A Late Etruscan Burial at Podere Cannicci (Civitella Paganico – Grosseto)

In March 2021, following some agricultural activities on a slight relief in the area of Civitella Paganico, the remains of a second century B.C.E. burial were excavated by the research team of the IMPERO Project (Interconnected Mobility of People and Economies along the River Ombrone). This paper details the results of the rescue excavations and presents the preliminary data on the nearby settlement of Podere Cannicci to contextualize its necropolis. Finally, the paper addresses some initial thoughts on the broader importance of the discovery in terms of settlement networks and spheres of cultural influences in this liminal area.
