seems to be regarded as “coming back” merchandise that testifi es the liveliness of the
Greek frequenting of the middle Tyrrhenian Sea. The herons seem to be the Villanovan

production there still live elements of Euboean and Protocorinthian ancestry. The
Subgeometric pottery with herons is absolutely the fi rst Caeretan production with
characteristics of uniformity and standardization that allow us to reconstruct a high level
of organization of craft production already in the early seventh century bc.
