The well-preserved skeleton appears to be that of a woman aged about 30. . . . Call Clinton.

Experts have said the necropolis was destined for high-ranking personalities — such as warriors and ancient priests — heading the tribes and clans that lived in small villages scattered on hills near the area that later spawned one of the world's greatest civilizations. Yes, much later. Rome wasn't squat in 1000 BC.

My wife and I went to Italy last year. That white monument is nicknamed the Wedding Cake (The rest of it looks just like a wedding cake). It has nasty habit of picking up the car exhaust, and it sits on a fairly valuable archaeological site.

1,000 BC would 250 years before Romulus founded the city state of Rome.
It would also date from the very earliest time of settlement in the region so we may start to know more about the city that went on to dominate the world and really started modern civilization.

I am going to Italy in a few days. Maybe I will get a chance to see the site!
