Three fragments of the foot and a small part of the bottom of a red-varnished ceramic bowl (Garovaglio 1878: 36, no. 12), 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 (see Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 175–179, Tibiletti Bruno 1969: 995 f., Gambari & Colonna 1988: 161, no. 4 ["capanna"], id. Morandi 2004: 625). Coordinates based on the map in Luraschi et al. 1969 (entry no. 37, p. 225 f.). Generic dating to G III A above is given in accordance with the overall dating of the Rondineto graffiti (De Marinis & Motta 1991: 214) in agreement with De Marinis 1986: 75, no. 5 (cf. Motta 2000: 208); the structure is dated specifically to Golasecca III A 1–2 by Gambari & Colonna 1988: 161, no. 4 (cf. Morandi 2004: 625 5^th c.).
