Condition: Numerous repaired breaks, surface cracks and part of surface flaked off the underside of the bowl. Clay and surface description: Surface colour very dark grey (2.5Y 3/1) core colour grey (2.5Y 5/1); fine, well levigated clay with 1% mica inclusions both on surface and core. Description: Footed bowl with wide straight lip on a conical bowl; tall trumpet foot with collar ring approximately two thirds up from base; interior bowl has straight sided lip sloping to central concave area; relief ridge runs horizontally halfway down outside of lip; slip; burnished horizontally to a high sheen both on exterior and interior surface, including inside foot; apparent bristle marks interior bowl. Publication: Reeve 1870, No. 831. Parallels: Orvieto, Necropoli Crocifisso del Tufo, tomb 53, similar shape but no carination on lip and foot 2cm shorter, 580 (Bizzari 1966, fig. 44: H & I; Inv. 1088 & 1089). Orvieto, Cannicella Necropolis, tomb 4; third quarter of the sixth century (Prayon et al. 1993, 86, fig. 111: 4 & 6, Inv. G4/19 & G4/ 23) Discussion: Tamburini carinated cup category XVII, Type 1c (first quarter of the sixth century) (Tamburini 2004, 208–9). This type produced at Orvieto and the interior bristle marks of the bowl are typical of production at Orvieto (Prayon et al, 1993, 80). Date: Ca. 600–575. 118 37 Footed bowl (NMR908) Dimensions: H.: 10; D. Rim: 14.8, D. Base: 10.1 Condition: Partially restored; foot reconstructed; three separate bowl pieces; bowl painted with black paint with brush marks evident on interior of bowl; soil accretions on interior of the foot. Clay and surface description: Surface colour is black (2.5/N) with core pale brown (10YR 6/3); fine, well levigated clay with 15% white inclusions. Description: Footed bowl with straight lip; conical bowl; hollow trumpet foot; No decoration; exterior and interior surface of bowl and foot, not inside of foot, horizontal burnished Publication: Reeve 1870, No. 908. Parallels: Chiusi, first half of the sixth century (Camporeale 1992, 137: 147). Royal Ontario Museum, Inv. 918.3.37 (ROM 126–7, C125). Discussion: Tamburini carinated cup category XVII, type 1b dated to first quarter of the sixth century. Hayes states that the wide splayed foot is typical of late seventh century contexts (ROM 126). This piece probably dates end of seventh beginning of the sixth century. Date: Ca. 690–510. 119 38 Footed bowl (NMR871) Dimensions: H.: 10.3; D. Rim: 14.6, D. Base: 9.2. Condition: Significantly damaged and reconstructed from a number of pieces with triangular piece missing from foot edge; flaking of surface on exterior bowl. Clay and surface description: Surface colour very dark grey (10YR 3/1) with a grey core (10YR 5/1); well levigated fine clay 10% fine to medium white inclusions and 20% mica on the surface. Description: Footed bowl with straight lip, conical bowl on hollow trumpet foot; Undecorated apart from single row of carination on base of bowl beside join with stem of foot; series of wheel marks (possibly intentionally left) running beside carination on bowl base; slip; burnished (horizontally) to a high sheen on exterior including inside foot; inner surface has vertical burnishing typical of Orvietan production. Publication: Reeve 1870, No. 871. Parallels: No precise parallels found. Discussion: The shape would appear to be between Tamburini carinated cup category XVII types 1b and1d. Type 1b is dated to first quarter and 1d to second and third quarters of sixth century (Tamburini 2004, 208).The raised ridge on the bowl at the join of the stem and bowl could be mimicking the look of joins on metal vessels and would suggest an earlier date as does the wide splayed foot and it is unlikely this was made after middle sixth century. Slip was used on grey bucchero and it is possible that this vessel was manufactured in a workshop producing grey bucchero. Date: Ca. 600–550. 120 39 Footed bowl (NMR868) Dimensions: H.: 9.7; D. Rim: 14.5, D. Base: 9.2 Condition: Restored from a number of pieces with large triangular piece missing from foot; soil accretions to inside of foot. Clay and surface description: Surface colour is grey (10YR 5.5/1), core colour is grey (10YR 5/1). Description: Footed bowl with short straight lip; conical bowl very similar to 38 but the bowl is more acutely angled; wide trumpet foot; double row of carination on underside of bowl around join of bowl and stem foot; slip; unevenly burnished on exterior (horizontally); inner surface has vertical burnishing; single incised line runs parallel to lip on the interior bowl. Very similar to 38 except the foot is one centimetre taller. Publication: Reeve 1870, No. 868. Parallels and Date: See 38. 121 40 Footed bowl (NMR932) Dimensions: H.: 10–10.8; D. Rim: 13.9, D.
