A
number
of
drawings
and
photographs
from
the
end
of
the
last
century,
representing
grave
goods
discovered
during
excavations
at
Narce
in
the
1890s,
have
been
found
in
the
Villa
Giulia
archives.
Only
a
very
small
part
of
the
excavated
material
was
acquired
for
the
Villa
Giulia
Museum;
the
remainder,
known
only
from
the
1894
monograph
on
the
necropoleis
of
Narce,
was
dispersed
on
the
antiquarian
market.
Thanks
to
these
nex
documents,
it
has
been
possible
to
identify
the
contents
of
a
limited
number
of
tombs
as
having
found
their
way
to
the
Archaeological
Museum
of
Florence;
the
finds
from
one
tomb
have
been
traced
to
the
Danish
National
Museum,
in
Copenhagen.
The
photographs
have
also
made
possible
the
reconstruction
a
more
complete
picture
of
some
vast
necropoleis
(Pizzo
Piede,
Monte
Cerreto)
and
to
identify
material
taken
out
of
context
and
scattered
among
different
museums
(Villa
Giulia,
Florence,
Viterbo).
The
photographs
of
lost
grave
goods
have
provided
details
that
shed
light
on
the
culture
of
Narce
between
the
first
half
of
the
7th
and
the
4th
century
B.C.
