Commentary

Images in Bertolone 1957: tav. 38.2 (drawing), De Marinis 1981: tav. 69.7.

Incomplete patera with inward-bent rim (similar to CO·74 Brunate) and traces of red varnish, reconstructed from fragments (Bertolone 1957: 64), found in 1876 in the course of slate cutting works in Carate Lario, then a separate community from Carate Urio. Fourteen cremation burials in stone chambers with ceramic and metal furniture dated to Golasecca III A, situated in regular intervals between two parallel walls, were excavated; see Garovaglio 1877b: 10–13, De Marinis 1981: 117, 281, and the entry on the RAPTOR map (CO.CarUr.1).
