Abstract
A short note published in 1925 in the Bullettino di Paletnologia Italiana (vol. xlv, p. 153) briefly recorded the discovery of prehistoric material during quarrying for gypsum near Ariano five years previously. A footnote to an article by Rellini three years later was a little more explicit. The finds, from collapsed caves at the foot of a hill, were largely of the Apennine Culture of the Bronze Age with some painted Neolithic ware. The same statement is repeated almost word for word in Rellini's La Più Antica Ceramica Dipinta in Italia, p. 75. Then in 1950, in an article on the prehistoric collections in the Museo Nazionale di Napoli, Buchner wrote a short paragraph which attracted far less attention than it deserved. It recorded that in material sent in from the quarry between 1920 and 1938 impressed and scratched neolithic pottery was also present.
