Abstract
The considerations presented here derive from the study of Roman amphoras found during the Pisa South Picenum Survey Project (in the Marches Region), which dealt with the territory of Firmum Picenum. A total of 1751 fragments were collected, equal to 991 NMI, comprising local and imported products dating from the 3rd century B. C. up to the 7th century A. D.. Our aim is to evaluate the informative potential of the amphoras and try to avoid any bias by adopting a global study approach. This takes into account that many wares were not traded in amphoras and that, on the contrary, an amphora could be used for transporting not only its primary ware, but also many other products and that once it was no longer used as a container it could be re-used in many important historical-economic processes (in drainage works, in constructing buildings, and in necropolises).
