Summary (English)
Norchia (VT): This previously unknown rock-cut a casetta tomb, dating to the 4th-3rd century B.C., was discovered in 2010 during a survey of the area of Guado di Sferracavallo.
Since then three excavation campaigns have taken place, the latest completed in July 2015. The excavated area was characterised by the presence of two adjacent tombs: the first in the form of a house with sloped roof and a fake door at the centre. The second, a few metres away, had a simpler structure and the decoration on the façade was in a bad state of preservation. Both tombs contained grave goods, datable to between the late 4th and the 3rd centuries B.C. The similarities, both in the forms and decoration of the objects may suggest that this was a single funerary complex (but this needs further study) flanking the other multiple tombs, mainly robbed, in this part of the Norchia necropolis.
