Fenici ed Elimi a Mozia: la ceramica elima nei contesti moziesi tra l’VIII e il VI secolo a.C

Recent excavations of Sapienza University of Rome at Motya have brought to light the early and fruitful relations between the Phoenicians, landed on Motya between the end of the 9th and the beginning of the 8th century BC, and the rich cultural tradition of the Elymians, the population that lived on the island and in the surrounding territory. The coexistence and integration between these two peoples are reflected in the material culture of the archaic period, in which the decorated pottery was imported from the Elymian cities inland, and attested in funeral, sacred and ceremonial contexts.
