Archaeologists found the grave of a child in the necropolis of Osteria

In the ancient Etruscan city of Vulci, which is located in Italy, archaeologists have found a child's grave. The burial was found in the Osteria necropolis. In addition to the remains of a child who died at the age of 10, there were numerous objects in the grave. The greatest interest of historians was attracted by a clay vase decorated with geometric patterns. A similar vase found in a tomb in Mandrione di Cavalupo.

The tomb dates from the end of the VI century BC and is located near the Royal grave. It is probably connected to other burials, given the 27-meter dromos (corridor leading to the burial chamber). The Osteria necropolis is a tourist attraction that occupies a large area of the Vulci nature Park.
