Poggio Civitate, Archaeological site in Murlo, Italy.
Excavations at Poggio Civitate reveal monumental buildings, industrial zones, and residential areas spread across a hilltop in central Tuscany.
The settlement thrived from the 8th to 6th centuries BCE, with three distinct architectural phases showcasing Etruscan civilization development until its abandonment.
The site contains numerous terracotta decorations, pottery pieces, and metalwork items that demonstrate daily life and manufacturing processes of Etruscan society.
Students participate in excavation programs at Poggio Civitate, learning archaeological techniques from experts while documenting and preserving ancient artifacts.
Footprints preserved in clay tiles provide direct evidence of workers engaged in production when a fire destroyed the Orientalizing Complex.
