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.

  • Etruscan Jewelry and Identity
    Chapter 19 Etruscan Jewelry and Identity Alexis Q. Castor 1. Introduction When Etruscan jewelry is found, it is already displaced from its intended purpose. In a tomb, the typical archaeological context that yields gold, silver, ivory, or amber, the ornaments are arranged in a deliberate deposit intended for eternity. They represent neither daily nor special occasion costume, but rather are pieces selected and placed in ways that those who prepared the body, likely women, believed was significant for personal or ritual reasons. Indeed, there is no guarantee that the jewelry found on a body ever belonged to the dead. For an element of dress that the living regularly adapted to convey different looks, such permanence is entirely artificial. Today, museums house jewelry in special cases within galleries, further sep- arating the material from its original display on the body. Simply moving beyond these simu- lations requires no little effort of imagination on the part of researchers who seek to understand how Etruscans used these most personal artifacts. The approach adopted in this chapter draws on anthropological methods, especially those studies that highlight the changing self‐identity and public presentation necessary at different stages of life. As demonstrated by contemporary examples, young adults can pierce various body parts, couples exchange rings at weddings, politicians adorn their lapels with flags, and military veterans pin on medals for a parade. The wearer can add or remove all of these acces- sories depending on how he or she moves through different political, personal, economic, social, or religious settings. Cultural anthropologists who apply this theoretical framework have access to many details of life‐stage and object‐use that are lost to us.

  • A Bucchero Pesante Column Krater in Iowa
    A BUCCHERO PESANTE COLUMN KRATER IN IOWA (Con le tavv. II-VII f. t.) In 1970 the University of Iowa Museum of Art acquired a large column krater said to have come from Vulci (1). It was presented as part of an exhi- bition of ancient Italian pottery from Midwestern collections in 1971 (2). This article describes the krater and then relates it to other vases of similar type attempting to establish a secure date and provenance. The investigation of parallel examples enables us to determine more specifically the nature of « bucchero pesante » production in the Vulci area and its relationship to Etru- scan pottery manufacture at other sites. Plate II illustrates the vase in its present state (3). Minor breaks along (1) I wish to thank Mr. Ulfert Wilke, Director of the Museum of Art, for per- mission to publish the vase. Special thanks are due Prof. Kyle Μ. Phillips, Jr. of Bryn Mawr College, for reading the manuscript and offering helpful suggestions. Photographs of the Iowa krater are by B. Yarborough; drawings in the text are by the author. Sections of this article appeared in a paper entitled, A Sixth Century Bucchero Pesante Column Krater in Iowa presented by the author at the 73rd Conference of the Archaeolo- gical Institute of America at Cincinnati, 1971. An abstract appears in AJA LXXVI, 1972, p. 208. The manuscript was completed in November, 1972. Funds for photographs were supplied by a stipend from the Graduate College of the University of Iowa.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19404-4 - The Barbarians of Ancient Europe: Realities and Interactions Edited by Larissa Bonfante Frontmatter More information THE BARBARIANS OF ANCIENT EUROPE The Barbarians of Ancient Europe deals with the reality of the indigenous peoples of Europe, in contrast to many publications that explore these peo- ples in the context of the Greek idea of “barbarians” as the “Other.” These varied groups – Thracians, Scythians, Celts, Germans, Etruscans, and other peoples of Italy, the Alps, and beyond – had contact with one another and with Greek culture during its fl owering. Images on the spectacular gold and silver objects buried in royal tombs show how the horse-riding nomads and the barbarian women warriors known in antiquity as Amazons saw themselves. Archaeological discoveries show how these “barbarian” peoples dressed, what they ate and drank, where they lived, and how they honored their dead kings with barbaric splendor and human sacrifi ces, allowing us to change, correct, or confi rm the picture given in Greek and Roman literature. Larissa Bonfante is Professor of Classics Emerita at New York University. A member of the American Philosophical Society and the German Archaeological Institute and President of the U.S. Section of the Istituto di Studi Etruschi, she is the author of Etruscan Dress , Etruscan Life and Afterlife: A Handbook of Etruscan Studies , and The Etruscan Language: An Introduction (with Giuliano Bonfante); coeditor of The World of Roman Costume ; and coauthor of Etruscan Myths . ©

    - LANDSCAPE, ETHNICITY AND IDENTITY LANDSCAPE, ETHNICITY AND IDENTITY IN THE ARCHAIC MEDITERRANEAN AREA LANDSCAPE, ETHNICITY AND IDENTITY The main concern of this volume is the multi-layered IN THE ARCHAIC MEDITERRANEAN AREA concept of ethnicity. Contributors examine and contextualise contrasting definitions of ethnicity and identity as implicit in two perspectives, one from the classical tradition and another from the prehistoric and anthropological tradition. They look at the role of textual sources in reconstructing ethnicity and introduce fresh and innovative archaeological data, either from fieldwork or from new combinations of old data. Finally, in contrast to many traditional approaches to this subject, they examine the relative and interacting AREA MEDITERRANEAN ARCHAIC THE IN role of natural and cultural features in the landscape in the construction of ethnicity. The volume is headed by the contribution of Andrea Carandini whose work challenges the conceptions of many in the combination of text and archaeology. He begins by examining the mythology surrounding the founding of Rome, taking into consideration the recent archaeological evidence from the Palatine and the Forum. Here primacy is given to construction of place and mythological descent. Anthony Snodgrass, Robin Osborne, Tim Cornell and Christopher Smith offer replies to his arguments. Overall, the nineteen papers presented here show that a modern interdisciplinary and international archaeology that combines material data and textual evidence – critically – can provide a powerful lesson for the full understanding of the ideologies of ancient and modern societies G.
