subject

description

AbstractA new study of the patere baccellate from the Tomba del carrettino at Ca’ Morta offers the opportunity to re-examine the typology of the ribbed bowls of Vetulonia/Colmar type and to re-evaluate their funerary contexts. These vessels appear in central and southern Etruria at the end of the eighth and the beginning of the seventh century BC, the site of Vetulonia being considered as their main production site.Ferdinando Sciacca’s (2005) classification of the ribbed bowls of Vetulonia/Colmar type is supported by solid evidence ; it has advanced the subject significantly, but Sciacca’s model nevertheless raises some questions in terms of the hierarchy of the criteria that were chosen.During the early Orientalising period, Etruscan exports, particularly of drinking sets, towards the Hallstatt cultural area increased greatly, whereas in the Late Bronze Age it was mainly products from the Carpathian Basin that reached central-western Europe. The presence of Etruscan ribbed bowls of Vetulonia/Colmar type in Hallstatt funerary contexts illustrates the transalpine exchange networks of the Hallstatt C period.
