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.

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.
