Six characters in search of their lived experience

New frontiers of archaeological research: humanistic and naturalistic investigations at the “monumental complex” of the Civita of Tarquinia.

The meeting delves into new archaeological discoveries and the study of finds from the Tarquinia area. The ancient city, one of the most important Etruscan centers, has always been the subject of excavations curated by the State University of Milan in collaboration with other international research centers, particularly the University of Cambridge. The theme of the meeting is the six “characters,” part of a nucleus of twenty skeletons found in the area of the Civita of Tarquinia, to which scholars have given an identity, deepening and opening new perspectives on the anthropological conditions in the life of this ancient civilization.
