CIVITA DEL FOSSO DI ARLENA
- CIVITA DEL FOSSO DI ARLENA
A naturally fortified Archaic settlement located on a tuff spur of 6.3 hectares in size (477 meters above sea level) to the east of Bolsena Lake, in close association with the tuff outcrop of La Capriola, containing a cemetery area. A smaller-walled area of two hectares may have been fortified, particularly in a monumental phase of the sixth century BC. The Civita was first occupied in the Villanovan period. Its occupation may have taken place after the abandonment of the nearby Gran Carro. The Civita was abandoned in the first half of the third century BC. The smaller area of La Capriola was occupied by settlement in the Middle, Recent, and Final Bronze Ages.
