Proyecto Utica: excavaciones en la ciudad fenicio-púnica : campaña de 2015

espanolLa campana de 2015 en Utica ha tenido objetivos limitados pero resultados interesantes. Se finalizo el pozo 20017 del corte 20, confirmando su caracter de hallazgo cerrado del siglo ix a. C. En el corte 21 se amplio la superficie de excavacion en el edificio anejo al pozo, localizando estratos y estructuras de adobe fenicias que confirman un uso posterior a la clausura del pozo. En el corte 10 se profundizo en el sector 14 para datar fases constructivas localizadas en campanas anteriores y se documentaron construcciones del siglo vii a. C. En el corte 11 se efectuaron ampliaciones en el area monumental y se descubrio una estancia con muros de sillares paralela a la gran escalera romana, asi como estructuras medievales adosadas a estructuras fenicias del Edificio B, cuyo proposito fue la instalacion de una noria. En los cortes 10 y 11 los trabajos se interrumpieron al alcanzarse el nivel freatico. EnglishThe campaign of 2015 in Utica has had limited aims but interesting results. The excavation of the well 20017 in the square 20 was concluded, confirming its character of closed finding of the 9th century B.C.
