A few hundred meters from the Tomba del Belvedere and the Tomba del Diavolino II you reach the Tomba della Pietrera. The tomb, which takes its name from its use as a stone quarry for centuries, represents the largest funerary monument in Vetulonia. This is an anomalous case of two superimposed tombs: the first construction, the lower one with a circular burial chamber, built in the third quarter of the 7th century BC, collapsed during construction or immediately after, perhaps due to the use of unsuitable material. Once the first tomb was filled, because it was no longer usable, it was undertaken in the last quarter of the 7th century BC. the construction of a second one set above the first, with a quadrangular chamber and access dromos, on whose walls there were two small opposing cells. The structure was covered by a pseudo-dome supported by a central pillar which is still preserved; the whole thing was surmounted by a mound of earth.
