Amphora

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

I went to a conference last week and the keynote speaker was great. He told us about Robert Ballard, the guy who found the wreck of the Titanic, and who later discovered the wrecks of ancient ships in the Black Sea.  Some were Byzantine era and some older, Iron Age.  But what was funny was that they found, in his words, many, many jugs of wine stored in, "the Tupperware of that time, the amphora."

Anyway, it made me smile.
