The journey that began with the edition of the Orientalising and Early Archaic contexts of the San Martino necropolis finds its natural continuation in that of the materials from the Monte Cornazzano burial ground, which, together with its circumscribed settlement, closes the SE ring of sites that make up the Capena enclave. The investigations conducted on several occasions in the early 20th century on the two hills on which the site lies brought to light 67 tombs, including pits and hypogean chambers, which developed, with an articulated occupation of the territory, from the mid-eighth century B.C. to the early imperial age. All the structures identified were affected by the structural collapse and the looting of grave goods, to which must be added the absence of documentation following modern scientific research criteria. Despite the difficulties, the philological reconstruction of the contexts carried out through the use of the available documentary sources and preserved materials, made it possible to reassemble a fairly comprehensive cultural picture of the community buried here. What emerged were not only the predictable similarities that relate it to the community buried in the adjacent, and more extensive, necropolis-mirror of San Martino, but also some discontinuities that highlight the vitality and creative flair of the local craftsmen.
