The Etruscans
www.agmen.com/etruscans/

Hello There! Let me introduce myself: my name is Larth the Etruscan, navigator, merchant and warrior. Don't be deceived by my meek appearance: I've had so many adventures that when I tell you about them over a goblet of wine, you'll be amazed. Like the time I put a whole gang of Celtic barbarians to flight and...

A new theory of the origin and language of the Etruscans.

ONLINE GRAMMARS

After ten years of work on the elusive Etruscan Scripts, in 1981 I published a book called, "Catalog of Etruscan Words". In the book I gathered all of the Etruscan scripts which were then extant and broke down the scripts into familiar words and phrases. Using a matrix I listed words which were common among the scripts, and using those words, which were often with repetitive phrases, such as one would find in noun plus epithet structures, i.e.: in liturgical use or in the Iliad, I isolated other words and phrases.

"It is one of the most important documents for the length of the text as well as for the number of words contained therein. It is a manuscript, found in Egypt on the bands of a mummy, and presently conserved in the National Museum of Zagreb (Croatia). It is also the only example of a book written on linen cloth (hence the Latin name Liber Linteus). Moreover, it is the only Etruscan book handed down to posterity.

The Etruscans
home.att.net/~oko/etruscan.htm

It seems that there is no need to write an introduction because there are so many books about Etruscans that describe their art, history, religion and every day life.  But even by reading the books, the Etruscan mysteries continue to be hidden. Why? It seems that every detail in Roman history and political life was recorded, why not about Etruscan? The excavated artifacts testify of their great culture at that time. But even that is not the biggest mystery. The biggest mystery is the fact that Romans were sending their sons to the Etruscan school and every one of them after graduation mysteriously forgot Etruscan language and who were they.

The Etruscan-Roman excavations of Poggio Moscini
www.pelagus.it/bolsena/eng/volse.html

The remains of the Etruscan-Roman city of Volsinii have come to light near the castle, about 100 meters from the Rocca Monaldeschi. They are surrounded by a remarkable 4 kilometers long defence wall, built of large geometrical blocks of tufo. The suurounding hills, especially in the areas of Poggio Sala, Ospedaletto, Vietana, Pantanesca, Gazzetta and Piazzano, are dotted with necropoli made up of chamber and ditch tombs dating between the 3rd century b.C. and the 4th a.C..

The present excavations at Poggio Colla (Tuscany, Italy) began in the summer of 1995 under the overall direction of Gregory Warden, Southern Methodist University, and Susan Kane, Oberlin College. The excavations have revealed an Etruscan settlement that dates from the seventh to the third century BC.

Istituto per l'Archeologia Etrusco-Italica
soi.cnr.it/~iaei/

Nel 1970 fu istituito il Centro di studio per l’archeologia etrusco-italica sotto la direzione di Massimo Pallottino, con un programma di ricerca volto alla promozione della conoscenza del mondo etrusco nei suoi molteplici aspetti storico, artistico, linguistico, e in seguito di quelli della Sabina e del Lazio antico. Dal 1982 al 1997 la direzione del Centro, divenuto intanto nel 1990 Istituto, è stata affidata a Mauro Cristofani: nuove ricerche si sono aggiunte, in particolare la ricognizione e gli scavi nell’area urbana di Cerveteri e la creazione di un settore di ricerca dedicato alle applicazioni informatiche in archeologia.
