Building remains exhibited similar preservation as that already found to the south, and small finds were also consistent with those from previous seasons. The earliest material found pushes back the site’s date slightly, into the late second century BCE. Despite a rising ground level, excavation again reached the water table.

Maria in Pantano (Massa Martana, PG), excavation has focused on a large structure first observed in crop marks in fall 2008. We have uncovered a large building oriented along the putative Via Flaminia and possessing an apse at its eastern end, the precise function of which remains unclear. Excavation has also uncovered a series of early-medieval burials located just east of the structure.

Recent scholarship has correctly identified it instead as one related to the grain harvest. This article presents a new examination of the scene, pointing out details the importance of which had not previously been noted. It also brings to bear comparanda from Egyptian art which put the identification of the scene beyond doubt.

AD interment discovered at the Vicus ad Martis Tudertium on the western branch of the Via Flaminia in Umbria, Italy. The remains consist of fragmentary os coxae, both lower limbs and feet, and both hands. Skeletal articulation demonstrates that the appendages were fleshed upon interment, with the hands placed above the hips. There is extensive peri-mortem twig peel damage to the medial aspects of the os coxae as if the thorax and sacrum were forcibly separated from the legs at the sacroiliac joint. There is no evidence of cutmarks, nor are there any indications to the location of the upper body. The burial was in a simple, low status sealed cappuccina grave consisting of two ca. 58 cm tiles, with the legs occupying the majority of the grave. The grave cut paralleled the reduced size of the cappuccina, ruling out the possibility of post-depositional disturbance. Bioarchaeological analysis reveals this to be a prime aged male, ca 25-40 yrs of age, taller and more robust than the other individuals recovered from the site. The nature of the remains leads to the possible conclusions that the man suffered a violent injury that tore his body in half, possibly in the form of a military punishment, or there was post-mortem relocation of the body. The rural location and simple grave precludes the possibility of this being a gladiator death. Alternatively, this may represent a previously unknown form of damnatio memoraei.
