Iconographic sources and animal bones contribute to our picture of the importance of hunting for the Etruscans. Many Etruscan tomb paintings give an idealized picture of Etruscan hunting practices, as for example in the Tomb of Hunting and Fishing (circa 510 BC) at Tarquinia where there is a continuous panorama of the hunter and fisher and teeming wildlife. By comparison, studies of agriculture show that wild animals formed only a small part of rubbish deposits, except when subject to sacrifice (as at San Giovenale). There is some evidence of elite hunting at Murlo, but information on the animal bones has not yet been effectively published.
