Enotrian "a tende elegante" ceramic
Iron Age, Villanovan period, ca. 800-770 BCE
Excavated at Sala Consilina (see on Pleiades), southwest necropolis of San Rocco, Tomb M28 (cremation)
The burial displays a mix of cultural practices; deposition of the cremated remains within a biconical urn with a deliberately broken handle is a "Villanovan" practice, while the container itself is of Enotrian production.
In the collection of the Museo Archeologico di Sala Consilina
Inv. SC\06012, SC\06031
