Stop-motion video of the archaeological dig at Baratti, Tuscany with the archaeological group Archeodig.
The necropolis of the San Cerbone, Baratti is one of the most important cemeteries of the ancient Etruscan city, Populonia.
The dig section depicted in this video is that of a Tumulus Tomb, probably dating back to the 7th century BCE. A tumulus tomb usually consists of a large circular earth mound atop a stone 'drum' with a rectangular almost square burial chamber with in. The burial chamber is most often laid out in the style of a bedroom with stone slab 'beds' where the interred would be laid. - See more at: [ Ссылка ]
