Excavaciones en la ciudad fenicio-púnica de Utica (Túnez). La campaña de 2017

Abstract

The article presents the results of the excavations of the Tunisian-Spanish team in Utica, with special reference to those of the 2017 campaign. A very old Phoenician building has been documented in Zone II, as well as remains of a large building from the 3rd to 2nd centuries BC. In the urban area of Zone I, part of a house with a mudbrick domestic kiln has been located, probably a kitchen, adjacent to a courtyard covered with an opus tessellatum pavement, which was in use until the beginning of the 2nd century B.C. Also in Zone I, the floor plan of a Phoenician-Punic temple from the 4th century B.C. and its construction process has been completed, locating also decorative architectural elements of a monumental building, dating from the 3rd-2nd centuries B.C.
