Rituale funerario e cultura materiale nell'Abruzzo interno: il caso di Navelli

The necropolis of Piano at Navelli was excavated during 2013-2014 by the University of Chieti-Pescara “G. d’Annunzio”. In this area, still scarcely known from the archaeological point of view, the campaign brought to light a hundred graves dated between the end of the 7th and the 4th-3rd century BC, deployed around two female burials, whose grave goods (dated to the end of the 7th century BC) suggest an emerging role for the women buried. The 6th century graves are characterized by a certain pattern of grave good composition.
