AMBER

AMBER
   This fossil resin was imported from the Baltic region from as early as the Bronze Age and employed to decorate fibulae and other objects in the Etruscan period. The use of amber was particularly rich in the ninth to the seventh century BC when it was employed extensively in the personal adornment of rich burials. In the early part of this period, Verucchio appears to have been a prominent settlement for processing and distribution. Amber was employed for earrings, fibulae, pendants, beads, and buttons, among other uses. In the eighth century BC, Veii became an important place for the production of scarabs and stylized human and animal figures. In the seventh century BC, production appears to have moved to Vetulonia. In the sixth century BC, the fashion seems to have moved to the settlements of Bologna, Marzabotto, and Spina in the Po Valley.
   See also TRADE.
