Phoenician-Punic amphorae in Northern coastal Etruria: new evidence from Pisa (Italy)

This contribution aims to outline the circulation of Phoenician-Punic amphorae in Northern coastal Etruria, with a particular focus on Pisa, where their presence has been attested since the mid-8th century BC. A set of specimens from Piazza del Duomo has been analysed by mineropetrographic and geochemical techniques. The results have been compared with literature data from Mediterranean production areas. The research allowed a better definition of the role of Etruscan Pisa in the frame of commercial and cultural routes in the Mediterranean, specifically in the Tyrrhenian area, also providing the opportunity to review the attestations of Phoenician-Punic amphora on a regional scale.
