Research

The Etruscan Tomb Survey is composed of multiple teams, but principally, a field team active during the summer and an architectural analyst team of graduate and advanced undergraduate students during the academic year.

​

During the academic year, our architectural analysts use these LiDAR scans to research and document the tombs.

​

The application of LiDAR allows for more detailed study and comparisons than on-site analysis can afford.  Additionally, through 3D modeling, we can unpack the full architectural complexity of these tombs.

​

We are currently working towards a publication of the tombs at Cerveteri.
