that affected the island and the Sulcis region in particular between the Iron Age and the Roman period. Twenty years of archaeological investigations carried out by the University of Sassari in the so-called area of Cronicario have revealed a multi-period site, where the earliest evidence dates back to the Neolithic. There is a lack of data for the 6th and 5th century BC that may possibly be interpreted as evidence that this particular part of the settlement was not inhabited in that period.

burials, funerary sets and practices · The integrated study of the archaeological
record highlighted in recent years thanks to the excavations
in the Punic necropolis of Villamar, in Sardinia, provides valuable information
both on the burial typology used by this community of
Marmilla between 4th and 3rd century bc, and on sex, about age and
how lifestyle and nutrition have left its traces in the skeleton of the
dead found in the necropolis. These data can also be interpreted in a
gender perspective, trying to reconstruct the peculiarities of Punic
society in all its components, overcoming the androcentrism that for
a long time has also characterized the studies of Phoenician and
P unic archaeology.

the links between human groups and regions of origin. We utilize the spatial variation in the δ2H and
δ18O values of precipitation (an isoscape) to develop proxies for geographic locations of fauna and
humans. Bone collagen hydrogen isotope ratios (δ2H) in cattle (and to a lesser extent, ovicaprids)
across the Mediterranean reflect the isotopic differences observed in rainfall (but δ18O values do
not). We conclude that δ2H in herbivore bone collagen can be used as a geolocation tracer and for
palaeoenvironmental studies such as tracing past isotopic variations in the global hydrological cycle. In
contrast, human bone δ2H values are relatively tightly grouped and highly distinct from precipitation
δ2H values, likely due to human-specific food practices and environmental modifications. Given the
inter-species variability in δ2H, care should be taken in the species selected for study.
fundamental to understand the size of the first Phoenician population in the Sulcis area. Even the most ancient
ground levels clearly show the Eastern origins of the family groups that occupied this area from the beginning
of the 8th century BC, but it is also evident the presence of an indigenous component with whom the Levantines
lay the foundation of the first settlement. Among the most interesting findings, we are examining the
remains of an oven of the type called tannūr or tabouna, characteristic of the near eastern tradition of baking
bread, together with some elements of material culture representing the ways of cultural integration on the
site.
