Commentary

Images in Barelli 1877/Garovaglio 1877: tav. I.17 (drawing = Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 288, tav. XVI.42 = Solinas 1995: 353), Oberziner 1883: tav. XVIII.10 (drawing copied from Garovaglio).

Fragment of the foot or bottom of a ceramic vessel of reddish clay, an engraved palmette decoration on the inside (Garovaglio 1877: 35, no. 17), found at Rondineto in unspecified circumstances (see Barelli 1877: 4). Generic dating to G III A above is given in accordance with the overall dating of the Rondineto graffiti (De Marinis & Motta 1991: 214).
