In 1966, the ANU acquired a collection of 35 pieces of pottery, apparently from Sicily, especially the Gela area. The collection came from Mr L Woite of Canberra. Woite also donated material to two other Australian Universities - the University of Queensland and the University of New England. A joint research project about this collection and it's provenance is currently underway.
