In the joint excavation project at the Monte Abatone necropolis of Cerveteri, the participating partners have continued and expanded the excavations in the southwestern part of the necropolis near the Tumulus Campana, which started in 2018. The aim was to complete the investigation of a cluster of early small tumuli as well as to examine some larger burial structures in the area, detected by previous geophysical investigations. Altogether, 15 new graves were examined as well as some anomalies in the geophysical survey east and north of the Tumulus Campana. Additionally, a survey campaign has been carried out to study more open visible burial structures at the western slope of the plateau, including a tomb-lined access to the plateau at the northern limit of the necropolis.

Abstract
In the joint excavation project at the Monte Abatone necropolis of Cerveteri, the participating partners have continued and expanded the excavations in the southwestern part of the necropolis near the Tumulus Campana, which started in 2018. The aim was to complete the investigation of a cluster of early small tumuli as well as to examine some larger burial structures in the area, detected by previous geophysical investigations. Altogether, 15 new graves were examined as well as some anomalies in the geophysical survey east and north of the Tumulus Campana. Additionally, a survey campaign has been carried out to study more open visible burial structures at the western slope of the plateau, including a tomb-lined access to the plateau at the northern limit of the necropolis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
