The excavations described in the following pages were sponsored by the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, and have been carried out by members of the Institute in collaboration with members and associates of the British School at Rome. The enterprise is under the general direction of two of the undersigned and the third, Mrs. M. Aylwin Cotton, is the Field Director. The work has been financed by grants from the Batchelor Foundation and from New York University.
The warm thanks of the excavators are due to the Superintendent of Antiquities for Campania, Professor Alfonso de Franciscis, for his generous support and for much valuable assistance afforded by himself and by members of his staff. The possibility of examining a site in the Ager Falernus was first suggested by the late Professor Maiuri, and the sites finally selected for examination were proposed by Dr. Werner Johannowsky. Permission to excavate at the site of S. Rocco was generously granted by the Comune of Francolise, through the kind offices of the Deputy Mayor, Signor Del Giacomo; and at Posto by the owner, Signor A. Mesolella of Formia.
1 The exact line which it follows across the Falernian plain, between Sinuessa (Mondragone), on the coast at the point of M. Massico, and Capua, has still to be determined.
2 This has so far been traced only on the southern and western sides.
3 This vat is now (1965) seen to have been inserted in Period IA, an intermediate period during which the courtyard was subdivided into two parts and the buildings round it considerably developed.
4 The buttressing of the south wall is now seen to have taken place in Period IA; see previous note.
