Jahrtausends v. Chr. Ausgehend von der punischen Metropole Karthago untersuchen die Autoren anhand archäologischer und historischer Quellen Kulturkontakte und Kulturtransfers in den punischen Siedlungsgebieten. Im Fokus stehen die vielfältigen Dynamiken und Prozesse des Austauschs zwischen Puniern und ihren Nachbarn in Tunesien, auf Sizilien und Sardinien sowie dem phönizischen Mutterland. Die hier gesammelten Aufsätze präsentieren die Ergebnisse des internationalen Workshops „Karthago Dialoge“, der im November 2013 am Institut für Klassische Archäologie der Eberhard-Karls-Universität in Tübingen stattfand.

While parts of a race-track section and a pool were revealed between two stenopoi, the extension of the gymnasium and the existence of a palaestra as well as the construction date could not be securely determined. A project launched in 2019 in cooperation between the Parco Archeologico e Paesaggistico Valle dei Templi di Agrigento and the Freie Universität Berlin aims to solve these questions. Based on the results of a geophysical survey, four trenches were excavated in 2022 in a field to the north of the pool where the palaestra was most likely located. The aim of this paper is to discuss the results of the 2022 campaign. After a brief discussion of the chronology established in previous excavations, the trenches are presented from south (trench 1) to north (trench 4), followed by new insights regarding the architecture. In trenches 1 and 2, well-made ashlar walls were found that are consistent in orientation, building technique, and material with the previously exposed walls of the gymnasium and may have belonged to the searched palaestra. In trench 3, the continuation of the western stenopos appeared. Trench 4 was made at the supposed crossing of this stenopos with a plateia but did not yield any evidence of built structures or street pavements. The analysis of the architecture showed that previously proposed reconstructions are problematic, particularly regarding the architecture of the xystos-stoa. Revisions regarding the reconstruction of the Doric order and its chronology are proposed here, suggesting a period between the end of the 3rd and the first half of the 2nd century B.C.

Cultrera in the 1930s neither completely captured nor destroyed the ancient structures. This has made it possible to collect planimetric data and to clarify the chronology of the phases related to the sanctuary of Venus Erycina.
This new research initiative has helped to identify a previously unknown late archaic phase. Circular structures have been discovered which, together with the finds of votive material and pottery, suggest that the area should be considered a sacred site already in that period. The existence of the sanctuary in this phase coincides with a scattered settlement, which has been identified and excavated in several places along the medieval city wall.
In the first half of the 5th century BC, when the scattered settlement had already developed into an urban centre, the sacred area appears to have been located on the top of the mountain in an extra-urban area. In contrast to the urban centre, which was abandoned after the First Punic War, the sanctuary continued to be frequented into the Roman period, especially in the 2nd and 1st centuries BC.

As a result of the excavation of the foundation levels of 5 towers, made during the summer of 2010 and 2011, we have been able to date, although in a preliminary stage, the first and third phase of the walls. Based on the Attic pottery found, the first phase can be dated in the early fifth century B.C. The second phase is conserved only in hight, while the third made by pseudo isodoma masonry, seems to date from the late republican age, probably in the second half of the first century B.C. This highlights a significant rearrangement of the Roman period. These preliminary investigations also showed that the city in pre-Roman and Roman times was smaller, reaching its current size probably only in the Middle Ages.
