L’atelier céramique de Dkhila (Tunisie)

Abstract

We present here the typological and archaeometric characterization of the production of Dkhila workshop, in the Tunisian Sahel, consisting of Late Roman amphorae of types Keay 61, 62, and 8A. The discovery of this new workshop of Teboulba confirms the renewal of the amphorae production in the Sahel and the trades of this region with the western Mediterranean from the 6th c. until late 7th c.
