Other fabrics of western Sardinia: By contrast to W-SARD-A-1 to W-SARD-A-5,1 the following two fabrics W-SARD-A-6 and W-SARD-A-7 have not been defined on the basis of the analysis of the Riu Mannu and Terralba materials, but have been observed in samples from Carthage and Pantelleria.

Fabrics of Western Sardinia: Two fabrics have been defined by the Riu Mannu and Terralba projects on the basis of sys? tematically and intensively collected surface finds (1992?99 and 2003?04). Around 4,000 fragments from a dozen sites ...
