Observations sur les amphores de tradition punique d’après une nouvelle découverte près de Tunis

Abstract

This article clarifies aspects of the production of amphorae in the Punic tradition. Material collected from the dump of a potter’s workshop at Mnihla near Tunis comprised two main types of amphorae : Maña C and the type usually known as «Ancient Tripolitanian » . The presence of wasters and archaeometric analysis of selected sherds indicate local or regional production for both types.
