Oh I don't know. They had a convenient mug with the Etruscan alphabet and the Greek alphabet inscribed around the top. What do you know! The letters were one-to-one. And it was perfectly preserved. Not a chip. The various jugs and jars had insults and humorous comments painted haphazardly across them. Almost as if to entertain the audience who would 'dig them up.' Just looking at it all my overwhelming impression was, it was just the same sort of stuff my high school class had buried in our Archaeology unit, so our classmates could collect them. I remember (which is no evidence at all, I know) in my youth, barrows that were investigated int the 1800s and marked 'empty' as suddenly showing up years later packed with handy Etruscan artifacts of just the sort a museum would want.
