the word Amphora is Latin derived from the Greek word Amphiphoreus which is a compound word refering to the two carrying handles. Most of them were constructed with a pointed base to enable them to be stored in a upright position embedded in sand or a soft earthy material They first appeared during the 15th century BC on the Syrian coast. They were popular until the 7th Century AD when wooden and containers made of skin became more popular
