Abstract

F. González de Canales, L. Serrano & J. Llompart
The Pre-colonial Phoenician Emporium of Huelva ca 900-770 BC

A large assemblage of materials, dating to ca 900-770 BC, was found during rescue excavations in the city of Huelva. It included several thousand Phoenician and autochthonous ceramics and a group of Attic Middle Geometric, Euboeo-Cycladic Subprotogeometric, Sardinian, Cypriot and Villanovan pottery. Waste materials of ivory, bone, wood and probable stone (agate), copper, silver and iron have also been documented. In addition, Phoenician weights, baetyls and a tin sheet, probably used in the manufacture of bronze were discovered. These finds have implications for our understanding of the pre-colonial period at the beginning of the first millennium BC and once again raise the much debated question of the identity of the biblical Tarsis in I Kings 10, 22.
