Poggio Civitate (Murlo) Paperback / softback
by Anthony Tuck
Part of the Cities and Communities of the Etruscans series
Paperback / softback
Description
Poggio Civitate in Murlo, Tuscany, is home to one of the best-preserved Etruscan communities of the eighth through the sixth centuries BCE.
In this book, Anthony Tuck, the director of excavations, provides a broad synthesis of decades of data from the site. The results of many years of excavation at Poggio Civitate tell a story of growth, urbanization, ancient industrialization, and dissolution.
The site preserves traces of aristocratic domestic buildings, including some of the most evocative and enigmatic architectural sculpture in the region, along with remnants of non-elite domestic spaces, enabling illuminating comparisons across social strata.
The settlement also features evidence of large-scale production systems, including tools and other objects that reflect the daily experiences of laborers.
Finally, the site contains the story of its own destruction.
Tuck finds in the data clear indications that Poggio Civitate was methodically dismantled, and he posits hypotheses concerning the circumstances around this violent social and political act.
