After digging for 2 days, Daniele Vitali’s team has finally excavated the tomb of a Celtic warrior with weaponry intact. The sword, sheath, spearheads and javelin are exactly the same as those found in the Celtic tombs of the Northern Alps.  However, the presence of Etruscan funerary furnishings in this same tomb reveal that as early as the 4th century BCE, the native Etruscan population and the Celtic newcomers were already intermingling. The weapons, now as fragile as glass after 2000 years of oxidation, are careful exhumed by French archeologist Gilles Van Heems on their way to the restoration lab.
