The relation between Carthage and the North Western district of Sardinia began during the first half of the 8th
century BC with an important trade exchange. This approach was binary and not unilinear with, in percentage,
similar quantities in both the areas. This paper will offer a picture of Carthaginian presence in North Sardinia
and the Sardinian one at Carthage starting from the “Bir Massouda level” and reaching the 8th and 7th centuries
BC.

After ten years of research at S. Imbenia (Alghero-Sardinia) this paper looks at the site as a productive commercial and  political site. The contribution of L. Sanna on 3D and photogrammetry, of Beatrice De Rosa on pottery technology ann Elisabetta Garau on transport amphorae give a wide picture of the findings and of the studies carried out in these years.

In the history of the ancient world, water plays an important role as the quickest way to move from one site to the other, for religious reasons, as a way to reach the Otherworld. This last aspect is analysed in the paper starting from Mycenaean larnakes, passing through Oriental myth, Greek ways of death, arriving in Villanovan Italy and Sardinia from Iron Age. It becomes a long journey following the idea of Okeanos as the limit between our world and the Other one, the navigation toward the unknown, the Otherworld of Orientalizing and Archaic phases in Etruria with the painted tombs.

– The Nuragic site of Sant'Imbenia in Alghero (northwestern Sardinia, Italy) was inhabited approximately between the 14 th and the 7 th century BC. During the last centuries of its life, Sant'Imbenia lived a population of locals and foreigners, i.e. Levantines and, probably, Greeks. It is obvious that as well as goods and raw materials. At Sant'Imbenia by these exchanges and contacts it was developed a new local pottery production: in it converged local taste and " foreign " knowledge. After nine years of research and analysis we have realize a new classification of the pottery produced in the site from the beginning of the IA (10 th-8 th centuries BC). In this paper preliminary data on production technology of local wares will be presented: they were obtained by archaeometric analysis (MOP, IA, XRD, XRF) on pottery and raw materials sampled in a large area around the site. This part of the work is, in our opinion, fundamental in order to realize an archaeometric and technological classification of material that has to support the pottery typology.

The Nuragic site of Sant’Imbenia in Alghero (north-western Sardinia, Italy) was inhabited approximately between the 14th and the 7th century BC. During the last centuries of its life, Sant’Imbenia lived a population of locals and foreigners; it is obvious that as well as goods and raw materials they exchanged ideas, knowledge and technologies.
The aim of the work is to identify the development of this settlement through the analysis of the ceramic technology. The study takes into account the results of the archaeometric analyses of the nuragic pottery produced during the VIII and the VII century BC, found during the excavations carried out in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Ceramic samples were studied under a stereomicroscope to observe the decorations and the surfaces; a portable Minolta CM700d spectrophotometer was used to determine the chromatic coordinates of ceramic fragments and to detect possible differences between samples in terms of their composition or production process. Later, the artifacts were studied by X-ray fluorescence, X-ray powder diffraction and optical microscopy to analyze their chemical, mineralogical and textural features.

Negli studi tecnologici applicati alla ceramica, esistono quattro ambiti che si possono considerare fondamentali:
la sfera materiale, che comprende tutti i fattori deterministici, quali il tipo di materie prime disponibili, la possibilità di reperimento, le limitazioni climatiche e ambientali, i costi ed i tempi della produzione, ecc.
la sfera tecnologica, che comprende tutte le decisioni e le azioni che seguono una successione lineare, ma flessibile, di operazioni: l'approvvigionamento delle materie prime, la preparazione dell'impasto, il modellamento, il trattamento superficiale, l'essiccamento, la decorazione, la cottura ed il raffreddamento;
la sfera tecnologico-funzionale, che comprende tutte le indicazioni e le azioni adottate in base alla funzionalità di un manufatto;
la sfera cognitiva, che si riferisce al gruppo di riferimento ed alle scelte individuali come risposta specifica alle più generali credenze socio ideologiche.

The period between the end of the ninth and the first half of the eighth century BC marks the zenith of the
contacts between the Northern mining district of Etruria and the Central-Northern Sardinia. It represents the
result of contacts started in previous periods and it is indicated not only by an intense exchange of products,
but also by the phenomena of contamination between the ceramic and bronzework traditions. In such a context
Populonia (Piombino-Livorno) and Sant’Imbenia (Alghero-Sassari) represent some fields of investigation
privileged to understand the way of contact between the Nuragic and the Villanovian culture.
