La necropoli di Monte Abatone dalle indagini della Fondazione Lerici ai nuovi scavi: verso una ricomposizione del quadro culturale

A short picture is presented of the archaeological discoveries and geophysical researches carried out at the Monte Abatone necropolis (Caere) by the Lerici Foundation in the 1950s, and of the later start of the ‘Monte Abatone Project’, aiming to set up a complete edition of all the funerary contexts brought to light by Lerici. Wide space is devoted to the new field researches in the western part of the necropolis, close to the Campana Tumulus, and on its borders: the discoveries make it able to focus on methods of occupation of the space of the necropolis, and to sketch a new picture of the sequence and diffusion of some tomb types.
