This is suggested both by the stratigraphic position of the layer, underneath the most recent floor of the tavern, and by the fine Samian ware of the mid-first century AD recovered from it. Of the 30 amphorae identified in this fill, 11 were of eastern origin ( Fig. 3): four of these could not be identified, one was Late Rhodian (Camulodonum 184), two were Schone- Mau XIII (Panella 1976), and four were Dressel 2-4 probably from Cos or its vicinity (Monsieur & Paepe 2002).

Presentamos un conjunto inédito de estampillas anfóricas y tituli picti de época romano-republicana documentados en las excavaciones realizadas entre los años 2005 y 2006 en el solar de la Biblioteca Municipal de Mértola. La mayor parte aparecieron en contexto, en pequeños basureros o grandes niveles de vertidos asociados a la muralla de la ciudad, que pueden fecharse en el último tercio del siglo II a. C. Se trata del grupo de epígrafes anfóricos más numeroso y variado de los registrados en la vertiente occidental del estrecho de Gibraltar y, en general, en la costa atlántica peninsular, para esta cronología. Reúne un nutrido grupo de estampillas de tradición púnica, tanto de procedencia occidental como norteafricana, así como también griegas y latinas, a los que se suman varios tituli picti sobre envases púnicos e itálicos. Entre ellas destacan algunas improntas inéditas o escasamente documentadas, sobre todo entre los sellos púnicos, mientras que los tituli picti revelan nuevos datos sobre el inicio de la actividad de los posesores itálicos en el Mediterráneo occidental. Además del examen detallado de cada espécimen, se realiza un análisis del significado de este conjunto en el estudio del tráfico de mercancías en el occidente
