English Summary: The tombs of pre-Roman Capua are known for their extraordinary finds, yet the excavations in the necropoleis of this most important Campanian centre have left a problematic heritage. In this book are published hitherto unknown data and finds from the necropolis in localita Fornaci, which is the biggest burial place systematically excavated. The material concerned covers the so-called Etruscan period. A thorough analysis of Capuan funerary customs in the archaic and early classical times provides new insights into the social organization of the community and into collective identities as well as a critical evaluation of current historic models. German Description: Die Graber des vorromischen Capua sind fur herausragende Funde bekannt, doch die Ausgrabungen in den Nekropolen dieses bedeutendsten Zentrums Kampaniens haben ein problematisches Erbe hinterlassen. In diesem Buch werden erstmals die bislang unbearbeiteten Befunde der so genannten etruskischen Periode aus der grossten systematisch erschlossenen Nekropole in localita Fornaci vorgelegt. Eine umfassende Analyse der Capuaner Bestattungssitten in der archaischen und fruhklassischen Zeit gewahrt die neue Einblicke in die soziale Organisation der Gemeinschaft und kollektive Identitaten und hinterfragt kritisch gangige historische Modelle.
