It was a table jug for serving wine

A Mycenaean clay amphora from the Late Bronze Age is being presented for the first time at the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki

Dated to between the third and fifth centuries, the inside of the wine jug had been coated with resin to make it watertight. “We also found a number of fragments of amphorae around,” said underwater archaeologist Tea Katunaric Kirjakov of the University of Split. Kirjakov said the researchers will continue to search the area for additional amphoras and shipwreck remains.
