Narce

A settlement site on the Treia gorge near Calcata in Lazio, Italy, surrounded by an extensive necropolis, and probably inhabited from the 12th century BC. Occupation was mainly by Faliscans, an Indo-European Italic group, and it is therefore associated with their centers at Falerii and Capena. The town prospered under Etruscan domination in the 7th and 6th centuries BC. Material evidence seems in general to follow a local (Faliscan) cultural sequence. Evidence survives for fortification walls, pit and trench burials, and chamber tombs with monumental doorways. Occupation continued to the 4th-3rd centuries BC.

A settlement on the Treia gorge near Calcata in Lazio, Italy, surrounded by extensive necropolis, and probably inhabited from the 12th century BC. Essentially occupation seems to have been by Faliscans, an Indo-European Italic group, and therefore the site is to be associated with their centres at Falerii Veteres (modem Civita Castellana), 9 km away. The town appears to have enjoyed its greatest prosperity under Etruscan domination in the 7th and 6th centuries bc. Material evidence seems in general to follow a local (Faliscan) cultural sequence. Evidence survives for fortification walls, pit and trench burials, and chamber tombs with monumental doorway. The latest material seems to be 4th to (possibly) 3rd century bc. Some tomb material is to be found in the Museo di Villa Giulia at Rome.
