what has been found for the ceramic series of askoid jugs at Vetulonia, only few of which
(Fig. 11.8), according to the mineralogical and petrographic analyses, were imports
(Cygielman, Pagnini 2002); in Sardinia these vessels, starting from the full Final Bronze
Age (Campus, Leonelli 2006), are widely used and it seems reasonable to assume that the
Sardinian association is now the driving force for their diffusion in northern Etruria while
askoid jugs are still rare in other Villanovan areas.
Some Nuragic bronzes are only sporadically attested in Etruria: the tintinnabula
(“rattles”) for example, in the form of a stool or anthropomorphic figurines, currently
reported only in the famous tomb of the Cavalupo necropolis of Vulci (Fig. 11.9) and
recently recognized as a multiple cremation (Arancio, Moretti Sgubini, Pellegrini 2010)
called the “Tomb of the Sardinian Bronzes” because of the presence among the offerings
of two of these objects and a miniature reproduction of a basket, also from the island. On
the other hand, the hypothesis of intermarriage between the populations of Sardinia and
the Italian peninsula seems corroborated by the presence of Nuragic objects in Etruscan
burials, mostly female (Bartoloni 1997).
