“…Concerning Tarquinia, a very pragmatic reason for the absence of cuttings may be found in its geomorphological situation: the Tyrrhenian coastal area lies outside the vast tuff plateau of central Italy (Ward-Perkins, 1962b: 390; Perkins, 1999: 4, fig. 1.1.1), the presence of which appears to have favoured the construction of road-cuttings and rock-cut tombs (Oleson, 1976: 209; 1978: 285–6) 9 .…”

“…Other notable publications of local surveys are: Quilici Gigli, 1976 (Blera); Hemphill, 2000 (Civitella Cesi); Enei, 2001 (Ager Caeretanus). For work specifically on road-cuttings, see: Ward -Perkins, 1957;Ward-Perkins, 1962a;Ward-Perkins, 1962b;Potter, 1979;Boitani et al, 1985;Quilici, 1990;Quilici, 1992;Quilici, 2008;Tuppi, 2010;Tuppi, 2012. For Etruscan rock-cut architecture, see: Prayon, 1975;Colonna, 1986;Naso, 1996: these works deal comprehensively with the utilization of stone cutting and quarrying in construction.…”
