ALLUMIERE

   A topographical area of long-standing importance in the Tolfa hills. From the immediate town area there is probably some cemetery evidence. The area has occupation from early prehistory, with important remains of the Bronze Age and Etruscan periods. The sites of Elceto, La Tolfaccia, and Monte Rovello are nearby. As part of the Tolfa hills, the area is a key upland boundary zone between the Caere and Tarquinia, where geographical, political, and ritual boundaries coincided.
