On a weekly basis people of all backgrounds and various points of view are contributing to a vibrant conversation about the Humanities and their place in our current culture. Scholars, public officials, journalists, and commentators debate whether the true benefit of the humanities resides in their inherent and intrinsic value or in their proven capacity to help people develop skills and talents that improve their professional prospects and benefit the organizations they serve.

Over the last two decades, excavations at this Etrusco-Roman settlement have uncovered evidence of habitation of the site from at least the 9th century BCE through the renaissance when the site was destroyed by mudslides. Among its interesting features are sanctuary walls from the Etruscan period to the Roman. The Etruscan wall, dated from ceramics and construction to the 6th century BCE, was surmounted by a series of inverted large pots (dolia) referred to as ziros. In this part of Etruria, these finds frequently indicate a space that is sacred to gods of the dead.
