Intact Etruscan tomb discovered
The tomb was discovered by an Italian farmer while plowing a field near Perugia in Umbria. Perhaps the most novel aspect of the find was the fact that the tomb was found to be undisturbed which is an extremely rare event. The tomb has been dated to the end of the 4th century BC and contains a full array of grave goods, and a marble head.
