1. Fragments of a colorless glass demijohn

Description:
We recovered fragments of at least one demijohn, a high-capacity bottle with a wide mouth was used to transport wine for decanting into smaller bottles. It suggests that South American elites were used to the idea of purchasing wine in demijohns, which were usually shipped in a woven basketry cover and/or straw packing and a wooden crate.
