In 2009 a small team of archaeologists began excavating these foundations of a 2300-year-old Etruscan domus (house), located on the main road just below Vetulonia. The team uncovered dry-stone walls, a brick floor, a small terracotta altar, plenty of amphorae and a small fragment of wall fresco. It's thought this is the most intact Etruscan-Roman era villa in existence, and there may be other undiscovered sites nearby.
