Excavations at the Etruscan site of Poggio Civitate (Murlo) have
produced some of the most spectacular and provocative material
recovered from Etruria. This volume presents the reconstruction and
study of a large assemblage of bucchero pottery recovered from the
"Lower Building" at Poggio Civitate in deposits dating from the
late Orientalizing period. Bucchero is a characteristic Etruscan
ceramic type that is commonly found at Orientalizing and Archaic
period Etruscan sites. This study represents the first major
publication on bucchero from Poggio Civitate and also is one of the
few studies of a large assemblage of bucchero recovered from a
nonfunerary context. The author examines the chronology, style, and
function of the bucchero and also considers the question of its
place of production. The analysis of the bucchero from the Lower
Building has important implications not only for the dating of the
rest of the Orientalizing period ceramic assemblage at Poggio
Civitate, but also for the dating and study of bucchero in Etruria
as a whole.
