	Archaic Italy : The Picenes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Found in Picene cemeteries are Villanovan bronzes, trapezoidal plates with duck heads in the upper corners that are a Halstatt motif from across the Alps, and bronze fibulae of a type from the Balkans, yet found nowhere else in Italy.
		With her were found ten terracotta vessels of different forms from various parts of Italy, a decorated spindle whorl and three bobbins, six large iron rings, a bronze and bone pendant, two small horse-shaped ornaments, and a variety of fibulae together with bows of bronze, amber, and ivory.
		The fibulae found in Picene gravesites are a mixture of a violin-bow type from the Bronze Age, and a boat-shaped type from a later period, however, without the arc fibulae found elsewhere that denotes the interphase between the final Bronze Age and early Iron Age.

		Picene may comprise two different languages under the same name.
		Some of the Picene inscriptions extend back to about the VII century BC and are among the earliest written evidence in Italy.
		The southern inscriptions are transparently Indo-European, while the north Picene inscriptions pose far more problems, since there is not a single word in the inscriptions that can confidently be translated.

		Picenes lived on Adriatic coast of Central Italy, and were a non-Indo-European nation who spoke an unknwn language.
		Picenes worshipped the woodpecker as a sacred animal, and that's why were given such a name (as picus means a woodpecker in Latin).
		Picenes suffered strong Umbrian influence, and their language finally became more Italic than not.

	Archaic Italy : The Umbro-Oscans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Picene and Villanovan influences are found, although not in any correlation that would place all cremations as Villanovan and all inhumation as Picene, since there is a mixture, and at times Umbrian gravesites are unlike either Picene or Villanovan.
		Found in Umbro-Oscan graves is a mixture of pottery types, Picene bridge handles, Campanian binocular cup handles, Villanovan storied urns, Latian reticulate-cordoned jars, along with pottery forms found throughout Italy.
		Likewise with metalwork, what is found among the Umbro-Oscans are the short Iron Age sword and socketed spearhead, and both rectangular and lunar razors that are commonly found throughout Italy.

		And Latin in turn gave rise to the Romance languages: Italian, French, Spanish, Rumanian, etc., which are all thus the descendants of Proto-Italic.
		Picene is less of a linguistic concept than a geographical one; there being two very distinct (unrelated) varieties: Northern Picene and Southern Picene, generally listed together, but quite different.
		The Southern Picene has much in common with the Osco-Umbrian group and also has strong phonological and lexical ties to Venetic and the Balkan languages.

	Picenum
		Etymology: Like for Cupra Montana, the name is usually explained from the presence of a temple of the Picene Goddess Cupra, found as ikiperu in a Picene inscription and as Cubrar in an Umbrian inscription.
		For the Picene place-name a derivation from the IE root del- 'to split, divide' is possible, since the phonetic feature d>t could be one of the markers of the so-called "Picene" linguistic stratum.
		Conventionally, it will be referred to in the languages' page, as Picene (the so-called Picene alphabets seem to have had aspirated voiceless stops).

		For it is not the presence of interpuncts alone but the presence of complex or hierarchical punctuation which may sometimes be used for marking verse divisions.
		While I am inclined, both temperamentally and on the basis of the evidence, to agree with Watkins (and Costa) I think that the views of Eichner have been expressed with enough clarity and rigor that they would deserve an explicit refutation in a book such as Costa's.

		Old Italic refers to a number of related historical Latin-related alphabets used on the Italian peninsula which were used for some non-Indo-European (Etruscan and probably North Picene) languages.
		The alphabets derive from Euboean Greek Cumaean alphabet, used at Ischia and Cumae in the Bay of Naples in the eighth century BC.
		It is not clear whether the process of adaptation from the Greek alphabet took place in Italy from the first colony of Greeks, the city of Cumae, or in Greece/Asia Minor.

		Abstract: The principal objective of this research is to improve basic understanding of the deposit of pyrolytic products from thermally-stressed endothermic fuels.
		The precipitation of picene from supercritical methylcyclohexane was investigated numerically.
		The calculations indicated that a negligible amount of deposits were formed as a result of friction-driven depressurization in tubular flow.
