ITALIC TOMB-GROUPS: NARCE 23F

an iron rod. The larger shows a moulded ridge
parallel to the iron rod.
There is no conclusive evidence as to the object
or objects from which these fragments come. The best
guess seems to be that they are the remains of craticula
of the type found in the Regolini-Galassi Tomb, illus-
trated in Montelius, PI. 335, 3 and described by Pinza in
RM. 1907, p. 112, LXXX and LXXXI.
21. Iron Knife. PL XI. M.S.971b. L. 0.175 m.
Put together from four fragments found among the bones
within No. 1. The shank preserved to a length of 0.04 m.
is flat. Several bits of rib bones now adhere to the blade.
22. Fragments of an Ivory Handle. PL XI. M.S.
971d. L. 0.105 m. Put together from fragments found
among the bones in No. 1. A rivet hole may be seen
0.035 m. from the larger end. Ornamented with carved
rings and short interlocking longitudinal lines. This
handle may have belonged, as far as size goes, with the
foregoing, but it shows no stains of iron.
23. Fragments of Coiled Bronze Wire. Pl. XI.
M.S.971 a. D. 0.015 m. Found among the bones in No.
1. Inside the coils are the remains of a slender iron rod.
This was probably inserted into a wooden handle around
which the wire was wound. A few of the fragments are
waved as if they had been wound over a spirally grooved
surface. From a knife or small tool.
24. A Perforated Disk of Bronze. Pl. XI. M.S.
971c. Crumpled. Found among the bones within No.
1. Perhaps from the distaff, No. 18, cf. MonAnt. IV,
col. 222, Fig. 99n.
25. Fragments of Wood. Pl. XI. M.S.971e. L.
0.03 m. The edge is curved as if it came from a small
bowl or lid of wood. On the inner surface are pieces of
corroded iron. To one of them joins the end of a cor-
roded iron dowel the other end of which is embedded in a
piece of wood. The two are not in their original posi-
tion, apparently, in relation to each other. Perhaps the
smaller piece is the stub of a handle.
26. Small Head of Wood. Pl. XI. M.S.971f. H.
0.021 m. Broken. Covered with green stain. A small
perforation runs from the top of the head to the neck
where its outlet is stopped with the crumbled remains of a
bronze dowel. Perhaps the upper part of the foregoing-
handle.
27. Two Tapering Bronze Tubes. Pl. XI. M.S.
988 L. H. 0.022 and 0.157. In both are the remains of
wood and in the smaller an iron dowel. The smaller has
also a rivet hole in the side. From the end of a sheath?
28. Fragments of a Fibula. Pl. X. M.S.934, 983,
and 984. Estimated L. 0.073 m. Part of pin missing
and all but two of the perforated amber disks which were
strung on the bow.

29. Fragment of a Spiral Coil. Pl. XI. M.S.985,
L. 0.021 m.
30. Bronze Overlapping Bracelet. Pl. X. M.S.
981, D. 0.078 m. Intact. Flat on the inside, rounded
on the outside.
31. Bronze Ring. Pl. X. M.S.979. D. 0.039 m.
Intact. Spirally grooved. The flattened slightly over-
lapping ends are riveted together.
32. Small Bronze Ring. PL X. M.S.980. D.
0.018 m. Intact.
33. Fragment of Silver Ring. Pl. X. M.S. 971g.
Found with the bones in No. 1.
34. Fragment of a Bronze Nail. Pl. XI. M.S.
971 h. L. 0.019 m. Quadrangular in section.
35. End of a Bronze Nail. Pl. XI. M.S.971i. L.
0.029. Flattened at the end.
36. Fragment of Bronze. Pl. XI. M.S.988. D.
0.083. From a hemispherical object, in the center of
which is a bronze rivet and washer.
37. Six Clay Weights. PL XI. M.S.986a-f. L.
0.042-0.04 m.
38. Clay Bead or Whorl. Pl. XI. M.S.987. D.
0.025 m.
COMPARANDA
2. The broad transverse lines which connect the foot
with the main zone of decoration are like those on No. 3
from Vulci 51, Pl. XLIV; Nos. 7 and 8 from Vulci 66,
PL XLV; No. 3 from Narce 4 F, Pl. XII; Montelius, Pl.
28, 2, from the Tomb of the eighth of March, Tarquinii;
id. Pl. 256, 3 and MonAnt. XXI, col. 439, Fig. 29 and
color plate, from Visentium, etc.
4. Large bosses on the flaring tops of vase-supports,
like the supports themselves, derive from metal proto-
types, cf., e.g. MAAR. Ill Pl. 58; and flaring tops of
metal supports so ornamented may well derive from
phialai with a single row of knobs beneath the rim, cf.
No. 14, Pl. XIV from Narce 27 M, and Luschey, pp. 61—
66. For circular perforations connected by slits, cf. No.
4 from Narce 64 B, PL XXXVIII; and No. 1 from Narce
2, Pl. XXVI.
6. Cf. MonAnt. XV, col. 110 and Pl. V, 4 from Tomb
L on the Esquiline, tomb-fellow of a pyriform alabastron
of Late Protocorinthian type, id. Pl. IX, 15.
7. Cf. Nos. 14 and 15 from Narce 2, Pl. XXVII and
BullCom. 1903, Pl. XII, 6 and p. 358 from a burial in a
tree trunk, Gabii.
10. Cf. two bowls from Tarquinii, Montelius, Pl. 291,
2, from Tomb A and id. Pl. 289, 4 from the Warrior’s
