Frontmatter -- CONTENTS -- ILLUSTRATIONS -- FOREWORD -- PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS -- Maps -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Early and Middle Etruscan Periods (Seventh-Fourth Centuries BCE) -- 3. Late Etruscan Phase I (ca. 300-150 BCE) -- 4. Late Etruscan Phase II (ca. 150-75/50 BCE) -- 5. The Wells of Cetamura -- 6. Roman Cetamura (ca. 50 BCE to Late Antiquity) -- 7. Cetamura as a Community -- 8. Cetamura after Antiquity -- APPENDIX. A Timeline of History for Cetamura del Chianti -- NOTES -- REFERENCES -- INDEX
Summary: Expanding the study of Etruscan habitation sites to include not only traditional cities but also smaller Etruscan communities, Cetamura del Chianti examines a settlement that flourished during an exceptional time period, amid wars with the Romans in the fourth to first centuries BCE. Situated in an ideal hilltop location that was easy to defend and had access to fresh water, clay, and timber, the community never grew to the size of a city, and no known references to it survive in ancient writings; its ancient name isn't even known. Because no cities were ever built on top of the site, excavation is unusually unimpeded. Intriguing features described in Cetamura del Chianti include an artisans' zone with an adjoining sanctuary, which fostered the cult worship of Lur and Leinth, two relatively little known Etruscan deities, and ancient wells that reveal the cultural development and natural environment, including the vineyards and oak forests of Chianti, over a period of some six hundred years. Deeply enhancing our understanding of an intriguing economic, political, and cultural environment, this is a compelling portrait of a singular society.
