Poggio Civitate preserves considerable evidence of large-scale industry during the mid to late seventh century BCE. Excavation of a large production center on the site's Piano del Tesoro plateau has produced evidence of thriving traditions of ceramic and terracotta production, bronze working, small-scale carving as well as food processing. Consideration of the evidence connected to various types of material production at the site suggests that many facets of manufacturing were guided by seasonal and episodic factors and largely locally consumed rather than created for export.

This paper reassesses the architectural setting of a group of monumental buildings dating to the sixth century bc from the Etruscan area of central Italy, sometimes referred to as palaces, or palazzi. Although scholars traditionally have focused on classifying the buildings, the architectural form is here examined through close comparative analysis of spatial mechanics and movement. Focusing on case-studies from Poggio Civitate (Murlo) and Acquarossa, the author reconstructs the architectural processes of movement, particularly between the exterior and interior spaces arranged around a characteristic courtyard, and concludes that the structures are indicative of a unique Etruscan experience rather than that of Mediterranean palaces more generally. The author calls for a shift away from attempts to categorize these monumental structures in favour of a close analysis of spatial experience in order to explore better their architectural impact and function.
