Forms and fabrics of the terracotta industry in Southern Etruria in the third and second centuries B.C.

Söderlind, Martin LU and Lindahl, Anders LU (1997) In Key Engineering Materials 136(2). p.1438-1443
Abstract

Five moulded terracotta votive heads from Tessennano, Te 1-5, three terracotta sarcophagi from Tuscania, Tu 1-3, two terracotta votive heads from Vulci, Vu 1-2 and three votive heads from Tarquinia, Ta 1-3 are presented in this study. They are included in a larger ongoing research and have been dated to the late third and second centuries B.C. Moulds deriving from the same handmade prototype, hence called type AI, have been used on all sculptures (Fig. 1). The votive sculptures derive from votive deposits while the sarcophagi have been found in rupestral chamber tombs near Tuscania. These sites are all located in Southern Etruria, the northern parts of modern Lazio.
