Etruscan buildings in the area surrounding the forum

In Rusellae, beneath the modern-day canopy, the remains of buildings made of raw bricks, stone and clay stand out among the ruins from the first Etruscan period. The most ancient of these, dating back to the seventh century BC, is a hut, whose roof was made of perishable materials (reeds, straw thatch, wood), enclosed by two fences. It was probably a sacred building where the leaders of the settlement would meet to discuss matters.
In the sixth century, just north of this hut, a temple dedicated to a goddess (identified as Artemis in Roman times) was built. It was made of hewn stones and had a tiled roof and wooden columns.
A stairway located north of the temple lead to the Auguraculum, a sacred place where the ancient Etruscan priests observed the flight of birds to understand whether an event would turn out well or not.
