Italian archaeologists have unearthed the tomb containing the skeleton of what experts believe is an Etruscan prince, who died approximately 2,700 years ago.The rock-cut tomb is located near Tarquinia in Lazio. Its entrance was covered by a large stone slab. When archaeologists removed the slab, they discovered a vaulted chamber containing a skeleton lying on a bed of stone. Ceremonial artefacts including gold jewellery, a spear, a javelin, a bronze basin and Greek Corinthian vases suggest that the remains are those of someone of royal status.
