Beskrivning
This volume brings together leading scholars of Etruria to provide up-to-date findings from the key archaeological site of Kainua. Located in what is now the Italian town of Marzabotto, Kainua is the only Etruscan site whose complete urban layout has been preserved, making it possible to trace houses, roads, drainage systems, cemeteries, craft workshops, and an acropolis.Under excavation since the 1850s, Kainua offers a trove of insights into Etruscan culture and society. The volume’s editor, Elisabetta Govi, and her fellow experts examine the material evidence underlying our understanding of the history, economy, religion, and social structures of Kainua, including trade routes that linked the city with the wider Mediterranean. Particularly exciting are recent discoveries of sanctuaries dedicated to Tinia and Uni, analogous to the Greek Zeus and Hera, which provide new information about Etruscan cults. Kainua (Marzabotto) also draws on the latest research to reconstruct the city’s foundation rites, a sacred charter, and urban plan. Finally, the authors explore the site’s archaeological history, discussing new knowledge made possible since the introduction of modern techniques of remote sensing and 3D modeling.

Recensioner i media

Kainua (Marzabotto) is a practical and easily accessible summary of knowledge about this Etruscan city. Marzabotto is still a model for understanding various aspects of Etruscan cities,  particularly those founded in later periods. Through the study of material culture, understood in its multiple aspects, the history of the city and its social components, the development of domestic and religious architecture, and the city's social and economic organization are reconstructed.- Luca Cappuccini, professor of Etruscology and scientific director of the University of Florence archeological excavations at Monte Giovi, San Germano e Gonfienti The material in Kainua (Marzabotto) is a gold mine for archaeologists and students of ancient architectural history as well as for Etruscologists. The work of Elisabetta Govi and her predecessor, Giuseppe Sassatelli, has gone a long way toward making Marzabotto understood as a more complex place than it had originally been thought to be. This is the first comprehensive study in English of this critically important gateway Etruscan community of the Bologna area.- David Soren, editor emeritus of Etruscan Studies
