Abstract

Trade practices have long been a concern of anthropological studies but has fallen out of focus in archaeological research. Much can be learned about trade from material remains, especially those from shipwrecks. For this study, material remains from four Classical Greek merchant shipwrecks will be examined to identify commodities contained within transport amphorae. This research will provide insight into commodities that are well-known for this historical context, such as wine and olive products, in addition to other commodities not often discussed or even known about. Furthermore, this will highlight the need for archaeological research to engage with anthropological practices of studying trade
