Table 2. Singular provenience codes ink-marked on reliably provenanced Cavallo lithics in storage at Taranto that M. Gorgoglione’s 1970s schede and the Taranto Museum catalogue assign to two or more different levels of the sequence (as of June 2014; N = number of marked items assigned to the given stratigraphic unit).
| CODE | B-II | D (a) | E-II/I (a) | E-III (a) |

(a) Items mounted for display in the Taranto Museum.
(b) The following U15G-marked items were excluded from the table because of significant discrepancy between the contents of the bags in which they were kept and the description and/or counts recorded in the associated schede: eight pieces of blade/bladelet debitage/debris on good quality flint found in level B-I bags pencil-labeled “318” (which contained 20 items and should only have 9) and “319” (which contained 16 items and should only have 6); two bladelets from Upper Paleolithic prismatic cores on good quality flint found in a layer F bag paper-labeled “85” (which contained 19 such items but should only have two scrapers). These ten items confirm nonetheless that U15G is the code for a field unit that contained both clearly Upper Paleolithic material on good quality flint and Uluzzian or Mousterian material made on limestone (namely, the two scrapers and one splintered piece observed among the items mounted for display and assigned by the museum catalogue to layer D and to level E-II/I).
