Abstract
In 2010 during an inspection for photographic purposes in the area of Guado di Sferracavallo, a rock hewn Etruscan tomb from the Hellenistic period was discovered. Since then three excavation campaigns have been conducted: the last being concluded at the end of July 2015. The area investigated is characterized by the presence of two tombs; the first with a decoration on the facade representing an Etruscan house and the typical features of those ridged roof tombs mainly found in the necropolis of Blera. The second, a few meters away, is much simpler both in structure and in the poorly preserved pediment decoration. In both tombs the funerary artifacts were recovered intact and helped to date the tombs from the late IV to the III centuries BC. The artifacts in both tombs are similar although the objects from tomb GDS 02 are smaller. Above the facade of tomb GDS 01 are a series of structures which suggest the existence, in the Guado di Sferracavallo area, of a real funeral complex of great interest which necessitates further excavations and study in order to clarify the structures and to put them under protection from theft and further destructive actions.
