Excavations at Poggio Civitate (Murlo)
The 2025 excavation season focused on previously explored areas to understand aspects of the Intermediate and Final phases of the settlement better. Exploration immediately north of the Intermediate Phase’s industrial center yielded considerable evidence of various forms of production while also revealing details concerning this area’s original, seventh-century BCE topography. Excavation on the eastern edge of the Piano del Tesoro plateau clarifi…
The Sacred and the Mundane
The most recent studies of Etruscan dice have focused on those recovered from Etruscan settlements of Tarquinia, Volsinii (Orvieto), and Clusium. The studies of these dice make special note of the fact that the corpus of dice under consideration was recovered from funerary contexts. Information regarding each of the dice includes the material (ivory and bone) out of which they were carved, the forms and common configurations of the numerical sign…
Alphabetic Sigla on Stone Beads from Poggio Civitate (Murlo)
Two stone beads carved in the form of spindle whorls were recovered from the site of Poggio Civitate (Murlo). The beads are particularly noteworthy because they were incised with alphabetic sigla or, in the case of stone bead (PC 19870049), possibly a sequence of syllables with Consonant-Vowel structure. We examine the findspots of the beads and discuss the paleography of the letterforms. We conclude by considering the possible functions of the i…
Numeri-form Sigla at Poggio Civitate (Murlo)
Symbols incised and drawn on artifacts recovered from Poggio Civitate (Murlo) have intrigued scholars since the earliest days of its excavation. Dozens of different types of symbols, some alphabetic and others non-alphabetic, were placed on roofing tiles, ceramics, and in rare cases, weaving implements. A subset of these symbols, all incised on locally produced ceramic objects, resembles the forms of numerals found on Etruscan inscriptions and so…
