“…Although the artificial AHP is still progradational, the low energy conditions result in an anomalous fining‐upward sequence. Well‐documented case‐studies of AHP include Punic Carthage (Gifford, Rapp, & Vitali, ), Roman Caesarea (Reinhardt & Raban, ), Kition‐Bamboula (Morhange et al, ), Hellenistic Alexandria (Goiran, ), Greek‐Roman Marseilles (Morhange et al, ), Sidon (Morhange, Espic, Doumet‐Serhal, Bourcier, & Carbonel, ), Tyre (Marriner, Morhange, Boudagher‐Fadel, Bourcier, & Carbonel, ; Marriner, Morhange, Doumet‐Serhal, & Carbonel, ), and Greek‐Roman Neapolis (Cinque et al, ; Di Donato et al, ).
