Extract

Although every object of antiquity possesses a certain interest for the archaeologist, still that interest is much increased when a number are found together, and under circumstances which imply that they were contemporaneous.

A “find” of special interest was made in the year 1817 at Albano, and described in a letter from Dr. A. Visconti to Signor G. Carnevali di Albano. Since however this letter does not give a complete description of the antiquities in question, and is moreover not easily accessible to archaeologists, we have thought that a more complete account would be acceptable to the Society, the pottery belonging to this find being of peculiar interest.

page 108 note b Visconti, in his Memoir so frequently referred to, has given a drawing to exhibit one of these singular interments of the Pascolare, restored in accordance with his very careful observations. He shows a vertical section of the large two-handled wide-mouthed jar, with perspective sketches of its contents. In the centre (standing, it would seem on a layer of earth, which fills about one-fifth of the jar, so as to give more room than the narrow bottom would afford) is the hut-urn (described post p. 12, No. 4), containing a small wheel, a very small cup, and two other objects, one apparently a fibula. Around this hut-urn are grouped a number of the earthen vases subsequently described in detail m this Paper, and of which we have figured the typical specimens. This drawing, which is not very artistic, has been reproduced both by Blacas and De Rossi in their respective memoirs, and will also be found, on a reduced scale, in Birch's Hist, of Ancient Pottery, ii. 197. Gozzadini's figure (Di alcuni sepolcri, p. 10, fig. 6) of one of the sepulchres of the Bolognese necropolis should be compared with Visconti's drawing.
