“…In most cases where human remains have been found in connection with battlefields or scenes of brutal violence, the bodies have been buried in mass graves (e.g. Ingelmark 1939; Biers 1992; Fiorato et al 2000; Kjellström 2005; Štefan et al 2016). This is not the case at Sandby borg, where victims were instead left where they had been killed.…”

“…They are primary sources of information about various aspects of ancient life: private, public, and religious; economic and technological; social and artistic. They are, indirectly, also essential in archaeology for establishing the chronology of the finds under investigation (Biers 1992). For this reason pottery studies are a principal area of archaeological expertise (Orton and Hughes 2013).…”

The Archaeology of Etruscan Society

The late sixth century was a period of considerable change in Etruria; this change is traditionally seen as the adoption of superior models from Greece. In a re-alignment of agency, this 2007 book examines a wide range of Etruscan material culture - mirrors, tombs, sanctuaries, houses and cities - in order to demonstrate the importance of local concerns in the formation of Etruscan material culture. Drawing on theoretical developments, the book emphasises the deliberate nature of the smallest of changes in material culture form, and develops the concept of surface as a unifying key to understanding the changes in the ways Etruscans represented themselves in life and death. This concept allows a uniquely holistic approach to the archaeology of Etruscan society and has the potential for other archaeological investigations. The book will interest all scholars and students of classical archaeology.
