Copper Age (style III A 1; 2900/2800-2400 BC). The style IIIA1 (as defined by DE MARINIS) is dated by comparison between the engraved figures and the real objects (Copper Age daggers) found at the burial site of Remedello (BS). It is so called "Remedellian". The next style (IIIA2) pertains to a bell-beaker phase (2400-2200 BC).
