Commentary

Images in Barelli 1878/Garovaglio 1878: tav. I.17 (drawing [mirrored] = Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 277, tav. V.5a [corrected]), Barelli 1878b: tav. XII.11 (drawing), Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 277, tav. V.5b (photo).

Fragment of a ceramic vessel (Garovaglio 1878: 37, no. 17), found at Rondineto in a structure near the Palazzuola area – the structure is identified as a tomb by Barelli 1878: 13–15, Barelli 1878b: 29 f., but may in fact be a building (cf. CO·6 Rondineto).
