ITALIC TOMB-GROUPS: NARCE 71M

18. Nine Bronze Bigonigal Coils. Pl. VI. M.S.
825k, L. 0.068 m.
19. Two Spiral Coils in the Shape of Truncated
Cones. PL VI. M.S.823, L. 0.072 m., and 0.068 m.
The uppermost and lowest turns of the coils of either
specimen are narrower than the adjacent turns which
indicates that the two cones did not join to form one large
biconical coil. The end of one is bent back; it may have
ended in a ring.
20. Rings, Chains and Biconical Spiral Orna-
ments, mostly fragmentary. PI. VI. M.S.820d. Of
the chains there remain about one hundred links. In
several instances four or five links are pendant from either
one or two; these should be the remnants of a complex
chain like that shown in Marsiliana, PI. XXVI, very
probably suspended from coils as in NS. 1900, p. 491,
Fig. 31.
21. Overlapping Bronze Bracelet. PL VI. M.S.
821, D. 0.079 m. Intact. Made from a single sheet of
bronze, its longitudinal edges joined on the inner face
of the bracelet, and its ends hammered into bead and
reel ornaments. The finely incised decoration, now
barely discernible, is shown in Fig. 10.
because similar specimens have a central perforation,
cf. MonAnt. XV, PI. Ill, 8.
24. Clay Bead. PL VI. M.S.820e, W. 0.03 m.
Quadrangular in section. Circles of stippled ornament
about the four corners and openings of the perforation.
Found in 1936 among the charred bones within the
burial urn.
25. Clay Bead. PL VI. M.S.820F, W. 0.03 m.
Pentagonal in section. Found in urn with charred
bones.
26. Bronze Fibula. Pl. VI. M.S.820g, L. 0.021 m.
Pin, spring and most of catch missing. Sharp medium
and lateral ridges.
27. Three Fragments of a Bronze Fibula. Pl. VI.
M.S.820h, L. 0.051 m. End of pin and one fragment of
arch missing. The arch, which is rectangular in section,
is enlarged above the catch, and wound at three points
with bronze wire. Between these points there are scant
traces of bone, or amber beads.
28. Fragments of Bronze Fibulae. Pl. VI. M.S.
820d. Fragments of pins and catches of two or more
other fibulae.

22. Three Fragments of a Bronze Spindle. PL
VI. M.S. 826 and 792a and b. L. of the three combined
fragments, 0.168 m. They are (a) the lower end, (b)
a piece of the hollow shaft now joined to the end and (c)
a second piece of the shaft. In the record photographs
the fragment b appears in the group of objects from
Narce 19 M, whereas a and c appear in the record photo-
graph of this tomb. The three join. Since the more
conspicuous fragments, a and c, are photographed as
belonging to this tomb, the three pieces are listed here,
although both b and c were catalogued by Frothingham
on his return to America as belonging to Tomb 19 M.
Tip of lower end broken. The remains of a second disk
above the lower disk are visible. Their outer edges
doubtless joined. *
23. Three Clay Weights. Pl. VI. M.S.820, 820a
and b, L. 0.053 m., 0.051 m., and 0.046 m. One is
mended with a small clay plug where the clay had
cracked open. Found among the charred bones in the
burial urn in 1936. All three have crosses incised on
either end; perhaps a thread was wound in the grooves
of the incised cross, and thus the weight was held straight.
That these objects are weights, not spools, is probable
* Disks on spindles are sometimes separate, but their surfaces
are then horizontal, cf. BPI. 1912, Pl. 6.
29. Two Small Buttons with Broken Shanks.
Pl. VI. M.S.820g, D. 0.006 m.

1. Cf. No. 1 from Vulci 51, Pl. XLIV; CVA. British
Museum 7, IV B a, Pl. 3, 16, from Caere; and, for shape,
Montelius, Pl. 258, 13, from a well-tomb on the Polle-
drara estate, Vulci.
2. Cf. Nos. 3 and 4 from Vulci 66, Pl. XLV; Nos. 7,
8 and 9 from Vulci 25, PL XLIII; JDI. 1900, p. 159, Fig.
4, 5 from Grave XVI, Pitigliano; MonAnt. IV, col. 479,
No. 2, and col. 192, Fig. 76 from Barnabei’s Tomb
XVIII, Narce.
5 and 7. The shape is similar to that of the series of
bowls from Narce (?) 27 M, particularly those with
rippled shoulders, Nos. 4-8, Pl. XIII; see also the com-
paranda cited under these numbers.
8. Cf. No. 17 from Vulci 25, Pl. XLIII; No. 12 from
Vulci 42 F, Pl. XLIX; Montelius, Pl. 258, 17, an exact
parallel, from the same well-tomb on the Polledrara
estate which has furnished a parallel for Nos. 1, 5 and 7.
It would seem that the Polledrara tomb is contemporary
with our tomb.
