During recent demolition work of a residential building in the centre of Tivoli (ancient Tibur), a rectangular tomb cut into the local tufa bedrock was found at a depth of 3.20 m. below the present street level.

Abstract

During recent demolition work of a residential building in the centre of Tivoli (ancient Tibur), a rectangular tomb cut into the local tufa bedrock was found at a depth of 3.20 m. below the present street level. Oriented E-W, it contained the poorly preserved bones of the deceased (a woman) and a complete set of grave offerings dating to the last decades of the 7th century B.C. The area had previously been associated with human (funerary) occupation between the late Bronze and early Iron Age, as the presence of pozzetti and impasto sherds reveals. The grave context confirms the existence of a local Orientalizing phase strongly connected with the Falisco-Capenan and Sabine regions, the territory of Gabii and the Alban Hills.
