The archaeological reconstruction of oven tiles is combined with the analysis of archaeozoological and macrobotanical remains. Józsa S., Sauer R., Szakmány Gy.: Petrology = In T. Bezeczky ed.: Roman Amphorae from the Amber Route in Western Pannónia. BAR International Series 386, Oxford (1987) 103-124. Investigations on thin sections of 81 amphora fragments were carried out by polarizing microscopy. The samples were collected from the Amber Route. The ratio of matrix, clasts and limonite were determined. The various clasts were identified and thenpercentages calculated. The data were documented in several tables. The amphorae represented the following types and workshops: Dressel 2-4, Dressel 5, Dressel 6B (from various workshops, locality or stamps: С Laecanius Bassus, Calvia Crispinilla, amphorae from Loron, amphorae with imperial stamps, amphorae without any stamps), Dressel 20. The following clasts occurred: Minerals - quartz, K-feldspars, plagioclase, micas (biotite, muscovite), opaque minerals, pyroxene (few), accessories (zoisite-clinozoisite, epidote, tourmaline, apatite, zircon, garnet, titanite). Rock fragments - dominant: quartzite, sparite, micrite; subordinate: shale, gneiss, mica-schist, phyllite and granite. Fossils - calcitic-, opalic- and quartzitic fossils. The individual workshops (identified by the stamps) were grouped on the basis of the quality of various clasts and the ratio of clasts to the matrix and limonite. Brief petrographical features of all the amphora types studied were described. Józsa S., Sauer R., Szakmány Gy., Weiszburg T.: Mineralogisch petrografische Untersuchungen = In T.
