Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis compares Umbria before and after the Roman conquest in order to assess the impact of the imposition of Roman control over this area of central Italy. There are four sections specifically on Umbria and two more general chapters of introduction and conclusion. The introductory chapter examines the most important issues for the history of the Italian regions in this period and the extent to which they are relevant to Umbria, given the type of evidence that survives. The chapter focuses on the concept of state formation, and the information about it provided by evidence for urbanisation, coinage, and the creation of treaties. The second chapter looks at the archaeological and other available evidence for the history of Umbria before the Roman conquest, and maps the beginnings of the formation of the state through the growth in social complexity, urbanisation and the emergence of cult places. -

These consist of OC1/Residence, an aPParent - ly aristocratic household, the furnishings of which attest to the wealth of its inhabitants, OC2/WorkshoP, a large and ornately decorated multifunctional workshoP, and OC3/TriPartite, a building whose triPartite interior division conforms to what we might exPect of a religious structure of the Etruscan seventh century. All stood together on the Plateau by the last quarter of the seventh century BCE. 2 StratigraPhic evidence suggests that the three buildings were destroyed in a sin - gle conflagration. 3 Although the sPecific causes of the fire can not be determined, evi - dence from OC2/WorkshoP suggests a sudden catastroPhe. -

A Near EasTern EThnic ElemenT Among The ETruscan EliTe? by Jodi Magness INTRODUCTION:THEPROBLEMOFETRUSCANORIGINS 1 “Virtually all archaeologists now agree that the evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of the “indigenous” theory of Etruscan origins: the development of Etruscan culture has to be understood within an evolutionary sequence of social elaboration in Etruria.” 2 “The archaeological evidence now available shows no sign of any invasion, migra- Tion, or colonisaTion in The eighTh cenTury... The formaTion of ETruscan civilisaTion occurred in ITaly by a gradual process, The final sTages of which can be documenTed in The archaeo- logical record from The ninTh To The sevenTh cenTuries BC... For This reason The problem of ETruscan origins is nowadays (righTly) relegaTed To a fooTnoTe in scholarly accounTs.” 3 he origins of the Etruscans have been the subject of debate since classical antiqui- Tty. There have traditionally been three schools of thought (or “models” or “the- ories”) regarding Etruscan origins, based on a combination of textual, archaeo- logical, and linguistic evidence.4 According to the first school of thought, the Etruscans (or Tyrrhenians = Tyrsenoi, Tyrrhenoi) originated in the eastern Mediterranean. -

A Short History of the Etruscans the Etruscan Non-Polis 4 the Etruscan Non-Polis Urban Growth in the Archaic Period Piazza
A Short History of the Etruscans The Etruscan Non-polis 4 The Etruscan Non-polis Urban Growth in the Archaic Period Piazza d’Armi at Veii and the earliest architectural terracottas Between the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, some archaeologists believed that the high terrace to the south of the main plateau of Veii known as Piazza d’Armi was the acropolis of the Etruscan city; George Dennis and eminent scholars Luigi Canina and Rodolfo Lanciani were of this opinion, but not everyone agreed. Its high position, naturally defended on three sides, was notable, but the terrace was separated from the plateau of the city by the gorge of the Fosso della Mola. To Ettore Gabrici, Neapolitan archaeologist then working at the Villa Giulia Museum, the area looked like an uncultivated patch with a few traces of ancient remains. In 1913, he went on to conduct the first ever stratigraphic excavation in the middle of the terrace, and brought to light painted tiles, parts of drystone walls and an elliptical structure dressed with tufa blocks, which he assumed belonged to a very early date prior to the flourishing of the Etruscans, but which we now know to be a cistern. Less than ten years later, field investigation in the area continued under the direction of Enrico Stefani who subsequently published the finds in 1944 (Stefani, 1944, p. 143). Among them were Iron Age huts, a series of buildings with stone blocks arranged according to an almost orthogonal plan, the remains of the ancient walls related to a large gate that, he saw, connected the terrace to the ancient city to the north (Figure 4.1). -

Funerary Ritual and Urban Development in Archaic Central Italy by Jennifer Marilyn Evans a Disser
Funerary Ritual and Urban Development in Archaic Central Italy By Jennifer Marilyn Evans A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classical Archaeology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor J. Theodore Peña, Chair Professor Christopher Hallett Professor Dylan Sailor Professor Nicola Terrenato Professor Carlos Noreña Spring 2014 Copyright 2014, Jennifer Marilyn Evans Abstract Funerary Ritual and Urban Development in Archaic Central Italy by Jennifer Marilyn Evans Doctor of Philosophy in Classical Archaeology University of California, Berkeley Professor J. Theodore Peña, Chair This dissertation examines the evidence for burial in archaic Rome and Latium with a view to understanding the nature of urban development in the region. In particular, I focus on identifying those social and political institutions that governed relations between city‐ states at a time when Rome was becoming the most influential urban center in the area. I examine the evidence for burial gathered primarily from the past four decades or so of archaeological excavation in order to present first, a systematic account of the data and second, an analysis of these materials. I reveal that a high degree of variation was observed in funerary ritual across sites, and suggest that this points to a complex system of regional networks that allowed for the widespread travel of people and ideas. I view this as evidence for the openness of archaic societies in Latium, whereby people and groups seem to have moved across regions with what seems to have been a fair degree of mobility. -
ITALY, VILLANOVANS and ETRUSCANS Biconical Cinerary
ITALY, VILLANOVANS AND ETRUSCANS Biconical Cinerary Urn with Incised Decoration Etruria, Tarquinia (?), Villanovan, 750-700. BCE Impasto ware 63.15 A and B Museum Purchase The culture of the Villanovans, the Iron Age inhabitants of Etruria, was first uncovered at the small town of Villanova, near Bologna. In the 19th century, archaeologists began excavations here and named the characteristic urnfield culture Villanovan. The name "urnfielders" denotes the burial practices of people who, after cremating their dead, bury the ashes in urns placed in tombs. Villanovan cinerary urns are usually made of impasto ware, the typical, thick-walled, black burnished pottery fabric of the Villanovans. The clay still retains many of the impurities that naturally occur in clay-beds. Impasto pottery is handmade, until the introduction of the potter's wheel ca. 750-700 BCE The Villanovans buried the ashes of their dead in two types of cinerary urns: biconical and hut. The museum's urn is the biconical type, which is so-called from the resemblance of the body to two cones, one inverted on top of the other. Biconical urns are more common than hut urns. The general shape and decoration are fairly standard throughout the region, but the lids in the northern area were covered with a bowl, whereas in the south the Villanovans used a lid made in the shape of a helmet. Sometimes the lids were made of bronze. The museum's lid imitates a bronze bell-shaped helmet. Villanovan urns were buried in small graves. These were rectangular pits, usually lined with stone slabs and covered by a large roof slab.
