33 Traces of actual textiles have been found in numerous burials dating from 700 to 650 bce
and are undergoing analysis. Detailed studies of textiles from the male burials can be found
in Stauffer 2002; 2003; 2004; 2012.
34 A large number of wool textile fragments were retrieved in 1953 at the Caolino necropolis at
Sasso di Furbara in central-west Italy, found by construction workers in a wooden monoxile
(dugout) boat, interpreted as a cenotaph; for analysis see Masurel 1982; Mamez and Masurel
- The boat was^14 C dated (radiocarbon dated) to the eighth century bce, which is
consistent with the stylistic dating of the materials found in the surrounding necropolis;
