Ripensando i contatti fra Sardegna e Penisola Iberica all'alba del I millennio a.C. Vecchie e nuove evidenze

The following article addresses the study of the relations between Sardinia and the Iberian Peninsula during the first centuries of the 1st millennium BC with particular attention to the role of the Nuragic populations. The discovery of an increasing amount of Nuragic tradition pottery in southern Spain requires a reflection on the times and ways that led Sardinian sailors and craftsmen to work on Iberian soil. The discussion will be mainly addressed on the one hand to assessing the impact of these contacts on the local population and on the other to clarifying how Nuragic Sardinia fitted into a wider context of international relations between the eastern Mediterranean and the Atlantic in which, over time, the Phoenician element took on an increasingly important role.
