Copper Age (style III A 2; 2400-2200 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).
