Fragment of a mica schist slab found in October 1925 (PID: 630), probably from a grave (Morandi). Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 173 gives find spot "località « a monte », villa Cànepa"; the entry for villa Canepa on the RAPTOR map (CO.SF.SV.16 - Loc. Villa Canepa) does not agree with the location indicated in Luraschi et al. 1969, which is more plausible. Luraschi et al. 1969: 218, no. 20 locate the find in Rondineto, but the spot seems to be just within San Fermo. See Giussani 1927: 145–148.
