Late Holocene Evolution of the Lagoonal Harbour of the Punic Centre of Othoca (Western Sardinia, Mediterranean Sea)
Geophysical surveys and multiproxy analyses of sediment cores have been used to reconstruct the palaeoenvironmental evolution of the Santa Giusta coastal lagoon (SGL), along the western coast of Sardinia. This area served as a natural harbour mainly during the Punic and Roman Republican periods (6th–2nd century bc ). The inlet of the SGL is connected to the adjacent mouth of the River Tirso and lies on the incised valley of an ancient tributary t…
Animal cemetery and caravan stop — investigating suburban space in a transcontinental port in Berenike (Red Sea, Egypt)
Berenike was a port of trade between the Roman Empire, Arabia, Africa and India. • Companion animals were buried with care during town’s peak prosperity in 1–2c. CE. • A masonry structure became the centerpiece of the animal cemetery in mid-1st c. CE. • Caravans from the Nile Valley may have stopped near the area of animal cemetery. • Data from animal cemetery illuminates spatial development of the ancient port suburbs. This paper presents new ar…
The Neolithic settlement of Pyrgos‐Agia Marina
This paper is a preliminary presentation of the large settlement which has been just recently discovered at Pyrgos-Agia Marina, thanks to intensive field survey, geophysical prospections and HD documentation of the sections left behind by mechanical terracing for construction works. The discovery of the larger section and of the other remains indicates the presence of an early, long-lived, nucleated settlement on the west bank of the Pyrgos river…
Last Meal for the Monks. Human Ecology, Food Prescriptions and Manipulation from a Sealed Archaeological Context. Case Study of San Vincenzo al Volturno Abbey, Molise, Southern Italy, Late Ninth Centu…
Human communities belonging to different times and places often adopt a set of ideal rules, sometimes related to alimentary prescriptions. For different reasons, foods and/or specific resources are, in fact, prohibited to some social or religious groups, but sometimes these can elaborate special strategies to find a compromise between a high social status and the access to ‘prohibited’ resources. For past societies, a careful archaeological study…
More than just food from the sea
Hellenistic Berenike, a major harbour founded on the Red Sea coast of Egypt in the mid-3rd century BCE, was from the beginning dependent in part on the exploitation of its marine ecosystem to ensure a proper supply of food for the soldiers manning the fort as well as the population servicing the commercial harbour. The archaeomalacological assemblage from recent excavations (2009–2020) has provided material for redefining the relationship between…
Ptolemaic Berenike
Excavations at Berenike (Trogodytika) on the Red Sea coast of Egypt provide a foundation date in the third quarter of the third century BCE, which corroborates Pliny the Elder's (HN 6.33.168) claim that Ptolemy II Philadelphus (ca. 285/2–246 BCE) established the port. Named after Philadelphus' mother, Berenike is the only archaeologically attested Hellenistic-era Red Sea emporium. According to literary evidence, it was one of about a dozen founde…
The last garum of Pompeii
This study represents the first detailed archaeozoological analysis on garum remains from Pompeii. It aims to contribute to our knowledge of activities connected to garum in one of the most celebrated centres of production in the Mediterranean by osteoarchaeological, taphonomical, and ecological analyses. One place for the production and sale of this fish sauce was located in the urban perimeter of the town, the so‐called “ garum shop”, buried by…
