Capalbiaccio Tricosto

castle · 750 BC – 2099 AD

The fortified site of Tricosto di Capalbiaccio is located in southern Tuscany, some 6 km inland from the ancient Latin colony of Cosa (Ansedonia). The archaeological site was initially identified by means of a field survey led by Stephen L. Dyson (1976-1980). Beginning in 2009 the site was again investigated. The site had a long occupational life, beginning as a minor Etruscan center (ca. seventh century BCE) and continuing in use through the Middle Ages (tenth century CE).
