state of preservation of the archaeological remains, which offers the perfect opportunity to examine all the information available about the history of the cemetery and its occupants, the arrangement of the tombs, and the organisation of sepulchral space (e.g.
architecture, inscriptions, funerary artefacts). All this gives crucial information on the way individual and family memory were displayed. The important amount of information recovered for 15 years now also concerns the various funerary and ritual activities
that can be reconstructed on the basis of the material retrieved both on the ground levels around the tombs, on the cremation areas and in the fill of the graves. The study of this material allows for quite an accurate reconstruction of the ceremonies performed
in the cemetery.</i></span></div>
