Abstract

Within the framework of the scientific cooperation agreement between the Institut National du
Patrimoine and the University of Rome «La Sapienza», the second archaeological season of excavation
took place from 31st May to 15th June 2022. In the area of the archaeological park of Antonin’s thermal
Baths beside the Borj-Jedid hill, under the remains of a domestic building (Building A), an important
Punic industrial installation of the late 5th century BC was discovered south of the area of the
Phoenician and Punic necropolis of Dermech. In the meantime, north of the Antonin’s thermal Baths,
in the area of the Roman villas on the Odeon Hill, eleven tombs of the 5th- 2nd centuries BC have been
unearthed by the Tunisian-Italian team of the Archaeological Mission to Carthage (MAC).
