CENTRAL ITALY (for location of sites see FIGS. 427–8)

The lists are by no means comprehensive: to make them so would not only be an almost impossible task but would also require an inordinate amount of space. They include most of the major sites where bucchero of S. Etruscan type has been found, but many important sites are omitted. Even from the sites included there is sometimes only a small quantity of material accessible or published. For the survey information was gathered (mainly in 1971–2) from the following collections:

I cannot be sure about the provenance of the bucchero in the old Faina Collection at Orvieto, or that from the Tuscania museum. I therefore omit references to them.

Generally no attempt is made here to draw clear-cut distinctions as to whether individual items are imported from elsewhere or locally made. The lists do no more than show the area of distribution of S. Etruscan bucchero as a whole, although from them it is often possible to draw limited conclusions about the centre(s) of manufacture of individual types.
