The Monte Abatone-Necropolis of Cerveteri

埃特鲁里亚城市卡雷/ Cerveteri的Monte abatone墓地是伊特鲁里亚最广泛的墓地之一，面积约为100公顷。这里大多是内室坟墓，其占用时间涵盖了从公元前8世纪到罗马帝国早期的整个城市历史。20世纪50年代，在紧急挖掘中发现了600多座坟墓。然而，这些发现都没有被记录下来。博物馆的杂志中保存了大约6000件来自300多个墓葬的物品；其中只有40篇已经发表。总的目标是调查卡雷大都市区的历史和人口发展、其文化联系和更详细地了解城市人口的社会结构。在第一个资助期取得良好成果的基础上，第二个资助期的目标是：首先，评估和发表2019- 2022年的典型坟墓群的挖掘结果。其次，通过不同的调查和遥感方法，对墓地的地形进行分析，以建立一个可靠的整个区域的规划。最后，完成旧发掘材料的文献整理工作，为最终的分析和出版奠定基础。

The Monte Abatone-Necropolis of the Etruscan city of Caere/ Cerveteri is one of the most extensive Etruscan necropoleis with a surface of about 100 hectares. There are mostly chamber graves, whose occupancy time covers the entire history of the city from the 8th century BC until the early Roman Empire. In the 1950s more than 600 graves were discovered during emergency excavations. However, none of the findings were documented. Roughly 6000 grave goods from more than 300 grave contexts have been preserved in the magazines of the museum; only 40 of these have already been published. The overall objective is to investigate the historical and demographic development of the metropolis of Caere, its cultural contacts and a more detailed knowledge of the social structure of the urban population. Building on the very good results of the first funding period the goals of the second funding period are: at firstly, the evaluation and publication of the excavations of an exemplary cluster of graves from 2019-22. Secondly, the topography of the necropolis shall be analized by means of different survey and remote sensing methods in order to create a reliable plan of the entire area. And lastly, the documentation of the material from the older excavations shall be finished, which will build the base for the final analysis and publication.
