After digging for 2 days, Daniele Vitali’s team has finally excavated the tomb of a Celtic warrior with weaponry intact. The sword, sheath, spearheads and javelin are exactly the same as those found in the Celtic tombs of the Northern Alps. However, the presence of Etruscan funerary furnishings (note the bowl in the center) in this same tomb reveal that as early as the 4th century BCE, the native Etruscan population and the Celtic newcomers were already intermingling. As always, before removing the fragile remains, weapons and artifacts from the tomb, the archeologists carefully map how the pieces were found.
