LdM Archaeology Students Unearth Ancient Etruscan Tomb

The series of excavations planned for 2009, organized by Lorenzo de' Medici under the archaeological supervision of Etruria Meridionale and the town of Tuscania, has unearthed a sepulcher with burial niches dating from the Hellenistic period of the Etruscan civilization. This particular excavation is part of an overall project under the direction of Dott. Stefano Giuntoli, who has already seen some important finds during recent excavations in the Pina delle Rusciare and Fosso Caprino areas, including the discovery of six sarcophagi and a bronze mirror now on display in the National Museum of Riposo.
