Want to See Mordor? Sorry, More Door? #doorsday

No, this little door is not in the Shire. We're in Giardini Margherita in Bologna. This little hut is a reconstruction of a Villanovian dwelling. The Villanovians (900-550 BCE) are the first Etruscan inhabitants of the Bologna we know today. This is probably also the only house in Bologna that AirB&B don't have their grubby little hands on... yet.

Italian police recover looted Etruscan sarcophagi

Italian authorities have successfully recovered a remarkable collection of Etruscan artifacts, valued at $8.4 million, following an investigation that unraveled an amateur attempt to sell these treasures on the black market. The items, dating back to the third century BCE, were looted from a necropolis in Città della Pieve, Umbria, and included sarcophagi, funerary urns, and personal items of significant archaeological importance.

The investigation, led by Italy’s Carabinieri Cultural Heritage Protection Unit, began last April when photos of the artifacts surfaced online. The collection featured eight intricately decorated stone urns, two sarcophagi, and funerary items like bronze mirrors, a bone comb, and a perfume bottle, all believed to have belonged to the Pulfna family—a wealthy and influential Etruscan lineage.

Made a small update, publishing excavation data and associated documentation from the 2024 field season at Poggio Civitate (south of Siena, Italy). Here's a map of the new records (and click on the "Item Records" tab to see individual excavation contexts and artifacts).

This project runs a field-school and much of the work was done by student archaeologists.

A quick test of this "bridge" to BlueSky set up. Does this #Etruscan ivory (or bone) plaque show up over on that other social media platform?
