ITALIC TOMB-GROUPS: VULCI 22
accordingly legitimate to ascribe all the pottery from
this tomb to approximately the same period. Now a
pyxis from this tomb, Furtwaengler, op. cit., p. 133, No.
1158, is ornamented with Phoenician palmettes in which
incision and superadded red and white are used (cf.
the palmettes on two olpai in Munich, Sieveking and
Hackl, PI. 27, 634 and 635a), which should probably be
dated to the Late Protocorinthian period, somewhere near
the middle of the seventh century. The vase, Montelius,
PI. 260, 4, from this tomb, which is made of blue clay,
not faience, as often stated (cf. Hanfmann, p. 12), con-
firms this date. The three amphorae from this tomb
would probably then be not more than twenty-five years
earlier. Whether these amphorae are Italic imitations,
as Furtwaengler thought, or importations as Payne, Nec.,
p. 4, and Blakeway, BSA. XXXIII, p. 193, thought, they
indicate the probability of a date after 675 B.C. for our
amphora. On four vases from Visentium, NS. 1928, PI.
IX, may be seen running ovals, wavey verticals and
quatrefoils interspersed with rosettes and hatched
meanders, the same repertoire of patterns used on the
Polledrara amphorae; one of them indeed is of similar
shape. They come from Trench-tomb X which con-
tained a bronze shield, id.., PI. X, to which are attached
pendant ornaments like No. 14 from Narce 19 M,
PI. XX.
6. Cf. an oinochoe in the Vatican dated by Payne,
PV., PI. 30, 5 and pp. 20 and 23, to the third quarter of
the seventh century; another in Munich, Sieveking-
Hackl, PI. 7, 235 (which likewise had a dot rosette at
junction of neck and handle); and Mingazzini, PI. XXIV,
4 and 5. The neck of our vase is higher and the rays
above the base are fewer than in any of these examples.
7. Cf. a jar of similar shape with a similarly grooved
rim and a waved line in the handle zone from Tarquinii,
Montelius, PI. 292, 14. This jar is further ornamented
with incised overlapping semicircles, like those on No. 12
from Narce 64 B, PI. XXXIX, and those on No. 6 from
Vulci 26, PI. LI, which perhaps shows that this shape was
still in use at the end of the seventh and the beginning of
the sixth century.
8. Cf. 17 and 18 from Narce 27 M, PI. XIV, and the
comparanda cited under these numbers.
9. Cf. CVA. Oxford 2, IIIc, PI. 1, 28, dated by Payne
to the late eighth or early seventh century. This cup
differs from ours in having fine horizontal lines on the
outside of the rim, a reserved band on the inside of the
rim, and more upright lines in the shoulder zone. Its
mate, regarded as an import by Boehlau, is Jdl. 1900, p.
178, Fig. 21, 9, from Tomb XII, Pitigliano, the tomb-
fellow of two jars like Nos. 1 and 2 from our tomb, and of
a series of vases, ibid., Figs. 19, 20 and 21, 3, 4 and 5,
closely analogous to vases from our Narce 27 M, Pis.
XIII and XIV. One of these is a phiale which according
to Luschey, p. 154, reached Italy about 700 B.C.; an-
other is a tall oinochoe, ibid., Fig. 21, 8, similar in shape
to No. 17 from Narce 64 B, PL XXXIX. Since Tomb
XII, Pitigliano, is a trench-tomb and so contained but
one burial it would seem that this type of cup, in Italy
at least, lasted well into the seventh century.
10. Cf. CVA. Scheurleer 2, lid, PI. 2, 2, where it is
classed as Rhodian with the remark, “peut-etre d’origine
italienne.”
11. The prototye of this jug may well be Cretan; cf.
Payne, CVA. Oxford 2, Ila, PI. I, 2, id. IIIc, PI. I, 1, Nec.,
p. 5, 1. Many such have been found at Cumae, some of
which have been thought by Payne, loc. cit. and by Blake-
way, BSA. XXXIII, p. 202, to be probably of Cretan
origin. Our example seems to be of local manufacture
under Cumaean influence. It may be noted that her-
ring-bone pattern was used to ornament the handles
of Cumaean jugs, MonAnt. XXII, PI. XL, 2, 7 and 8
and col. 242 from a fossa No. XXXII which contained
also a conical oinochoe, id., PI. XXXVI, 3. In another
Cumaean trench-tomb, 103 bis, was found a taller jug,
MonAnt. XIII, col. 274, Fig. 57, the handle of which
is again ornamented with herring-bone, tomb-fellow of
two shorter jugs of the type under discussion, ibid., Figs.
55 and 56. It looks as if the artist who painted our jug
had in mind handles ornamented as at Cumae with a
single row of herring-bone but laid his pattern out in-
accurately and spread it over the edge of the handle.
13. Cf. NS. 1916, p. 217, Fig. 26, regarded by Payne,
Nec., p. 4, as a Cretan import. It was found in Tomb 36,
Terni, together with ivories which may best be dated to
the middle of the seventh century, cf. Hanfmann, p. 27,
and Aberg, p. 133, Fig. 398.
16. Cf. a similar tripod bowl from Praeneste,
MonAnt. XV, col. 242 and PI. XVII, Fig. 27, which
Pinza connects with a Cypriote type, Ohnefalsch-Richter,
Kypros, Die Bibel und Homer, p. 462, PI. CIX, Fig. 4; NS.
1935, p. 338, Fig. 11, c from sepolcro A in the Tumulo di
Vaccareccia, Veii; CVA. University of Michigan, 1, IVE,
PI. XXXVIII, said to have come from Cumae.
17. Cf. No. 15 and 16 from Vulci 5, PI. LII, and the
comparanda cited under these numbers.
18. Cf. Nos. 16-18 from Narce 71 M, PI. VI, and the
comparanda cited under these numbers.
20. Cf. Nos. 17 and 18 from Narce 18 B, PL VI, and
the comparanda cited under these numbers.
21. Cf. No. 25 from Vulci 66, PL XLVI.
25. The lines of fine dots suggest Nos. 17-19 from
Vulci 66, PL XLVI; but a closer parallel is MonAnt.
