POTTERY Trench 18 North Extension
This book contains the pottery finds from the North Extension of Tesoro Trench 18 which was excavated in August, 1972. The trench reports can be found in , pp. 163-190 (See plan, p. 184; summary pp. 188-190). All the pottery came from the area designated as the North Extension of Trench 18, grids J-M 28-30. It was all found in a reddish stratum mixed with heavy carbon. This stratum lies approx. 90-110 cm below topsoil and approx. 10-15 cm below the surface of the wall foundations defining this area. The pottery was found in extremely heavy concentration and is almost exclusively bucchero, burned brown or orange. The majority of fine molded handles were found in grids K-L 30 directly above a heavy carbon layer which is possibly a burned wooden beam. Grids J-L 28-29 and J 30 produced primarily undecorated stemmed bowls. Grids M 28-30 were not excavated because of surface rocks.
A few handles were restored and catalogued in 1972. The rest of the pottery is to be restored in 1973.
Supplemental finds from bulk bone from T18 1972, found in magazzino. Analysis by Sarah Kansa in 2012.

Tesoro Trench 18
Grids M 28, 29, 30
This trench contains numerous fragments of two handled bucchero cups including the following catalogue numbers: 19730212
19730212 19730212 19730212 , 19730217
19730217
19730219
A count of the fragments indicates that at least 20 cups are partially preserved. For example, a count of the pieces preserving the exterior join of the handle with the base of the wall indicates the presence of 39 handles, i.e. 20 cups. A count of the pieces preserving the apex of the handle-curve indicates the presence of 38 handles, i.e. 19 cups. Also, the rim fragments can be separated into at least 22 groups on the basis of 1) the distance from the bottom of the cup's wall to the top of the rim, 2) the distance from the incised line to the top of the rim, or 3) on the nature of decorative incision itself.
The fragments are badly broken and have been burned to varying degrees from red to orange to charcoal gray.
Two cups (pieced together from many fragments) are preserved almost entirely ( 19730212 and 19730217
19730217 19730217 19730217 ) with only a few pieces missing from the rims. No. 19730218 preserved the foot, one-half of the rim, one entire handle and the join at the bottom of the wall of the other handle. No. 19730219 preserves one-half of the rim, one entire handle and the join at the rim of the other handle; the foot is missing. There are 7 other large fragments preserving various percentages of rims and entire handles.The 2 handled cup has a flat round base with a short stem. The base of the bowl is almost flat and joins the almost vertical walls of the bowl in a ridge; the ridge is sometimes decoratively crimped. Tall, thin strap handles (which are usually concave in cross-section) are attached to the rim and to the ridge below. The walls of the bowls vary in height from 4 to 5 cm. Immediately below the rim on the exterior 2 (or 1) decorative incised rings run around the cup; often this decoration is interrupted by the handles as in 19730212
19730212 19730212 19730212 ; often the rim is left undecorated.

Tesoro Trench 18
North Extension (within the walls)
This area, excavated by Jenifer Neils in 1972, contained numerous fragments from small impasto bowls which bear a stamped guilloche design on their rims. Included are the following catalogue numbers: 19730223 to 19730230
19730230 19730230 19730230 .The fragments, which are badly broken and burned to varying degrees from red to black, belong to small impasto bowls on high conical feet (cf: 19730223 and 19730224 for the complete shape). The bowls have gradually sloping sides which somewhere near the top turn sharply upward and rise almost vertically for a short distance and then turn outward to form flat, everted rims. The rims (from 0.018m to 0.022m wide) are stamped with a guilloche design (0.01m wide) at varying distances from the interior and exterior edges. The design consists of two concentric rings of ovals which have been placed end to end and have dots in their interiors; these two rings are then joined by vertical lines and a dot is placed in between the lines. The exterior edge of the rim can be either rounded ( 19730237
19730237
A count of the fragments indicates that at least 24 bowls are represented. For example, the rim fragments with a squared edge can be separated into at least 5 distinct groups; those with a rounded edge can be divided into 9 groups; and fragments of at least 30 trefoil handles are preserved.

Ten Rim Variants for "Steep-sided bowls"
Tesoro Trench 18
North Extension (within the walls)
This room excavated by Jennifer Neils yielded many fragments belonging to impasto bowls with steep sides including catalogue 19730237 which is the only piece preserving the entire profile from rim to base. The bowls stand on sloping feet and have steeply slanted walls. The lip consists of a vertical flange which is set at a diagonal to the walls and is triangular in cross-section. The fragments from these bowls are badly broken and burned to varying degrees from orange to black; several are heavily encrusted. Since very few of the preserved rim fragments join to produce any rim sections of notable circumference and since the lower body pieces are virtually indistinguishable from those belonging to the stemmed plates, it is impossible to make an accurate estimate of the number of bowls represented by the excavated fragments. The rim fragments can, however, be separated into several types of the basis of 1) width of rim, 2) angle between rim and walls of bowl, 3) thickness of walls of bowl. Based on these criteria, 10 rim variants can be identified; these 10 groups, therefore, plus the catalogued fragment mentioned above give a minimum of 11 vessels of this type in this area.

These bowls have vertical rims which join the sides of the bowls at a sharp angle which is often marked by a prominent ridge. The sides of the bowls slope sharply; the bowls stand on flat bases with short stems. The fragments are badly broken, burned and encrusted. Due to the large number of preserved fragments and their similarity, an estimate of the number of vessels represented could not be made. Instead the rim fragments were separated into variant groups on the bases of 1) thickness of rim, 2) height of tim, 3) profile of ridge and 4) angle between rim and bowl sides. Only those fragments preserving all 4 criteria, therefore, were considered, and 18 variants were identified. These 18 groups plus the 7 catalogued bowls mentioned above gives a minimum number of 25 vessels.

These plates have rounded sloping walls and a rather shallow bowl. They stand on flat bases with short stems. They have wide, everted rims of varying widths and profiles; some have a very rounded, curved profile while others are virtually flat.
The preserved fragments are badly broken and burned to varying degrees from orange to charcoal grey. Several are heavily encrusted.
Well over 1,000 fragments were excavated which preserved a section of the rim from these plates. Due to the large numbers involved, an estimate of the number of vessels represented by these fragments could not feasibly be made. Instead all of the preserved fragments with the exterior section of the rim were measured. Then those plates which had been restored to preserved at least two thirds of the original circumference were measured to determine the average circumference for these stemmed plates. The total measurement of rim section was then deivded by this average circumference to determine the minimum number of vessels represented by these fragments.

This room, excavated by Jenifer Neils, in 1972, produced numerous fragments and complete pieces which reveal a particular double handle type, labelled here "double handles with exterior palmette plaque." The pieces in question include the following catalogue numbers: 19720323 (handle), 19720324 (handle fragment), 19730259 (small cup with everted rim), 19730260 (cup with straight rim), 19730261 (handle fr.), 19730262
19730262 19730262 19730262 (handle fr.), 19730263 (handle sliver), 19730277 (cup with everted rim) and four small uncatalogued fragments.This handle type is reconstructed primarily from 19730259
19730259 19730259 19730259 , 19720323 19720323 19720323 19720323 , and 19730261 19730261 19730261 19730261 . It consists of two parts joined at the top, which is crowned by a round cone-like knob of two layers. The interior section is straight and is attached to the cup at the rim. It is adorned with a moulded female figure, viewed frontally, waist up. The face, in higher relief than the body, has large, almond-shaped eyes, a broad, flat nose, thick lips, and a distinct, protruding chin. The top of the forehead is bordered across by a straight band, the sides of the head by long tresses slashed with short, diagonal incisions. These tresses drape down vertically across the chest to the waist, the distance between each gradually diminishing towards the bottom. Near the bottom 2 arms extend diagonally from the lateral edges, bending at the elbow. Each hand clutches a tress; the fingers are indicated by four incisions. Outside the tresses are wings, which originate at the waist and gradually widen as they proceed toward the top until they stop at the horizontal plane formed by the eyes. The outside section of the handle is curved and joins the vase at the shoulder. It is flat on the exterior and adorned with a moulded plaque consisting of 6 palmettes framed in heart-shaped volutes, in such a way as to form a vertical row, intertwining and stacking one upon the other. The topmost palmette is framed only by a half volute. This plaque is bordered ont he lateral sides by two ridges, distinctly separated by a incised groove which continues past the lower margins of the panel and extends to the area where the handle is attached to the shoulder.Three important points may be made regarding this double handle type:
-
The majority of the pieces preserved are badly broken and burned to various shades of black to brown to orange. However,
19720324
and
19720323
are definitely bucchero; the remaining pieces are composed of a fine-grain clay. It is then safe to conclude that we are dealing with a handle type associated with fine pottery, specifically bucchero; the brown to orange coloring of the clay is due to burning.
- The handles are made from moulds. 19720323 and 19730261 have identical designs and corresponding measurements. 19720324 is an interesting variation of this type, with small cut-out areas between the wings and tresses similar to the next handle type represented by 19720280 19720280 19720280 19720280 . However, the female figure of the type in question has one unique characteristic which seems to differentiate it from the winged figures of the 19720280 type: the tresses are rather narrow and all are articulated with diagonal slashes, thus closely resembling braids; the next handle type represented by 19720280 has wide, flat tresses, each divided by a vertical incision. Consequently, 19720324 belongs to our first type, but with a very clear variation. Of course, the major question remains: are these all local products, or is this 19720280 perfhaps a local variation of an imported product, or are these all imported?
- The handle may be interchanged from one cup type to another. 19730277 and 19730259 are derivations of the Ionic bowl type with everted rim, while 19730260 shows a straight rim.
From the material preserved, we are dealing with a minimum of 6 pieces bearing this handle type: 19730259
19730259 19730259 19730259 , 19730261 19730261 19730261 19730261 , 19730262 19730262 19730262 19730262 , 19730277

This room, excavated by Jenifer Neils, in 1972, produced numerous fragments and complete pieces which point to a second type of double handle, labelled here "double handles with interior hour-glass plaque." 19730266
19730266 19730266 19730266 , 19730267 19730267 19730267 , 19730268 19730268 19730268 19730268 , 19730269 19730269 19730269 19730269 , 19730270 19730270 19730270 19730270 , 19730271 19730271 19730271 19730271 , 19730272 19730272 19730272 , 19730274 19730274 19730274 19730274 , 19730275
19730275
This double handle type can be reconstructed completely from 19720280
19720280 19720280 19720280 . The exterior, curving section is in the form of a winged woman, view frontally from the waist up. The wings begin at the waist, extend past the neck, gradually widening, and then taper and curl inwards at the top of the head. Cut-out areas are left between the hair and wings. The hair, falling two long treeses, extends to below the woman's waist. She clutches these tresses in here hands which are rendered by 4 incised slashes; her arms extend out diagonally from the lateral sides and bend at the elbows. Her head is in high relief and has incised almond-shaped eyes, a long nose, a wide mouth, and heavy chin. The interior, straight section of gthe handle is in the form of a plaque, shaped like an hour-glass; its lateral edges are articulated by a raised ridge which terminates at the upper ahd lower corners in a circle with a raised dot in its center. The handle is crowned by a rounded knob.Thus, the winged woman of this type is quite similat to that of the previous type except for the addition of cut-out areas betweeen the head and wings and the introduction of flat, wide tresses in place of braided type. Most importantly, the female figure form the curved, exterior section of the handle, not the straight, interior part as in the previous type.
Basic points to be made;
- Once again, the majority of pieces preserved are badly broken and burned to various shades of black to brown to orange. All are, however, fine grained. A piece such as 19720280 is definitely bucchero, as are 19730265 19730265 19730265 19730265 , 19730274 19730274 19730274 19730274 , 19730275 19730275 19730275 , and 19730276 19730276 19730276 19730276 . Those others labelled "Impasto, fine grain" have been done specifically because they do not fit the definitely of bucchero as such (black clay), but are very likely bucchero which has been burned orange to brown. Thus, we are dealing with a handle type associated with fine pottery, specifically bucchero.
- The handles are mould-made: 19720280 and 19730265 are the best examples.
- The handles may be interchanged from one cup type to another. 19720280 is a cup with everted rim, following closely the shape of Ionic bowls. 19730258 19730258 19730258 , 19730265 19730265 19730265 19730265 , and 19730285 are scalloped cups with a straight rim; 19730266 preserves part of a rim which also belongs to this group.
4. Variations exist. 19730269 and 19730270 have wings incised with horizontal tongues (denoting feathers); the incised wings have no parallels. In addition, 19730270 has 4 parallel, horizontal incisions below the waist of the female figure; these lines are also apparent on another type of handle exemplified by 19720320 and 19720279 but on the interior section of the double handle.
A conservative estimate of the number cups bearing this handle type 10
19720280 = 1 19730258 = 1, both cups nearly intact
19730272 to 19730276 give a minimum of 4 exterior handle secions
19730270 19730270 19730270 , 19730269 19730269 19730269 19730269 , 19730268 19730268 19730268 19730268 , and 19730265 give 4 more exterior parts. 19730285 19730285 19730285 , 19730271 19730271 19730271 19730271 , 19730266 19730266 19730266 19730266 , and 19730267 give 4 interior sections which could have been attached to any of the 8 exterior parts mentioned. 1 + 1 + 4 + 4 = 10

This room, excavated by Jenifer Neils in 1972, produced numerous fragments and complete pieces which point to a third double handle type, labelled here "double handles with exterior disca." The catalogue numbers under consideration are: 19720321
19720321 19720321 19720321 , 19720322 19720322 19720322 , 19720325 19720325 19720325 , 19730239 19730239 19730239 19730239 , 19730278 19730278 19730278 , 19730280 19730280 19730280 , 19730281 19730281 19730281 19730281 , 19730282 19730282 19730282 19730282 , 19730283 19730283 19730283 , 19730284 19730284 19730284 , 19730286 19730286 19730286 , 19730294 19730294 19730294 , plus a few uncatalogued fragments.This handle can be reconstructed primarily from 19730239
19730239 19730239 19730239 . It consists of 2 parts joined at the top, which is crowned by a round, cone-like knob of 2 layers. The interior section is straight and attached to the cup at the rim. It is in the form of a vertical plaque which tapers in the middle and is decorated with 2 large, voluted palmettes. The exterior section is curved and joins the vase at the shoulder. It is in the form of a frontal, winged woman, rendered from the waist up. Her arms are bent at the elbows and held across her chest, meeting in the center and holding her wings. These wings curve out towards her shoulders and then inwards at the head, gradually widening. The head is in higher relief than the rest of the body and shows 2 large, almond-shaped eyes with pupils indicated in relief, a long flat nose, short thick lips, and a heavy rounded chin. The lower body is columnar. At the base of the figure, 2 disca project out from the lateral sides.Once again this handle type employs a winged female figure on one of the handle sections. However, in this case it is easily recognized by the shape of the wings bending in the chest and held in her hands. One particular feature which distinguishes the female figure of this type is the treatment of the eyes. The lids are clearly outline and joined at the corners, while the pupil is in high relief.
- the majority of pieces preserved are badly broken and burned to various shades of black to brown to orange. All are, however, fine, grain. Those labelled "impasto" have been done specifically because they do not fit the definitely of bucchero as such, but are very likely bucchero which has been burned brown to orange.
-
This handle type may be interchaged from one cup type to another.

- The handles are mould made (except 19730281 19730281 19730281 19730281 ).
- Variations occfur. 19720325 has a finial bowl instead of the standard conical knob.
19730281 is the most peculiar piece of this handle type. Its dimensions are smaller compared to the other pieces. Secondly, it does nto appear mould made, as the irregularities of the lateral edges, particularly the disca, show. The workmanship also seems a little less refined on this piece than on the others. In addition, this section with the female figure belongs to the interior handle part and not the exterior section as is customary of this type. This once again raises the questions whether 19730281 is the product of a different local workshop or a local imitation of imported wares.
A conservative estimate of the cups bearing this handle type: 9.

IN 1972, Jenifer Neils excavated this room which produced two fragmentary pieces, 19720279 and 19720320
19720320 19720320 19720320 , which point to a 4 th handle type, labelled here " double handles with finial of helmeted warrior."This double handle type can be reconstructed from 19720279
19720279 19720279 . It consists of two parts joined at the top. The curving, exterior section is joined to the cup at the shoulder, while the interior section is joined at the rim. Both show the same moulded decoration of a winged woman, rendered frontally from the waist up. The wings begin at the waist and extend upwards to the neck, gradually widening; at chin level they taper and curl inwards leaving 2 small cut-out areas between the hair and wings. Framing the sides of the face are two long tresses; these tresses drape down across the chest to the waist, each divided by a vertical incision beginning at chin level. From the lateral sides, arms extend out diagonally, bent at the elbows; a tress is clutched in each hand. The head is in higher relief than the rest of the body; the face is long and lean and shows 2 incised, almond-shaped eyes, a large, broad nose, thick lips and a prominent chin. There are only two differences in the nose, thick lips, and prominent chin. There are only two differences in the rendering of each female figure: the exterior winged woman has a part down the middle of her hair and two incised lines below her waist. At the join of the handle section at the top is finial in the form of a helmeted head with a large crest.With only two examples ti is difficult to make any essential conclusions. It is interesting to not, however, that each female figure of every handle type maintains at least one definite characteristic which separates it from the female figures of all the other handle types. In this case, the female figure of the interior section has a part in the middle of the hair on both 19720279 and 19720320
19720320 19720320 19720320 , which is not found on any of the other female figures.

Trench 18, North Extension
The material consists of numerous sherds, some of which could be joined to fragmentary vessels of the shape of Ionic bowls. These sherds were found by J. Neils in the Tesoro, Trench 18, North Extension, in the "red stratum."
Description: In general the material is "bucchero sottile." Almost all of the pieces were burnt secondarily. They show different colors varying from a soft light red to brownish. The clay matrix usually is uniform, very well leviated and well tempered.
Catalogued pieces:
- Bowl 19730287 19730287 19730287 19730287 . Fragmentary bucchero bowl int he shape of an "ionic bowl." The 18 fragments were scattered over an area of 7 square meters (R-29, M-29, N-29, N-30). Though not more than about 1/3 of the vessel could be put together, the profile including rim, body, and foot, as well as the handles, can be reconstructed. The foot may be described as a flared hollow ring base with a bottom diameter of 5.65cm and a height of 0.9cm. the body turns outward to a maximum diamter of ca. 13cm at the shoulder before slightly tapering inward to the start of the rim. The rim is of an average width of 2.2cm. It everts to a diameter of ca. 14cm, which is a little larger than that of the shoulder. The shoulder carries the two horizontally attached "loophandles," of which one is preserved. The handle span at the shoulder measure about 2.4cm. The total height of this vessel is about 9.3cm.

, all the sherds turned to a light red color because of secondary burning.
Fragmentary bowl 19730289
19730289 19730289 . About half of the shoulder of the vessel is preserved as well as a little of the body, parts of the rim and 1 handle. The diameter at the shoulder is ca. 13.5cm. The fragments were mostly secondarily burnt.Besides these, there are 5 larger pieces of probably the same shape of Ionic bowl which could be put together. In all cases, parts of the shoulders are preserved; in 4 cases, parts of the bodies join. Three of these pieces show rims of determinable width between 1.6 and 1.9cm. The average diameter of the shoulder is about 13 to 14cm. Though all the sherds are burnt, the clay material proves to be the same fine bucchero with a fabric thickness of 3.5 to 5mm. Of the three pieces with a measurable rim, the two smaller ones might go to the same bowl. One of these two has a handle attachment scar.
As far as rim-parts are concerned, we distinguish between fragments of determinable and of uncertain height. To the first group go rimpieces we get at least 6 different varieties as far as height, thickness, and the angle between rim and shoulder are concerned. Very likely 2 of these varieties cannot be joined to any of the discussed vessels or fragments. The rest of these rim-fragments cannot be assigned to a specific vessel, not even to a particular variety.
Furthermore, there are numerous body-fragments, most of them of small size, at times chips. The fragments vary within the described range as far as thickness and levigation are concerned. For only a few sherds, their position within the vessel is obvious.
No stray foot fragments were found. The material does contain fragments of at least 5 different handles, all of which seem to have been horizontally attached to the shoulder. One entire handle and 2 fragments are clearly larger (ca. 3cm at the span) than those of the catalogued pieces, whereas 1 fragment is certainly smaller. It cannot be said where these handles or fragments might go.
A minimum number of bowls can be estimated. There are the 3 catalogued vessels, and probably 4 (perhaps 5) other bowls from the larger pieces these bowls. Two varieties of rimpieces do not seem to go to any of these bowls. Keeping in mind the 2 extraordinary sizes of handles which might go together with the largest or smallest rimpieces, the total number amounts to at least 9 bowls.
Tesoro Trench 18
North extension (within the walls) Red Layer Coarse ware
Coarse ware from Tesoro Trench 18 North Extension includes fabrics ranging from about 5-30mm in thickness. Color ranges from brown through grey to orange, and many, but less than half, of the fragments show signs of burning. The fabrics are dense with many intrusions (possibly temper) of three types: black mica, white mica, and chalk-like grains, so that the thicker fabrics often resemble "Murlo Terracotta." Recognizable shapes include large rounded vessels (cf 19750063
19750063
19750034
19750064
19750102
19710141
19720042
19730137
19710113
Distinctive fragments include:
Handles Predominantly horizontal handles, circular in cross section, from vessels of all sizes and fabrics. (cf. 19710113
19710113 19710113 19710113 , 19750034 19750034 19750034 , 19750064 19750064 19750064 19750064 ) All examples attach to the body from the vessel with one exception: a curved handle springing from a flaring rim. (cf 19680440
19680440
Rims This material includes three basic types of rims: flaring, everted, and straight. In this summary flaring rim designates a rim that springs up and out from the body in a continuous curve, preserving the fabric thickness of the body. Everted rim designates a rim that thickens after it turns out from the body. Straight rim designates a rim the continues the shape of the vessel regardless of change in fabric thickness.
Flaring rims occur in the finer coarse wares, i.e. fabrics not exceeding 1 cm in thickness and with significantly fewer intrusions. These rims range from 1-3cm in height, the largest flares being of a fine impasto-like fabric, including one elegant example with a knob attached to the upper rim edge. 27 examples.
In addition this group includes 8 examples of small globular vessels (ca. 10-13cm in diameter) with very small flares that are slightly thicker than the body. (cf 19700124
19700124
19710420
Everted rims, both angular and rounded, occur primarily in the coarser fabrics, thicker than 5 cm with many intrusions. The height of the rim is generally equal to two times the fabric thickness. One can trace a progression towards greater outward turning in the rims. The first rims in the series barely turn over are almost straight rims with an angled edge ), while the last of the series turn so completely that the to surface is horizontal ( ). 46 examples
The group includes 4 examples of pithos rims, a variant of everted rims, where the body fabric is thicker than the rim fabric (3cm) and the interior angle is close to 90 degrees. (cf 19680519
19680519
Fragments of finer ware might be associated with shallow bowls (cf 19760004
19760004
A few scattered examples preserve indications of shoulder definition from which the rim thins out evenly on both sides to a rounded edge. (cf. 19750064
19750064 19750064 19750064 , 19730312 19730312 19730312 )One variety of which we have 14 rims in 6 "wares" defines the area between the shoulder and rim with 3 ridges running parallel to the edge. (cf. 19710312
19710312
19710313
19730323
A small group of straight rims, all of very fine coarse ware, bend sharply inwards about 2-3cm from the rim edge and may possibly be associated with small cups or bowls of two types (cf. 19710419
19710419
19690296
19690195
Bases The majority of base fragments in this group tem from flat bottomed vessels in the full range of fabrics. More than 20 examples. Two individual fragments of small vases preserve feet, 1 conical foot (cf. 19720350
19720350
19720351
19690305
19690236
Body fragments Similar cut-out holes are preserved in body fragments, of both very coarse and finer wares, as well as cut-outs with straight edges. Such cut edges appear on opposite sides of 2 fragments, perhaps reconstructable as wide flat handles or as part of a small cooking stand with consecutive triangles. (cf. 19730137
19730137 19730137 , MEFRA 84 (1972) p. 96 fig. 9, p. 99 fig. 11 for parallels in coarser wares, no complete shapes in finer coarse ware such as these)One body fragment of medium coarse ware preserves a rope pattern in relief. Another individual body fragment in fine coarse ware, unlike the rest of the group in its complexity of form, bends sharply at a fillet and then continues for 6cm to the base of a flaring rim.
