ITALIC TOMB-GROUPS: VULCI 22
14. Cf. Nos. 15 and 16 from Vulci 25, Pl. XLIII;
Nos. 4-8 from Narce 27 M, PI. XIII, and the com-
paranda cited under these numbers.
15. Cf. No. 8 from Narce 16 F, PI. XXIV, and the
comparanda cited under this number.
16. Cf. Gsell, p. 132, Tomb LVII, 4 and PL III, T
17-19. Cf. MonAnt. XXXV, PI. XI, 5 and col. 41
from a trench-tomb, No. IX, Massa Marittima. A fibula
from a tomb on the Polledrara estate, Vulci, Montelius,
PI. 258, 1, which has furnished a parallel for No. 14 from
this tomb, is similar except that the transverse lines are
not flanked by rows of fine dots. For the use of such fine
dots in a different design, cf. Nos. 23-25 from Vulci 22,
PI. XLVIII and Figs. 59-67.
20. Cf. Montelius, PI. 282, 6 from the Tomb of the
8th of March, Tarquinii, which has furnished a parallel
for No. 7 from this tomb, and MonAnt. XV, col. 254, Fig.
102a from Rome.
21. The design is not unlike that of Nos. 15 and 16
from Narce 43, Fig. 7.
24. Cf. Nos. 19 and 20 from Vulci 51, PL XLIV, and
the comparanda cited under this number.
27. Cf. Nos. 16-18 from Narce 71 M, PI. VI, and
the comparanda cited under these numbers.
35. Cf. No. 21 from Vulci 25, PI. XLIII; No. 29 from
Narce 71 M, PI. VI; No. 33 from Narce 102 F, PI. XXIII;
No. 30 from Narce 7 F, PI. XXXVII; MonAnt. IV, PL IX, 8
and col. 364 from Tomb XVII, Falerii, where similar
small buttons were found in an orderly arrangement,
attached by oxidation to bronze rectangular plaques like
those from Narce 43, PL III. Both buttons and rectan-
gular plaques were probably attached to strips of leather
or stuff. In the Warrior’s Tomb, Tarquinii, Monlned. X,
Pl. Xd, 6 and Adi., 1874, p. 263, was found a strip of cloth
with similar buttons sewn to it, which Helbig thought
might have belonged to the cuirass of woven stuff, found
in this tomb. At Aufidena in a later period they are
found on a woman’s garment, MonAnt. X, cols. 325-328,
Figs. 60 and 61 from Tomb CCCCXXXIV. They are
by no means uncommon in Italic tombs, cf., e.g., BPI.
1887, p. 191 and Pl. VII, 31 from Este and id., 1910, p.
98, 4 from Terni; MonAnt. V, Pl. XI, 4 and 5 from
Novilara; id., XXXI, col. 245, Fig. 169, from Grave 29,
Canale; NS. 1924, p. 481, b and p. 501, Fig. 4, from
Marino. For their use in the Hallstatt area cf. Deche-
lette, p. 860, Fig. 358.
VULCI 22
Frothingham states that this tomb was excavated by
Mancinelli in 1895 but does not mention whether it was
a trench- or chamber-tomb. The record photograph of
the objects found within it is unusually poor, and ap-
parently Frothingham had difficulty, on his arrival in
America, in identifying them for he included in his list
objects which cannot be recognized in the record photo-
graph. These have been subtracted; those which can
be identified are:
Pottery
1. Jar. Pl. XLVII. M.S.617, H. 0.391 m., D.
0.355 m. Lip largely restored. Fabric of coarse tex-
ture, dark grey at core, outer surface brown to red.
Handmade. Poor polish. Two horizontal handles the
outermost central part of which is cut away; interme-
diate between the handles two knobs. The decoration
is confined to ribs which, on obverse and reverse, curve
around these knobs and end on a line two thirds of the
way from the neck to the foot. On either side of the
handles are four upright ribs. Above the handles two
chevrons. Below the rim where the ribbing begins is a
horizontal ledge. The edge of the foot is slightly raised.
2. Similar Jar. Pl. XLVII. M.S.618, H. 0.388 m.,
D. 0.355 m. Lip and most of foot restored. Technique
as in the foregoing. The ribbing is also similar except
that over the handles the chevrons are replaced with
tangent lunettes. There is no trace in either of these
amphorae of the technique mentioned by Boehlau, * of
laying strips of clay within grooves cut in the body of the
vase while it was still wet, to form the ribbed decoration.
On the contrary, fractures on these vases show that the
ribs are an integral part of the body.
3. Jar. Pl. XLVII. M.S.610, H. 0.23 m., D. 0.233
m. Foot restored. Fabric of finer texture, than in the
foregoing two vases, but similar in color. Rim and foot
wheel-made and cunningly attached to handmade body.
The shape is that of a lydion with the addition of knobs
and grooved handles. The ribbed decoration is disposed
as in the foregoing vases; above the handles are three
countersunk disks; above the knobs, two.
4. Jar. Pl. XLVII. M.S.619, H. 0.363 m., D.
0.332 m. Breaks at rim. Fabric of medium fine texture,
brown at core; outer surface red. Medium polish.
White checker-board pattern.
5. Italic Imitation of a Subgeometric Amphora.
Pl. XLVIII. M.S.614, H. 0.418 m., D. 0.252 m.
Pieces missing. Fabric of fine texture, buff throughout.
Wheel-made. Two handles, each made of three ropes
of clay, as the handle of No. 6, are not quite opposite one
another. The neck bulges in a plastic ring at the point
where the handles join, as if in imitation of a bowl set
within the neck of an amphora, f On the rim a brown
line; below the rim a zone of interlocking double curves
like the pattern on No. 7; on the plastic ring a zigzag;
on the neck meanders applied evenly on the obverse,
