Carthage I

Now available for purchase at Astrom Editions, Amazon.com, and Amazon.de. Carthage I. Results of the Swedish excavations 1979–1983. A Roman bath in Carthage By Cathrine Gerner Hansen.

An archaeological report will follow. The main plot, Site A, which was placed at the disposition of the SMC is located at the foot of the northern incline of Byrsa in the triangle between avenue de la Republique (now avenue de I’ Amphitheatre) and rue Mendes France. Since the excavations were established on the highest point of the saddle between the two Carthaginian heights Byrsa and Juno it was entirely unexpected when the remains of a Roman bath complex were revealed. The finds essentially confirm Saumagne’s theories regarding the layout of Roman Carthage. The main and best preserved remains, labelled Complex II, were part of lnsula 101 E making up the corner between the Cardo I E and Decumanus I N. Approximately 620 m2 of the building, hypothetically dated…

I will try to subdivide the Submycenaean period into several phases on the basis of the development of the pottery and the location of the graves in the Kerameikos. The validity of the subdivisions will be checked by comparing grave forms, burial customs and grave offerings in the different periods. The Protogeometric period will be examined a little more summarily and without any new division into phases. The reason for this is that most of the Protogeometric material from the Athenian Agora is still unpublished, and I will not anticipate the complete study of this subject in the Agora publication. I am most grateful to Mrs E.L. Smiths on for her kindness in allowing me to include all the unpublished Submycenaean and Protogeometric graves from the Agora in my study. In the second part of the book I…
