Insights into agricultural practices at the Phoenician site of Castro Marim bet...

Castro Marim is an Iron Age site from the Algarve region, Portugal. The earliest evidence of settlement, from the Late Bronze Age, dates to the 9th century BCE, with the Phoenician-Punic period dating from the 7th to the 3rd century BCE. This study focuses on the stable isotope analysis of plant and collagen of faunal remains to reconstruct cultivation and husbandry practices. Barley was the most abundantly cul...

An Archaeometric Analysis of Black-Appearing Iron Age Glass Beads from Vinha da...

Phoenician colonisation of the Iberian Peninsula in the 1st millennium BCE introduced many novel and luxurious goods to the local populations of the Western Mediterranean. Among them, black-appearing glass beads are characteristic of indigenous female burials in Southern Portugal during the 6th century BCE. This study presents the results of the first comprehensive archaeometric investigation of black-appearing...

Iron age genomic data from Althiburos – Tunisia renew the debate on the origins...

The Maghreb is a key region for understanding the dynamics of cattle dispersal and admixture with local aurochs following their earliest domestication in the Fertile Crescent more than 10,000 years ago. Here, we present data on autosomal genomes and mitogenomes obtained for four archaeological specimens of Iron Age (∼2,800 cal BP–2,000 cal BP) domestic cattle from the Eastern Maghreb, i.e. Althiburos (El Kef, T...

Changing perspectives on the phoenician presence in the Mediterranean: past, pr...

This paper aims to trace the changing approaches to the Phoenician presence in the Mediterranean, since early work based on Biblical and Classical sources, through “orientalist” representations deeply embedded in European colonial ideologies, and into the institutionalisation of Phoenician and Punic Studies in the second half of the 20th century. The development of this field of study is then briefly analysed, ...

New approaches for the study of faience using beads from Southern Portugal

A collection of 30 faience beads recovered from the Iron Age necropolis of Vinha das Caliças 4 (Beja, Portugal) was analyzed in order to identify their production technology and provide insights into their possible provenance. The multi-analytical approach employed, combining laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), variable pressure scanning electron microscope coupled with ener...

A ocupação romana da Lezíria (Castro Marim, Portugal)

Prospecções levadas a efeito nos anos 80 do século XX no Concelho de Castro Marim permitiram identificar, através da recolha de abundantes materiais à superfície, um sítio de época romana. Esses materiais, integralmente cerâmicos (terra sigillata, ânforas, cerâmica de paredes fina, lucerna e cerâmica comum), contribuíram para o conhecimento da ocupação rural do território do litoral algarvio, e para discutir a ...

As importações altoimperiais de Monte Molião (Lagos, Portugal) através de conte...

Até há pouco tempo, a ocupação da primeira metade do século I em Monte Molião era muito mal conhecida. Com efeito, somente alguns materiais, quase todos descontextualizados, permitiam admitir essa ocupação, evidenciando que entre o final da república e a época flávia o local tinha permanecido ocupado. Em anos recentes, foi possível escavar contextos bem conservados que se podem associar à dinastia Júlio-Cláudia...
