MATERIALES INÉDITOS DE ÉPOCA PÚNICA PROCENDENTES DE IBIZA EN EL MUSEO DE MENORCA. [Unpublished materials of Punic chronology (6th - 2th century BCE), from Ibiza, in the Museum of Menorca]

Abstract

The present work deals with an unpublished batch of Punic materials, mainly vascular, but also terracotta and metallic elements, from Ibiza, which are preserved in the Museum of Menorca. A part of them comes from a private donation made in 1953 by Josep Colomines Roca, who obtained them, no doubt by purchase or exchange, on the Pitiusa island. On the other hand, the circumstances in which its entry into the aforementioned museum took place are unknown. Despite being a decontextualized material, its publication is important for several reasons, among which is the presence of exceptional pieces and others that can rarely be studied in an integral state. It has not been just a descriptive work, but the occasion has been taken advantage of, through the use of modern archaeological data, many of which are unpublished to date, to update the state of the matter in a whole series of ways Vascular All this, naturally results in a better knowledge of the Punic-Ebusitan era and its commercial relations with the outside.
