Commentary

Images in Tibiletti Bruno 1977b: 101 (photo), Morandi 1999: 201, tav. XIV.3 (photo).

Small fragment of the bottom of a ceramic vessel, originally red-varnished according to Morandi, found during the construction of a building together with a large number of potsherds datable to Golasecca III (Tibiletti Bruno 1977b: 101, no. 83, Luraschi et al. 1969: 218, no. 21 with map). Generic dating to G III A above is given in accordance with the overall dating of the Rondineto graffiti (De Marinis & Motta 1991: 214), cf. Solinas and Morandi.
