Céramique pré-impériale de Thysdrus (El-Jem, Tunisie)

The study of a series of ceramic finds from pre-Roman tombs in Thysdrus reveals a new aspect of this Roman site. Although there is little variation among the forms, this assemblage, which fits perfectly into the Punic repertoire of Byzacena, shows the importance of pre-Roman levels from this inland site of the Sahel. This new pre-Roman material sheds light on the indigenous population and its relations with the Phoenicians.
