I shall argue that the misinterpretation of these excavations is the key to understanding later developments and the general underestimation of Phoenician-Punic Archaeology.3 IMAGO TEMPORIS Medium Aevum X 2016 Lleida European UnionĤ Editor Flocel Sabaté Scientific board David Abulafia, François Avril, Thomas N. Starting with the various reasons leading to this situation, I aim to focus on the interpretation given to the ancient excavations at Carthage and, specifically, to its architectural and urban record, since this was the area of study where the prejudices about the Phoenician-Punic culture found an (albeit misunderstood) archaeological proof.
As we shall see, this representation pervades even the Phoenician-Punic history and archaeology university textbooks. Other groups may imitate it through an acculturation process: Hellenization. One of the main reasons for this is the persistence of a colonial representation of the ancient Mediterranean which assumes Greek culture to be the supreme expression of civilization. In spite of the interest generated by Phoenician-Punic Archaeology, this area of study has always been underestimated by comparison with Classical Archaeology.
