 | | When this type of tomb was abandoned, tombs excavated underground, first of all with a single room and then with several chambers, were used. |
| | The tombs excavated completely underground, generally in hillsides, are defined as "hypogeal" tombs, whilst those excavated in flat land and covered by soil and gravel are known as "tumuli". |
| | This new type was characterized by a central chamber accessible from a long passage beyond which there were other chambers. |
