What were amphora's used for?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Traditionally not many colours were used on Amphora. I myself only study Ancient Greek Amphora, so i cant speak for other eras and types of Amphora. There were two main forms of decoration on Ancient Greek Amphora. Red Figure and Black Figure. The main two colours of both these styles were anthenian clay red and black. Sometimes paint was added onto the amphora after it has been fired, but these were never very bright. For information on how black/red figure was achieved you will have to look on wikipedia (because I'm not a potter). But bassicaly the main colours were red, black and sometimes white.

What absords water better clay or sand?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the particle size of each but some clays such as bentonite are very highly absorbent. This is why it is used for cat litter and as a drilling fluid when drilling bore holes. Although sand may take up water quicker it does not have the capacity to hold on to it. You can see this effect on a beach when the tide goes out the sand soon becomes firm and then dry. Now contrast that with a muddy area which remains muddy for some time after the water has drained off..
