| Résumé: | In the most recent years, genetic analyses applied to archaeology, sometimes conflicting within each others, have reignited the debate around the origin of the Etruscans. Famous archaeologists have brought back the theory of the migration from the East. According to the Author, between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age in Etruria no data from material culture and social practices could justify unequivocally such a migration. The adoption of the funerary ritual of cremation in terracotta urns appears to be the greatest and most radical rupture in the archaeological record after 1200 B.C.E. In this phenomenon an European-Continental aspect prevails and no ethnical link with the East could be related to it. In the Late Bronze Age, the conclusion of the formation process of the huge urban agglomerations, which was begun in the Middle Bronze Age, occurred with no comparanda outside the Etruscan territory. Levantine and Greeks contributed to this formation process during their expansion towards the West up to the Atlantic coasts, while trading with coastal towns, attracted especially by the mineral richness of the central Tyrrhenian sea. Their contribution consisted of techniques, ideas and even people, remaining always at the margins of the society, and continued constantly in the following centuries |
