The Phoenician and Punic Amphoras from Pani Loriga (Area A)

In the Phoenician and Punic settlement of Pani Loriga, in Sardinia, a residential quarter on top of the mound (area A) has been discovered in the 2007-2011 excavations carried out by the Italian CNR. In a large room, more than 15 complete Punic amphoras have been unearthed. A preliminary typological study of these vessels will be presented here, with some additional reflections on the contexts of provenance and function.
