The Tomba Åström and the 1969 excavations at San Giovenale

By Mattia D’Acri (Princeton University) & Fredrik Tobin-Dodd (Swedish Institute of Classical Studies in Rome)

Abstract

In June 1969, Paul Åström and a group of students from the Swedish Institute of Classical Studies in Rome conducted a small series of excavations at San Giovenale, an Etruscan site in the inland between Cerveteri and Tarquinia. The material was unpublished until now, but a study of the finds and archival material suggests that it primarily comes from a chamber tomb constructed in the second half of the 7th century BC, in the late Orientalizing period, and probably used for several burials.
