DISCUSSION
Among the fragments collected at the site, the bowl (ciotola), nr. 1, is characterized by a
probably straight cylindrical upper part, which is not unlike the ones seen in the examples
from S. Giovenale, Area A, settore Sud, strati 11 and 15, a context that can be dated to
the oldest phase of the Recent Bronze Age. 38
Similarly, the barrel shaped jar (olla a botte) nr. 2 matches examples from Recent
Bronze Age contexts; a similar specimen is known from a Recent Bronze Age context at
S. Giovenale (area B, trench AP 58:1, test pit B, strata 8-7). 39
Finally, the truncated conical bowl (scodella) nr. 4 resembles a specimen from Broglio di
Trebisacce (sett. D east, livello S, riq H) that can be classified as Giardino’s type 10. It
can be dated to the Recent Bronze Age. 40
