New research in the roman villa and late roman infant and child cemetery at poggio gramignano (Lugnano in teverina, umbria, Italy)

Begun in the Summer of 2016, the Villa Romana di Poggio Gramignano Archaeological Project – a partnership between the Soprintendenza Archeologia dell’Umbria, the University of Arizona, and the town council of Lugnano in Teverina – continues a work initially begun in the 1980s. The present report illustrates the preliminary results obtained after the years of excavation 2016-2019. The aim is to contribute to the debate concerning the causes of the end of Roman villas in the western part of Empire.
