Ceccarelli L.,  Moletti C.,  Bellotto M.,  Dotelli G., Stoddart S. ( 2020),  Compositional characterization of Etruscan earthen architecture and ceramic production, Archaeometry.AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to present the results of new  research into Etruscan technology for earthen architecture as well as  ceramic production in the upper Tiber valley in Central Italy, using as  case‐study the Etruscan settlement of Col di Marzo (Perugia). The study  aims to determine the compositional differences of the raw material  employed as building material and for ceramic production by XRD, TG‐DTG,  FTIR and geotechnical analyses. The research also advances the knowledge of ceramic manufacturing technology, with a focus on impasto  production, at Col di Marzo between the 5th to the mid‐3rd  century BC and the surrounding territory on the left bank of the Tiber.  The compositional analysis of building material compared to the  ceramics provides answers to questions related to their sourcing and  deepens the understanding of the exploitation of natural resources.
