Because no cities were ever built on top of the site, excavation is unusually unimpeded. Intriguing features described in\u003ci\u003e Cetamura del Chianti\u003c\/i\u003e include an artisans’ zone with an adjoining sanctuary, which fostered the cult worship of Lur and Leinth, two relatively little known Etruscan deities, and ancient wells that reveal the cultural development and natural environment, including the vineyards and oak forests of Chianti, over a period of some six hundred years. Deeply enhancing our understanding of an intriguing economic, political, and cultural environment, this is a compelling portrait of a singular society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlbum of Maps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1.
