Research of the German Archaeological Institute in Rome (DAI) and the Tunisian Institut National du Patrimoine (INP) south of the Rue Ibn Chabâat at Carthage revealed evidence for three different phases of an Early Punic living quarter. House construction cannot be dated before the middle of the 8th century BC. During the 5th century BC the urban landscape saw a complete change with all previous private buildings being replaced by two public buildings and an adjacent square. Public use continued into the Late Punic period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
