La necropoli di Turona (Bolsena VT). Analisi dei corredi inediti di tre tombe e proposta di contestualizzazione alla luce di vecchi e nuovi dati

This paper has the aim to present the resulting data from the analysis of the grave goods of three pit tombs, found in the Turona necropolis in 1952 by Raymond Bloch. The necropolis is inserted within a topographical context of great importance in the framework of internal southern Etruria of the Recent Orientalizing and Archaic periods. Located North/North-East along the east coast of Lake Bolsena, the Turona necropolis is part of a system of four buried grounds -Bucine, S. Antonio, Scopetone and Turona- belonging to the Civita d’Arlena, which sees its maximum flowering starting from the end of the 8th century B.C. The analysis of the grave goods of the tombs object of this contribution, allow to clarify chronological and topographical aspects and to shed light -albeit only partially- on peculiar aspects of the burial custom of a frontier community.
