Early Etruscan
- Scope note
- Refers to the earlier stages of Etruscan culture and style, before the influence of Roman culture predominated. It includes the Early Iron Age, from the ninth century BCE to around 675 BCE, the Orientalizing phase, to around 575 BCE, and the early part of the Classical phase, to around 400 BCE. For classification systems that place the Iron Age Villanovan culture outside the Etruscan culture, the Early Etruscan culture would begin around 750 BCE.
