Excavations conducted by Quenn's University in the central area of the Etruscan city of Caere, near the so-called hypogaeum of Clepsina, have brought to light a sequence of phases indicative of a longer and more complex history of urban occupation at the site than previously thought. Excavation and geophysical prospection have revealed a regular urban plan in the area between the centre of the city plateau and the sanctuary of Manganello. Research within the hypogaeum has allowed for a better reading of wall paintings, drawings and inscriptions, including two previously unknown texts.

Abstract
Excavations conducted by Quenn's University in the central area of the Etruscan city of Caere, near the so-called hypogaeum of Clepsina, have brought to light a sequence of phases indicative of a longer and more complex history of urban occupation at the site than previously thought. Excavation and geophysical prospection have revealed a regular urban plan in the area between the centre of the city plateau and the sanctuary of Manganello. Research within the hypogaeum has allowed for a better reading of wall paintings, drawings and inscriptions, including two previously unknown texts.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
