Comment from Iosif Lazaridis:

There was a time during the 1st millennium BC that
a. in the West Mediterranean, Greek descendants advanced the Punic cause, and;
b. in the Levant, Phoenician descendants advanced Hellenism.

Punic people were genetically diverse with almost no Levantine ancestors - Nature
Levantine Phoenicians made little genetic contribution to Punic settlements in the central and western Mediterranean between the sixth and second centuries bce; instead, the Punic people derived most of their ancestry from a genetic profile similar to that of Sicily and the Aegean, with notable contributions from North Africa as well.

Cluster ROOTSROOTS PhD student Sara Mura uses sensory theories and digital techniques such as 3D modeling, GIS spatial analysis and acoustic simulations to explore the #sensoryexperiences in #Punic temples using the example of Monte Sirai, Sardinia. For the presentation of her project, she received the First Runner-Up Poster Award at the annual meeting of the #ArchaeologicalInstituteofAmerica AIA
