GRAND RIBAUD F.

Probable Etruscan shipwreck (circa 520 to 470 BC) site in the south of France, to the east of Toulon at the south west extremity of the peninsula of Giens, located at a depth of 59 to 61 meters. The ship had about 400 purely Etruscan (possibly from Caere) amphorae that normally appear on sites in the south of France dated to between 525 and 500 BC and seem to have contained wine. Etruscan finds included some bucchero, some impasto, three mortars, and a consignment of 40 bronze basins. Other finds included a more limited quantity of East Greek black figure pottery and a few Greek amphorae. It has been hypothesized to have been in transit from Pyrgi to Lattes.
