Summary (English)
Work on the “Tre Valli” road brought to light two Umbran phase tombs in apparently isolated earth graves. The burials, found one abutting the other on a more or less north-south alignment, contained the remains of two individuals (an adult and a sub-adult) and a wealth of grave-goods. These included metal (a sword, two small scythes, a spear-head and an axe etc) and ceramic artefacts, the later usually placed by the feet and in a niche in the side of the grave. The typology of both burials (earth grave with lateral extension) and the grave goods find precise parallels in the tombs found in Piazza d’Armi at Spoleto, datable to between the end of the 7th century and the first half of the 6th century B.C.
