Tumulus of Montefortini, Etruscan archaeological site in Comeana, Tuscany, Italy.
The Tumulus of Montefortini features an oval mound measuring 80 meters in length and 11 meters in height, containing two burial chambers within its structure.
Archaeological excavations in 1966 uncovered a central tholos tomb and a rectangular chamber tomb, both dating back to the seventh century BCE.
The tombs contained numerous artifacts including a turquoise glass bowl and carved ivory objects, indicating the wealth and international connections of Etruscan aristocracy.
The archaeological site offers guided tours on the first Saturday of each month, with artifacts from both tombs displayed in the Archaeological Museum of Artimino.
The rectangular chamber tomb incorporates a monumental entrance hall and a quadrangular cell with roof slabs forming a false vault construction technique.
