Introducción al estudio de los baños domésticos de tradición fenicio-púnica
Quisiera llamar la atención sobre el desatendido estudio de la higiene en la Antigüedad y su estrecha conexión con el urbanismo. Nuevos datos de excavación en yacimientos fenicio-pánicos permiten presentar un mímero de ejemplos de baños domésticos que evidle neian un patrón espacial claramente di/erenciable del que se da en otros ámbitos culturales. Pura subrayar la distribución del cuarto de baño en el interior de la casa empleo el sistema de representación espacial habitual en los estudios de space syntax. Finalizo con una reinterpretación de las estructuras domésticas presentes en el patio ele la casa mauritana hallada en la Ladera Sur de Lixus (Larache, Marruecos).
El método del caso como herramienta de aprendizaje activo en arqueología
[EN] The case study, like other methodologies that enhance the active participation of the students, greatly favours the teaching-learning process. Here we present the design, application and results of the cases implemented in two Archaeology subjects (History Degree, University of Valencia). Within the framework of a Teaching Innovation Project (METARQ), we have implemented, in six different groups, two cases related to two subjects: Archaeological Methodology (3rd year-2nd semester, three groups) and Mediterranean Archaeology (4th year-1st semester, three groups). Both the learning results and the general opinion of the students were very positive. In addition, the application of this po…

The Roman circus and southwestern city quarter of Carthage: first results of a new international research project
AbstractThe paper presents first results of a joint German–Tunisian research project in Carthage, Tunisia. Archaeological fieldwork has been undertaken (preceded by a geophysical survey) in the southwestern quarter of the ancient city to study the architecture, chronology and urban context of the circus. The area has, unlike the rest of Carthage, not been targeted by excavations of the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries and, also unlike the rest of Carthage, is mostly not overbuilt, although under pressure from neighbouring communities. The area is the last one allowing a large-scale diachronic urban study in which the circus and its impact on the quarter is in the centre. From our f…
