A sealed stone sarcophagus has been discovered at the Etruscan site of Bisenzio, Italy. The intact skeleton dated from the sixth to seventh centuries BCE.

Here’s a wonderful 10 minute documentary of the excavations in that area from this summer. (The sarcophagus is unearthed at the 6:00 minute mark.)
