PODERE TARTUCCHIO
   A two-phase Etruscan farmstead near the Albegna Valley dating to the sixth century BC. It is one of a very few excavated examples, providing information on rural life, including wine production and ceramics. The first phase dated to the late sixth or early fifth century BC and comprised a single-room structure of drystone/pebble walls, flanked by a wooden portico. A short period later, after the destruction of this building, a more complex building of better finish was erected, with several rooms adjoining a courtyard. This is the phase that has evidence for wine production and possibly cheese making.
