The heavy rain storms at the end of January 2003 uncovered several burials within the Enotrian necropolis of contrada San Vito. A rescue excavation recovered 9 burials, all supine depositions, dating to between the 6th century B.C. and the beginning of the 5th century B.C. The burials seem to be mostly female, although two are certainly male, as one contains a spear, the other a sword and a spear. The female burials contained the usual rich array of personal ornaments (earrings, amber necklaces and various types of bronze and iron fibulae). A female burial of 5th century B.C. date also contained a rich assemblage of pottery vessels including many local forms decorated with two coloured geometric patterns in association with the usual imitation Greek forms. Another rich tomb group was that buried with a warrior, comprising a full set of arms (sword, spear, ferrule, axe and hatchet). The grave also contained a set of iron cooking instruments (tongs, skewers and fire-dogs) which together with an imported Tyhrrenian bronze basin served for the ritual consumption of meat. Quite a wide range of pottery vessels, comprising local, imitation and traditional Greek forms, were also present. (Maria Luisa Nava)
