The paper aims to detail the living spaces and material culture of the Hellenistic settlement of Podere Cannicci (3rd to 1st century BCE). This settlement is a rural village serving a sanctuary dating back to the late Etruscan period. Ongoing excavations have allowed for a preliminary understanding of the layout of some of the village houses and the identification of both construction techniques and significant artifacts for interpreting the intended use of the dwellings. The paper will present data collected between 2017 and 2023, emphasizing the phases of transformation of the excavated spaces and their historical significance within the context of Tuscan Etruria.
