Roman Necropolis, Carmona, Andalusia, Spain, Europe
The Necropolis of Carmona was discovered between 1868 and 1869 by accident when they were going to make a construction of a road. At first he suffered excavations without control by antiquarians and collectors, until in 1881 the historian Juan Fernandez Lopez, along with the English archaeologist Jorge Bonsor, confirms that there is a necropolis was, since studies to parts found matching funeral rituals that were made in the Roman emperor Claudius. Both, along with Luis Reyes Calabazo, buy the land from Campo de las Canteras and the Field of Olives, organized a scientific excavations, and create the Archaeological Society of Carmona. The Museum of the Necropolis, the first site museum of Spain, was opened in 1887. The site is dated around the first century BC to the second century of our era. It is thought by the time it was dated the form of burial was incineration. We can see that there excavations in the soil, and its red walls, is where cremations took place. We note that the bottom of these excavations were two levels, as the deepest and smallest level is where the ashes are then collected for them in small boxes were concentrated. The polls that we see are of different materials, it is thought that depending on the purchasing power of households, would be of a material or another, also depending on the situation of the family, the polls were more decorative than others. We also found inscriptions who owned these graves. The graves we find there are different ways, the character common to them is that they are excavations, for his religious beliefs, it's a way to get closer to the world of the dead. Access to the tombs of species of wells, depending on the graves had stairs, made or put them to access was made, as in some of these tombs built note that there are stairs, but simply observe the hole where they agreed to tomb. What we see inside them is that it is a small room, one or two square meters, where the wall were excavated small niches where the urns were placed and underneath a kind of bench or table where funeral offerings would be placed. It is thought, by the remains found that the graves were closed, in some cases for doors, as shown as slots of the existence of these doors, or simply closed with large stones. With the dead were buried material things that belonged to him in life. Also found in some statues graves are supposed to be the image of the deceased, as funerary faces, that they were the dead pouring wax or something similar in the face and after a while, performing the head were found, I was going preceding the funeral took him to court when incinerated. The tombs generally belonged to a family, but note that some may have been two, they emerge as a wall that divides it in two. The most prominent are the Tomb of Servilia, the Tomb of the Elephant and the Tomb Circular. Names that have been put to him by the way, so found them or because it is the family that was there.
Roman Amphitheatre, Carmona, Andalusia, Spain, Europe
The amphitheatre was located opposite the Necropolis, near the Via Augusta; George Bonsor and Juan Fernández López began to excavate it in 1885. The amphitheater arena has survived, as well as the ima cavea (the first row of bleachers, for the senatorial and equestrian classes) and the media cavea (for the middle classes) which were carved into the rock, while the summa, the only freestanding part of the grandstand built, has disappeared. The arena measures 55 m in its longer axis and 39m in the shorter. The existence of a Roman theatre in Carmona has been debated for many years. Bonsor thought the amphitheatre served the functions of both. However, in 1995, an impressive section of a block wall for the foundation of a building of great magnitude was exposed in General Freire Street. Certain features, such as its structural characteristics, size, location in the city, and the topography, suggest the presence of a theatre, though this is still hypothetical as of 2012.

Necropolis of Banditaccia, Cerveteri, Roma, Lazio, Italy, Europe
The necropolis of Banditaccia is an Etruscan necropolis located on a tufaceous rise northwest of Cerveteri, in the province of Rome. The necropolis covers about 400 hectares and there are many thousands of burials (the fenced and visitable part represents only 10 hectares of extension and has about 400 tumuli), from the oldest of the Villanovan period (IX century BC) to the most recent from the Etruscan period (3rd century BC). Its origin is to be found in a nucleus of Villanovian tombs in the Cava della Pozzolana locality, and the name Banditaccia derives from the fact that from the end of the nineteenth century the area was banned, that is rented by tender, from the landowners of Cerveteri to favor of the local population. Given its grandeur, the Necropolis of Banditaccia is the largest ancient necropolis in the Mediterranean area. The oldest burials are Villanovian (from the ninth century BC to the eighth century BC), and are characterized by the shape of a well, where the ashes of the deceased were kept, or from the pits for burial. From the 7th century BC, the Etruscan period, there are two types of burial, those with a mound and those with a dice. The latter consist of a long line of tombs regularly lined up along sepulchral streets. In the visitable part of the Necropolis of Banditaccia there are two of these streets, Via dei Monti Ceriti and Via dei Monti della Tolfa, dating back to the 6th century BC The tumulus burials are characterized by a circular tuff-like structure that encloses a representation of the house of the deceased, complete with a corridor (dromos) to access the various rooms. The wealth of details in the interior of these graves has allowed archaeologists to learn about the Etruscan home uses.
For this purpose the best burial appears to be the tomb of the Reliefs, dating back to the 4th century BC and belonged to the family of the Matunas, as we read in the inscriptions: the inside of the tomb was kept in particularly good conditions, allowing to observe also the frescoes on the walls and on the columns. The most recent burials are from the 3rd century BC Many of the finds found in the necropolis are collected in the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia in Rome and in many other museums scattered all over the world, while only a small part of the funeral objects found loco is kept in the National Cerite Museum. Since July 2004, the necropolis of Banditaccia, along with that of the Monterozzi of Tarquinia, has become part of the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
