      Tanaquil, 

      Thanks for that book reference. I also have quite a lot of information on 
      Spina under  my Etruscan Engineering and Agriculture page : 
      http://pages.ancientsites.com/~Camitlnas_Tullius/eng.html 

      During the chat, you talked about touring the Etruscan cities with your 
      daughter some years ago. Perhaps you could tell us about your impressions. 
      Do you have any pictures? 

      Many of us have never visited that part of the world , and unfortunately I 
      include myself in that number. I have to rely on museum exhibitions etc. 

      So what were your impressions with the tombs in particular? Were they 
      claustrophobic? damp? musty ? Did you take any pictures while there ? 

      Why not make it a serialised account of your travels through Etruscany :) 
      - That's not a bad word actually because Etruria really only refers to 
      modern Tuscany, and parts of Lazio and Umbria, and doesn't reflect the 
      full territory of the Rasenna.
