Tomb 1 | FINDS cont 23. | Bucchero jug with [red ink: P2237] | strap handle with light buff clay. Unlike other Bucchero pots it has a foot. This is most intresting as it is the only Bucchero pot that we cannot assign to Burial 2 with any degree of probability. It appears to belong and very likely does to Burial 1.

DIARY 54 Tomb 1 cont uncerimoniously in the corner of the tomb. They were jointly collected and placed in the amphora with a juglet (her own or a new one?). The amphora may well have been a new one and not one of theirs. All other Bucchero pots save no. to belong would appear to belong to Burial 2. There is no proof that no. [blank] does not belong but it is somewhat remote and also among what appears definitely to be the thrown out pottery of Burial 1. I have re moved cont. this Bucchero pot and see it has a foot. Unlike other Bucchero pots that the ribbing is distinctive and somewhat more shallow. Hence it may well belong to Burial 1 - the thrown out burial. cont p. 72
