In 1869 Dr. Marinoni described a turbary at Capriano, near Renate (B. 169), in which some remarkable objects of bronze were found at a depth of about 7 feet. Similar objects are prevalent among the relics from the Swiss lake-dwellings, and, judging from what we know of the early Iron Age in Italy, they appear to belong to this period. The find comprised a hair-pin (=Fig. 51=, No. 13), a fibula (No. 18), three bracelets (Nos. 15 and 16), a pendant (No. 17), and a spiral ring (No. 19), all of which are here reproduced from Marinoni's work. (_Ibid., Mem._, vol. vi. Pl. 1.) [Illustration: =Fig. 51.=--BOSISIO (1 to 7, 10 and 11), CAPRIANO (13, and 15 to 19), BRENNO (14), and CASCINA (9 and 12). Nos. 9 to 12 = ¼, and the rest = ½ real size.] TORBIERA DI MAGGIOLINO. Sig. G. B. Villa, in his "Notizie sulle Torbe della Brianza" (B. 90), describes another locality not far from Bosisio, in the territory of Rogeno, called Maggiolino, in which piles, bones, fragments of pottery, flint knives, and arrow-points, etc., were found--evidently the usual _débris_ of a palafitte. (See also B. 327, p. 97.) TORBIERA DI MERCURAGO. Since Gastaldi published his first report on the discovery of palafittes in the bog of Mercurago by Professor Moro, many additional objects from this locality have come to light, some of which have been noticed and figured by Gastaldi in his numerous articles on the antiquities of Lombardy. The peat is now exhausted, but from these notices, together with an inspection of the relics still preserved in the Turin Museum, we can have a tolerably correct notion of this the first discovered lake-dwelling in Italy. (B. 43, 52, 91, 168, and 294.) [Illustration: =Fig. 52.=--Plan and Section of portion of TORBIERA DI MERCURAGO, showing distribution of piles.] [Illustration: =Fig. 53.=--Cover of Earthenware Vessel (⅓).] The peat basin of Mercurago is of an oblong shape, and the antiquities and piles were in a circumscribed place at its northern end, about 130 feet from the bank. Here in a space of 30 feet square, cleared for antiquarian purposes, were counted 22 piles bound together with cross timbers (=Fig. 52=). The superficial deposit of peat was about 6 feet in thickness, and the tops of the piles reached half-way upwards, while their lower ends penetrated from 3 to 4 feet into the lake mud below. Between this mud and the superincumbent peat there was a bed of fern, and lying immediately over it were three earthen dishes in good preservation, one of which appears to be a lid or cover for another dish (=Fig. 53=), together with a large quantity of the broken fragments of others, a bronze pin (=Fig. 60=, No. 6), a scraper 4¾ inches long (No. 7), several arrow-heads (=Fig. 54=), and quite a litter of flint flakes, some shells of hazel-nuts, and stones of the cornel cherry, etc. [Illustration: =Fig. 54.=--Flint Arrow-heads (⅔).]
