Une tombe punique à Mellita (Îles Kerkennah – Tunisie)

Abstract

The article presents second testimony of the Punic presence on the Kerkennah Islands. The new tomb at Mellita contained seven black gloss vessels, nine lamps, seven unguentaria and a bronze needle. The imported pottery, mainly from southern Italy, Sicily and Campania, allow this hypogeum tobe dated between the end of the 4th and the first half of the 2nd century BC.
