Etruscan necropolis of Pedata
Of the 1840 Canon of Chiusi, appassinato of archeology, was able to highlight many tombs in this area, the center one of which recovered the statue called cinerary Matuta Mater.
Later in the spring of 1887 Teresa Pacchiarotti owner of the land effected other excavations highlighting new burials, including the tomb of Narchni Hellenistic urns of alabaster and the urn which contained the statue with Vanth.
Between 1990 and 1996 the local Archaeological Association has scrubbed and visited 21 graves in this cemetery, one of these no. 9 is of considerable architectural interest for the presence of a coffered ceiling din shaped stone and decorated with red color.
Most burials found in this necropolis date from the fifth and fourth and third centuries. a. C. and the furnishings include many Attic vases and bronze objects. Anchenumerosi found the stone cairns fetid decorated with scenes of dancers, banquets, games and mourning funeral.
In the tombs of the fourth century kits maintain their high level for the presence of numerous bronzes and vases decorated sovraddipinta.
In the final decades of the third century. a. C. the tombs at La Pedata are used for burials in urns of alabaster with kits including bronze, black painted pottery of Volterra and local production, and are a sure proof of the importance of this cemetery still in the Hellenistic period.
