	Archaeologic and Historic Background of the Etruscan Culture
		The lid of the urn was sometimes a pottery imitation of a helmet, either the knobbed bell helmet of eastern central Europe or the crested helmet of northern Europe, the Villanovan helmet par excellence.
		In the second half of the 8th century the Villanovans of Tuscany were influenced artistically by Greece; also, inhumation became the predominant burial rite, as it did during the same period in Greece.
		The northern Villanovans of the Po Valley, however, continued to produce a geometric art as late as the last quarter of the 6th century, when Etruscan expansion obliterated their culture.

		One has to cast doubt on the fact that if the Etruscans were immigrants from the Aegean that the Villanovans would not have taken kindly to Etruscan communities near their own, though the Romans did live in close proximity with the Sabines with mixed results.
		The best explanation is that as the Villanovans became more advanced they saw the need to re-construct their communities anew (in a planned fashion), while slowly phasing out the former and less-developed community locations.
		One form of continuity between the Villanovans and the Etruscans is to be found in the funerary depictions of the deceased at meals.

	Etruscans - Crystalinks
		The Villanovan culture, the earliest Iron Age culture of central and northern Italy, gave way in the 7th century to an increasingly orientalizing culture that was influenced by Greek traders and Greek neighbors in Magna Graecia, the Hellenic civilization of southern Italy.
		And this is, in fact, the duration of the period of political independence of the Etruscans, if we consider the time from the Villanovan phase to the beginning of the I century b.C., that is when the Etruscans obtained the civitas, the Roman citizenship.
		On the contrary, the Etruscans had a relationship with the gods based on submission: the divinities lived in the sky or under the ground and it was necessary to understand their will by observing the ostenta, the signs that, through the haruspex and the augur priests, indicated the behavior one had to have.

		The Villanovans inhabited the northern and western regions of Italy from the Bronze Age.
		The Villanovans are considered to be the ancestors of the Etruscans, because of the many artifacts found in Villanovan graves which relate to Etruscan objects.
		A Villanovan helmet, now in the Museo Nazionale di Villa Giulla in Rome, has decorative motifs similar to an Etruscan fibula in the Musei Vaticani, Rome.

	Expeditions in Learning
		The mysterious Etruscan neighbors began as the Villanovans, appearing as Balkan immigrants in the north of Italy and in Romania, and on the west coast at Tarquinii, perhaps in the tenth century BC.
		The Villanovans were warriors with fine armor and horses; they were also farmers and had wheeled vehicles.
		The new immigrants transformed the simple agrarian Villanovans into Etruscans, an urban nation of craftsmen and traders, with a network of cities that stretched from the Po River in the north to the Tiber in Latium.

		The so-called Villanovans (named after a modern town near Bologna) were the Iron age predecessors of the Etruscans.
		They are thought to have settled the area of Etruria, roughly modern Tuscany, by the 11th century BC.
		By the fourth century BC the Villanovans were assimilated by the Etruscans and overcome by the neighboring Gauls.

	PlanetPapers - The position of the Etruscans in late prehistory
		Using these sources along with the sparse but fascinating archaeological evidence that does exist, we are able to establish life in Etruria in late prehistory, tracking their influence on the development of Celtic (Gaul) and Roman societies before they were eventually subjugated by the Roman Empire.
		In the Bronze Age, 900 ï¿½ 700 BCE the Italian peninsula was settled by a group of small-scale agriculturalists, known to archaeologists as the Villanovans.
		Whether this resulted from an adoption of new ideas by the Villanovans (Scullard, 1967) or from a migration of peoples from Lydia, Asia Minor, is unclear.

		The artifacts found in Picene sites, arriving from diverse and distant regions, the affinity between the Picene and the trans-Adriatic Illyrians, and the depictions of their ships, all attest to the Picene being primarily a seafaring people.

	Villanovan culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Villanovan culture was the earliest Iron Age culture of central and northern Italy, abruptly following the Bronze Age Terramare culture and giving way in the 7th century BCE to an increasingly Orientalizing culture influenced by Greek traders, which was followed without a severe break by the Etruscan civilization.

		A student organization called Villanovans for Life spearheaded a drive to buy a statue of the Virgin Mary and Jesus as the centerpiece of a centrally located memorial for what it calls the 'victims of abortion' - provoking an emotional debate on campus.
		'Villanovans for Life could at least have the consideration to stop claiming to help those they are clearly offending by putting up this statue.'
		Yesterday, the university's board of trustees ducked the controversy for the time being by delaying a vote on approving the sculpture until its next meeting in June.

		Today these items, which have answered many questions about the Villanovans can be seen in the Civic Archeology Museum, housed in the ancient monastery of Sant'Agostino.
		Verucchio was one of the first commercial colonies, governed by a warrior oligarchy of clear Etruscan origin, which prospered thanks to the flowering commerce along the Adriatic coast.

		Scullard (1967) notes that the Villanovans were not a single cultural group but a label used by archeologists to describe a large collection of cultural groups living during the Iron Age.
		Northern Villanovans were living in the modern provinces of Bologna, Faenza, Forli, and Ravenna; Etruscans eventually occupied these areas.
		Evidence of Villanovan culture is also found in Southern Italy – in Eturia, Latium and Campania.

	DelcoTimes - Spencer: Villanova statue lacks controversial punch
		But for Lauren’s explanation, there is nothing in the bronze sculpture itself that would inform anyone that "abortion" was on the mind of the sculptor when he made it.
		A quick trip to the Villanovans for Life Web site shows the group is willing to put its money where its mouth is. It has adopted and is sending money to support a little girl in Soura, India, named Sabita Nayak.
		As for the memorial, I guess it’s not surprising that given the statue’s sponsors, a handful of campus pro-choicers might react negatively to it.

	Omens/ Portents - Translation
		Even if we accept the current theory that the Etruscans were largely autochthenous, that they may have migrated from the East at some time towards the end of the Bronze age, that they had considerable cultural influences which transformed the Villanovan people into the Etruscans, we still have the question of language.
		Did the Villanovans speak a form of Etruscan, or was the language brought by subsequent migrations?
		The true Villanovan culture didn't come in until around thr 10th Century, and coincided roughly with what was to become the Etruscan area.

	Etruscans and Origins
		Etruscans were the long time residents, i.e., the culture that is now known as Villanovan (named after the modern Italian site, Villanova di Castenaso, east of Bologna, where it was first identified in 1853 excavations) who may have been subject to oriental or Greek influences, but were certainly not those orientals or Greeks.
		Some folks say that cremation was a defining characteristic of "Etruscanism", and maintain out that the Villanovans practiced inhumation rather than incineration.
		The suggestion that they may have arrived in the late Bronze Age would suggest that they are the proto-Villanovans from whom the Iron Age Villanovans developed.
