The home: daily life and domestic activities

The typical dwelling in etruscan-celtic hamlet of Monte Bibele was a quadrangular room, about 4 x 8 m, with two distinct living levels: a ground floor, which was the actual living area, partially marked out by sandstone rubble walls, with a back wall usually dug right out of the hillside, and an upper-storey loft for accessory purposes.
