A village of Middle to Late Neolithic hut foundations (fondi di capanne) and some crouched burials in Abruzzi, Italy. It has given its name to the Ripoli Trichrome Painted Ware of the central Italian Middle Neolithic, c 4500-3500 BC. Ripoli Ware has a buff fabric painted with geometric designs in black, separated from areas painted red by a pair of lines enclosing a row of dots. The usual shape is a round-based cup with straight vertical wall and single handle, this sometimes with a pair of curious projections from the top. The Ripoli pottery is one of a series of Italian trichrome painted wares, including the Capri style and the Scaloria style. There are connections with Danilo across the Adriatic. Notable among the flintwork are tanged and single-barbed arrowheads.
