A pre-Roman necropolis characterised by rich grave artefacts was discovered in southern Italy during excavations for the construction of an electricity power station, local authorities said on Wednesday. The necropolis was found near Amorosi, some 50 km (31 miles)away from Naples, during preliminary excavations to build an electric station linked to a high-speed train line, they said in a statement. "The grave artefacts also included large quantities of vases of different shapes, often stacked on top of each other, usually laid at the feet of the deceased in a reserved space," the local cultural heritage authority said.
