Western Greek and Sardinian Amphorae from Punic Sites in the Southern Mediterranean: New Evidence from Fabric Analysis for Economic Interaction in the Carthaginian Sphere of Influence (6th-3rd century B.C.E.)

Anfore dall'entroterra agrigentino. Due casi a confronto: Con questo contributo si desidera presentare le anfore provenienti da due contesti che ricadono nel territorio del comune di Casteltermini, ubicato nell?entroterra siciliano a circa 30 km a NE dall?antica colonia di Akragas. Da un punto di vista topografico l?area presenta altopiani, ancora oggi sfruttati per uso agricolo, bordati da alture, tre le quali emerge Pizzo Santa Croce avente un?altezza di 782m s.l.m.
