| Riepilogo: | This article describes the ceramic and saddle quern cargoes recorded on a Phoenician shipwreck found off Xlendi Bay, Gozo, dated by the finds to 700-650 BC. The ceramics are divided into three main groups: Tyrrhenian-style amphoras, Phoenician-Punic western amphoras, and large ollas. Discussion of the likely provenance of each type allows preliminary proposals concerning the ship's route. The extent of the site and an estimate of the total cargo is used to give the approximate size and capacity of the vessel. The mixed nature of the cargo elicits consideration of Phoenician maritime trade networks in the 7th century BC. |
