This volume fills a gap in the study of an important, yet neglected
case of state formation, by taking a landscape perspective to
Etruria. Simon Stoddart examines the infrastructure,
hierarchy/heterarchy and spatial patterns of the Etruscans over
time to investigate their political development from a new
perspective. The analysis both crosses the divide from prehistory
to history and applies a scaled analysis to the whole region
between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Arno and Tiber rivers, with
special focus on the neglected region between Populonia on the
coast and Perugia and the north Umbrian region adjoining the
Apennines. Stoddart uncovers the powerful places that were in
dynamic tension not only between themselves, but also with the
internal structure constituted by the descent groups that peopled
them. He unravels the dynamically changing landscape of changing
boundaries and buffer zones which contained robust urbanism, as
well as less centralized, polyfocal nucleations.
