NARCE 2
Mancinelli’s diagram of this tomb is shown in Fig. 33.
His note is as follows:
Fig. 33
Anche questa tomba a fossa fu rinvenuta nel terreno del! Arci-
pretura Vocabolo il Sagramento quasi in comunicazione colla
tomba della Donna [= Narce 1].
Era orizzontata da nord a sud e ta testa del morto era rivolta
a nord dove comunicava colla tomba suddetta.
La chiudenda, la riempitura della fossa e la disposizione degli
oggetti, non che la franetura ed altro era del tutto simile alia
tomba suddetta della Donna [Narce 1].
Roma, li 17 Settembre, 1897.
The record photograph like that of Narce I was taken
under the supervision of the American consul, di Castro,
after Frothingham had left Rome, and the contents of
both tombs reached the Museum in a separate and later
shipment.
Pottery
1. Vase-carrier. PI. XXVI. M.S.2705, H. 0.039
m., D. 0.0255 m. Mended. Fabric of medium fine
texture, buff at core, outer surface orange red shading
through buff with black patches. Wheel-made except
the central bulb, which is handmade. The lines of
junction of the bulb to the top and base are obliterated
by paring. Inferior polish. The bulb is ornamented
with four circular perforations and the base with per-
forated ornaments of connected circles. Horizontal
grooves on the upper surface of the rim of the flaring top.
2. Bowl. PI. XXVI. M.S.2706, H. 0.198 m., D.
0.233 m. Cracked and reinforced. Abrasions of sur-
face. Similar fabric. Wheel-made. The outer surface
is unpolished; the interior polished. Irregular striations
made by potter’s tool in upper surface of rim.
3. Bowl. PI. XXVII. M.S.2744a, H. 0.125 m., D.
0.178 m. Rim chipped. Similar fabric, outer surface
orange red. That pigment was applied to the exterior
surface is apparent from the area under the lip, where a
streak of pinkish red is clearly defined against the dark
buff clay. Wheel-made. Inferior polish. Irregular
striations made by potter’s tool in upper surface of lip.
4. Lydion. PI. XXVII. M.S.2708, H. 0.169 m., D.
0.162 m. Mended. Similar fabric and technique.
Orange color with one black patch. Wheel-made.
5. Bowl on Low Foot. PI. XXVII. M.S.2717, H.
0.12 m., D. 0.192 m. Foot chipped. Fabric somewhat
coarser in texture, buff at core, outer surface of mottled
color, pinkish orange to black. Wheel-made. Poor
polish.
6. Similar Bowl. PI. XXVII. M.S.2718, H. 0.109
m., D. 0.178 m. Mended. Fabric of finer texture than
in the preceding, outer surface brownish grey except for
a few red patches. Wheel-made.
7. Similar Bowl on Higher Foot. PI. XXVII.
M.S.2722, H. 0.103 m., D. 0.132 m. Intact. Fabric
and technique as in foregoing. Surface orange to brown.
8. Stand. PI. XXVI. M.S.2719, H. 0.195 m., D.
0.243 m. Rim broken. Fabric of coarse texture, black
at core, outer surface red. Handmade. Medium pol-
ish. Grooved rim. Traces of horizontal white stripes
on foot and lower surface of bowl.
9. Stand. PI. XXVI. M.S.2721, H. 0.151 m., D.
0.199 m. Intact. Fabric of medium fine texture, red
throughout. Wheel-made. Four slits in base. Rim
grooved with two rows of diagonal notches on ridges
between grooves. Two string holes.
10. Footed Bowl. PI. XXVII. M.S.3151, H. 0.217
m., D. 0.213 m. Mended. The bowl proper and the
foot were catalogued separately among the ‘miscel-
laneous’ fragments, but they join perfectly and the
reconstructed vase may be identified in the record photo-
graph of this tomb. Moderately coarse texture of fabric,
maroon throughout. Base of foot wheel-made, upper
part of foot handmade then joined to wheel-made bowl.
Polished exterior buff to orange.
11. Oinochoe. PI. XXVII. M.S.2707, H. 0.158
m., D. 0.13 m. Mended and restored. Fabric as in the
foregoing. Handmade. Handle clumsily fashioned and
joined. A clay knob at the point where the handle joins
the neck imitates a bronze rivet. Color of the exterior
a pinkish red.
