the northern area of the Amathus site near the fortifications, from the five-year campaign 2003-2007. Most of them are dated from the mid-3rd century BC to the early decades of the first century BC. The majority of amphorae originate from the Aegean region have been used as contain wines of Cos, Cnide, Ephesos and especially of Rhodes island. Some rarer samples are from Africa and Italy dating from the end of the second century or the beginning of the first century BC. The evidence obtained from the amphorae’s stamped handles is helpful for the chronology of the Hellenistic phase of the site and for tracing commercial relationship of Amathus with the others regions of the Mediterranean basin.
