The Etruscan city of Monterano is a station in the intricate road system of Caere in order to control its territory. A secondary road system connects Monterano with its agricultural hinterland. Many data identify the presence of these roads: the existence and direction of the 'tagliate', the development of monumental necropolis and the distribution of rural settlements. We present some preliminary data from the Monterano Project that focuses on the Etruscan phase of the site in order to investigate - through survey - the use and the control of its hinterland by a small Etruscan town.

Abstract
The Etruscan city of Monterano is a station in the intricate road system of Caere in order to control its territory. A secondary road system connects Monterano with its agricultural hinterland. Many data identify the presence of these roads: the existence and direction of the 'tagliate', the development of monumental necropolis and the distribution of rural settlements. We present some preliminary data from the Monterano Project that focuses on the Etruscan phase of the site in order to investigate - through survey - the use and the control of its hinterland by a small Etruscan town.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
