The research context
The South (east) Etruria area north of Rome is one of the most
significant areas for the formation of European civilisation.
This was the arena of Etruscan state formation (Veii) and Roman
expansion against rivals (Etruscans and Faliscans) to the
north.
A series of inter-related projects are enhancing knowledge of
this region which has the been a focus of investigation by the
British School at Rome since the beginning of the twentieth
century. The department of archaeology in Cambridge has
participated in the Tiber valley project, and provided the
principal investigators for the Nepi Project and the Mapping the
Lower Tiber catchment project.
Principal publications involving Cambridge participants:
