Recent Research in the Etruscan Necropolis of Sasso Pinzuto at Tuscania
The Sasso Pinzuto necropolis is one of the main Etruscan cemeteries of Tuscania, containing more than one hundred chamber tombs and was used mostly from the early seventh to the fifth century BCE. Like other cemeteries around Tuscania, it also yielded remains of terracotta decoration belonging to the roof of a building, dated to the early sixth century BCE. The terracotta decoration includes friezes showing banqueting people and other scenes clos…
Unveiling ancient maritime secrets through X-ray computed tomography (CT)
In August 1961 the remains of a shipwreck, dating back to the early 6th century BCE, were located at the Island of Giglio in the Bay of Campese (Tuscany, Italy), announcing a major archaeological discovery. Meticulous excavations carried out in the early 1980s partly brought to light both the exceptionally diverse cargo and structural remnants of the vessel. Owing to the extremely heterogeneous composition of the load of international scope, rang…
Etruscan and Italic Offerings in Greek Sanctuaries
Pre-Roman archaeological materials found in Greek places of worship date from the late Bronze Age to the fifth century BCE. The indigenous peoples of Italy and Sicily encountered Greek colonists on the Italian peninsula and absorbed their culture and their customs, thus becoming aware of the sanctuary tradition on the Greek mainland. Italic elites then began to visit international places of worship. Thus, one can ask whether Italic objects found …
GPR survey at the Etruscan necropolis of Sasso Pinzuto, Tuscania (Central Italy)
Sasso Pizzuto is a site of considerable archaeological interest; • Our GPR survey is the first one at the Etruscan necropolis of Sasso Pinzuto; • Our survey highlights buried structures to the Etruscan civilization. Etruscan cemeteries are the best-known source for the Etruscan civilization and provide valuable insights into their culture shedding light on their funerary customs, social structure, and religious beliefs. We present a geophysical s…

Field Survey in the Middle Fortore Valley
The Fortore Valley Project, which began in 2005 and is still ongoing, aims to create an archaeological map of the Fortore Valley. Several intensive and extensive survey campaigns were carried out in the territory of the middle valley. More than 100 km 2 have been surveyed and more than 300 sites identified. This contribution analyzes the collected data and proposes a model of population evolution based on a GIS spatial analysis and a preliminary …
Etruscan Bucchero Pottery in the Northern Black Sea Littoral
Three Etruscan bucchero kantharoi have recently been found in the North Pontic settlements at modern-day Berezan island (ancient Borysthenes), and Taganrog (ancient Kremnoi), both Milesian foundations of the 7th century BC . Both centres yielded several vessels of Greek pottery dated from the early 7th century onwards. As the only finds of Etruscan bucchero in the Northern Black Sea area, the kantharoi are noteworthy. Miletus founded several colo…

It has thus an exceptional position among the classical review journals and allows familiarization with research and publications in neighbouring disciplines. The reviews address an international readership from all fields in classical studies. The GNOMON publishes reviews in German, English, French, Italian and Latin
Etruscology
Death and burial
Cemeteries are our greatest source of knowledge o f the Etruscans, because the Etruscan elite furnished their tombs very richly, a "barbarian" custom that they adopted throughout their civilization, from the second half of the eighth century BCE onward. The three major arts-sculpture, architecture, and painting- were developed mostly for use in burials. Although (or because) this constitutes a huge amount of information, a detailed study of death…
Society, 730–580 BCE
The Etruscan elite furnished their tombs with extraordinary sumptuousness, following a specifically "barbarian" custom-adopted throughout their civilization-that began in the second half of the eighth century BCE and reached its peak in the seventh. The three major arts-stone sculpture, architecture, and painting-developed in this period mostly for use in burials. The sets of grave goods include luxury items of Near Eastern and other provenances,…
Praeneste
The ancient town of Praeneste (modern Palestrina) in eastern Latium, ca. 36 km east of Rome, lay in a strategic location, controlling the natural route between Latium and Campania.
Relazioni e scambi nell’Abruzzo in epoca preromana
Recenti scoperte archeologiche nel territorio abruzzese stanno restituendo le culture materiali dei gruppi tribali di origine sabina che erano stanziati nell’Abruzzo preromano, permettendo di delineare le relazioni tra i singoli gruppi e i rapporti con le altre popolazioni della penisola italica. In questo quadro generale vengono esaminate la diffusione in Abruzzo prima della ceramica «matt-painted » prodotta nell’Apulia, probabile indice di scam…
