Abstract
These papers were originally presented at a conference in 2006, celebrating the work of the renowned Etruscologist, Sybille Haynes, in the year of her 80th birthday. Dr Haynes’ work has done much to elucidate and de-mystify the Etruscans, and this volume seeks to further define the Etruscan character manifest in its richly varied and original workshop production. It examines the light that some unusual Etruscan objects and buildings throw on their lives, beliefs, and influences. Importantly, it considers how the Etruscans themselves wished to be personally identified and remembered. From opposite ends of the spectrum, two papers contrast early concepts of the Etruscans in the 18th century and the latest evidence for their origins using DNA studies.
