Bronze statuetteMARZABOTTO, ITALY—According to a Discover Magazine report, a team from University of Bologna found a trove of artifacts, including bronze statuettes, a bronze plaque, and two human skeletons, when they finally reached the bottom of an Etruscan well. The discovery was made at the site of Kainua near Marzabotto, where the university recently completed its 39th campaign. The sacred well was located in the ancient city’s religious precinct near two temples dedicated to Tinia and Uni, the Etruscan equivalent of the Roman god Jupiter and goddess Juno. “The results of this excavation campaign therefore enrich our knowledge of the foundation rites of Etruscan cities and Etruscan religiosity with new, precious details,” Govi said.
