The media is calling him the Piceni Prince. It was excavated in the northern Marche region of Italy, and contains high status bronze items including weapons, as well as an iron wheeled chariot.
Unfortunately the bones are long scattered.

"[FONT="]Excavation ([/FONT]Figure 3[FONT="]) focused on the central ring-ditch and, in particular, on a large and slightly off-centre pit, which contained an extraordinary collection of cultural material ([/FONT]Figure 4[FONT="]), including a bronze helmet, a variety of weapons, several bronze vessels and the remains of an iron-wheeled war chariot—unequivocal testament to the aristocratic status of the tomb's owner ([/FONT]Figures 5–6[FONT="]). The surrounding ditch, measuring 30m in diameter, marked out a funerary area that may originally have been covered by a mound."[/FONT]
