AB This article summarises the results of the underwater rescue excavation of the shipwreckof Ses Fontanelles (Mallorca, Balearic Islands). The excavation documented the remainsof a vessel, 12 m long and 5 m beam, loaded with two tiers of amphorae, which had set sailfrom the south-eastern Iberian Peninsula. The cargo includes numerous amphorae whichwere still sealed and bearing tituli picti, allowing for the analysis of their content. Thereis little doubt that the shipwreck of Ses Fontanelles is a key site for our understanding ofthird–fourth-century trade in the Western Mediterranean.
