Las factorías romanas de salazones de La Azohía (Cartagena, España). Nuevas perspectivas arqueológicas
A pesar de haber producido un garum de excepcional calidad según las fuentes clásicas, las factorías de salazones son escasas en el territorio de Carthago Nova (Cartagena). Se ha planteado que algunos conjuntos ubicados en ensenadas cercanas a la ciudad funcionasen a modo de distritos industriales, caso de la bahía de Mazarrón. En esta última, junto a las conocidas cetariae de Puerto de Mazarrón, destaca el complejo productivo de La Azohía, infra…
Urban stories in a 3rd Century CE Roman House in Águilas (Spain)
Águilas is a Roman Republican enclave in southeastern Hispania that developed mainly from the time of Augustus. Linked to ancient Urci by some scholars, its legal status is still difficult to define. Although in early-Roman times it was as much as seven to eight hectares in area and had public buildings, it has traditionally been considered a minor settlement in the shadow of nearby Carthago Nova. In the following pages, a comprehensive analysis …
Isla del Fraile. Reconstructing Coastal Dynamics in Southeastern Spain Through Underwater Archaeological Survey
A new archaeological research project analyses the history of Isla del Fraile (Águilas, Spain), a small island off the coast occupied since at least Roman times. Its isolation means that the sea has always conditioned its connectivity and relationship with land. Despite some underwater studies carried out in previous decades, its underwater surroundings, El Hornillo Bay, continue to be relatively unexplored. In parallel to the excavation work on …
The Republican Wreck at Nido del Cuervo (Águilas, Spain): Rediscovering a Roman Lead Ingot-carrying Ship
The Nido del Cuervo site (aguilas, Spain) has traditionally been interpreted as one of just a few Late Republican Roman lead ingot carrying wrecks, due to the exceptional discovery of 15 Roman ingots at the site. Although the remains were never published, the original excavation report indicated a consistent cargo of Dressel 1C and Dressel 28 amphorae and suggested that the ship sank around 60-50 BC. This study involves the review of all the unpu…
Impact of trading networks on a small island at the end of Late Antiquity: Isla del Fraile
This terrestrial and underwater archaeological research project around a Mediterranean islet identifies that it was a commercial centre during the fifth century AD. The results shed light on Late Roman island occupation dynamics
Un nuevo tipo de ánfora tardía de la isla del Fraile (Águilas, España)
Excavaciones recientes en el yacimiento arqueológico de la isla del Fraile (Hispania Carthaginensis) han permitido documentar una importante ocupación de época tardoantigua. Entre los restos de un almacén del siglo V d. C. se ha identificado un ánfora completa inédita, definida como Isla del Fraile 1. Se trata de un posible contenedor local que pudo estar vinculado a la comercialización de salsas de pescado, una de las principales actividades des…
Tipasa - Carthago Nova: Relaciones hispano-mauritanas a través de la pintura mural
El territorio costero de la icónica ciudad de Tipasa (Tipaza) nunca ha sido objeto de una investigación arqueológica sistemática y en la actualidad gran parte de su patrimonio se encuentra amenazado. En el marco de un nuevo proyecto hispano-argelino se ha realizado una prospección que aporta datos inéditos para conocer las conexiones de esta región con el resto del Mediterráneo y, en particular, con la península ibérica. El espacio analizado es u…
Évolution du paysage urbain de Thaenae (Thyna) à la fin de l’antiquité: Nouvelles données sur le rempart
Dans le cadre du chantier-école archéologique à Thaenae, des travaux ont été menés de 2017 à 2022 par une équipe tuniso-française aux abords de la porte de Tacape en vue de contribuer à l’étude de l’évolution urbaine de la cité, marquée, dans l’Antiquité tardive, par la construction d’un rempart dont l’emprise est plus vaste que celle de la ville du Haut-Empire. Sur la base d’un croisement des données de terrain et de laboratoire (monnaies, céram…
The Territory of Ancient Tipasa, Algeria: Archaeological Survey, Material Culture, and Connectivity in Central Maghreb
The territory of Tipasa, an iconic UNESCO landscape that comprises the ancient city of Mauretania and its Royal Mausoleum, has never been systematically investigated. The exception may be Gsell’s archaeological atlas of Algeria, compiled more than a century ago (Gsell, 1911). Since 2021, the TIPASA Project, a Spanish-Algerian survey program, was organized to shed light on this ill-studied ancient city and its territory. The survey approaches the …
Contesti Tardoantichi Di Portus (Fiumicino–it): Novità Dai C.D. Magazzini Traianei
Il contributo si propone di presentare i reperti provenienti da un saggio effettuato all’interno dei cosidetti Magazzini Traianei a Portus (Fiumicino) e in particolare nel corridoio prospicente la darsena in corrispondenza della cella 9 e all’interno di essa. L’intervento di ricerca era principalmente volto a definire le diverse fasi edilizie della struttura dei magazzini, è tuttavia stato possibile mettere in luce livelli datati tra il IV e il V…
A shared pottery-making tradition? Early Roman Ware 1 from Cartagena and Elche (Spain)
The so-called Early Roman Ware 1, identified by P. Reynolds in the Alicante region, was widely distributed in the eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula. The presence of this ware in Elche (Alicante) and Valencia opened the possibility that it was widely distributed across the region. Indeed, it has been considered as a possible regional product of the area of Valencia. In Cartagena (ancient Carthago Nova), where our study concentrated originally,…
La producción anfórica de Carthago Nova y su territorio: Estado de la cuestión
A pesar del relevante papel que desempeñó como puerto comercial en época romana, la producción anfórica de Carthago Nova (Hispania Tarraconensis) y su territorio resultan a día de hoy casi desconocidas. De sus principales actividades económicas, solo la minerometalurgia parece haber tenido un claro carácter exportador. A la ausencia de alfares en los primeros siglos del Imperio se suma la escasez de instalaciones vinculadas con ciertos productos …
La isla del Fraile: Una nueva propuesta de investigación arqueológica (Águilas, España)
Entre los diferentes islotes del litoral de la Región de Murcia uno destaca por encima de todos por su valor histórico y ecológico: la isla del Fraile. Tradicionalmente vinculada a la explotación de los recursos haliéuticos durante la Antigüedad tardía, a finales del siglo XIX fue ocupada para el desarrollo de actividades industriales. Las evidencias arqueológicas sobre este interesante enclave costero son sin embargo escasas y desiguales. Con mo…
Lead Labelling on Roman Amphoras. A Short‐Lived Fashion
The 1970s saw the first publication of a set of lead plaques used as labels on transport vessels found in a shipwreck off Annaba, Algeria. They were wrapped around the handles of several Africana II C2 amphoras and some referred to officinae, probably of salted fish. Labelling merchandise with tesserae plumbeae was common for products such as textiles in the Roman Empire, but considered unusual on amphoras. New finds in the coastal archaeological…
Dinámicas comerciales entre Hispania y Mauretania Caesariensis. Algunas reflexiones a partir de la evidencia cerámica (ss. I-V d. C.)
During Antiquity the two shores of the western Mediterranean, the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghreb, shared a rich common past favoured by their close geographical proximity. However, our knowledge of the exchanges between the two territories is very uneven. While archaeological research in the “Circle of the Strait” has advanced exponentially in recent decades, data for the eastern sector are still based mainly on epigraphic and literary documen…
Amphores vinaires Gauloise 4 de Narbonnaise (France) exportées à Carthagène (Espagne) ? Analyse statistique exploratoire multidimensionnelle de données géochimiques
La vaste distribution des amphores de type Gauloise 4 dans le monde méditerranéen durant le Haut-Empire témoigne de l’intense activité du commerce vinaire de la Narbonnaise durant cette période. La diffusion de ce type d’amphore dans la Péninsule ibérique, attestée par quelques amphores, demeure encore mal connue. La récente découverte à Carthagène de plusieurs fragments de Gauloise 4 présentant de fortes ressemblances avec les productions de Nar…
The Fortuna Domus (Cartagena, Spain): An Archaeological Analysis of Household Activities in a Hispano-Roman Colonia
This paper analyses the occupation sequence documented in the Roman house of La Fortuna (Cartagena, Spain). We use a contextual approach to study all the material culture documented in the domus. We start with a complete re-documentation of the stratigraphic record, in order to match the finds to their provenance. As a basis for this documentation, we discuss the abandonment typologies and the formation processes documented in the house. Using th…
Un rallador de cerámica: Reflexiones en torno a una pieza romana de cocina
El estudio de un objeto cerámico inédito procedente de la domus de la Fortuna de Carthago Noua (Cartagena, España) ha permitido identificarlo como un rallador. Dicha interpretación ha sido corroborada gracias a la realización de un ejercicio de arqueología experimental. Su presencia completa el repertorio de vajilla de cocina en la antigua colonia portuaria a finales del s. II al tiempo que sugiere diversas cuestiones sobre su uso
