The PhD project “Textile production in the Western Mediterranean in the Phoenician and Punic contexts. Analysis of contexts and materials” is hosted at Sapienza University of Rome (IT) and started at the end of 2019.

So far, the study has focused mainly on the analysis of textile activity of Phoenician and Punic sites in the Sicilian region (Motya, Palermo, Lilybaeum), making comparisons with neighbouring indigenous and Greek sites.

Abstract

The PhD project “Textile production in the Western Mediterranean in the Phoenician and Punic contexts. Analysis of contexts and materials” is hosted at Sapienza University of Rome (IT) and started at the end of 2019. It investigates textile tools, textile installations, and fabrics in handicraft, residential, and cultic settings in Phoenician-Punic settlements in the Western Mediterranean between the 9th and the 2nd centuries BCE. The Phoenician and Punic world was very complex and regionally differentiated due to the interrelationships that first the Phoenicians and later the Carthaginians, had with local production centres. Some of the main Phoenician and Punic sites in the Mediterranean, which preserve traces of textile activity, have been taken into consideration in the project. So far, the study has focused mainly on the analysis of textile activity of Phoenician and Punic sites in the Sicilian region (Motya, Palermo, Lilybaeum), making comparisons with neighbouring indigenous and Greek sites. This region has proven to have been important in the exchange of technological traditions between Phoenician, Punic, Greek, indigenous, and Tyrrhenian Italian cultures.
