Study of the sequences of environmental change and human occupation in the vicinity of the Late Punic port of Carthage shows the two harbours of the city besieged by Scipio to be man‐made and, in their fully developed form, dating only from the late fourth or third century b.c. There is further archaeological and historical evidence to suggest that the siting of a port in this area may be associated with a fourth‐century expansion of the urban area of Carthage and consequently have no relationship with the original harbour and habitation area of the Phoenician colony
