This handbook to the Late Roman Amphora 1 (LRA1) is a publication of the Levantine Ceramics Project (https://www.levantineceramics.org/), an open-access resource for the study of Levantine pottery, its societies, cultures and economies, from the Neolithic era (ca. 5500 BCE) until today. For four hundred years (fourth–seventh centuries), the LRA1 served as both agent and symbol of the deeply entwined, far-flung economic network of the later Roman and Byzantine worlds. The handbook offers an up-to-date overview and user-friendly identification guide to known production sites, petrographic data, and current information on distribution, which stretches from Scotland and Wales to Yemen and India.

Samuel Grady Gillett (MA, Tel Aviv University) has excavated and surveyed in central and southern Israel and across the southeastern United States. His thesis analyzed the distribution network of Late Roman 1 amphoras in the eastern Mediterranean via petrography. His research interests include long-distance trade and connectivity and archaeology in the public media.

Veronica Iacomi (PhD, Università degli Studi di Napoli L'Orientale) was a member of the research team at Elaiussa Sebaste in Turkey from 2004 to 2018, where she oversaw excavations of one of the city's residential districts, which included a large atelier for LRA1 production. Her research interests are centered on the archaeology of Cilicia from the Hellenistic to the Early Byzantine periods.
