Punic pottery

Punic pottery refers to ceramic vessels made by the ancient Carthaginians, a Phoenician civilization in North Africa. These pots were used for everyday purposes like cooking, storing, and transporting goods, and often feature distinctive styles and decorative patterns. Punic pottery helps archaeologists understand Carthaginian culture, trade networks, and daily life around the Mediterranean from the 6th century BCE onward. Its durable materials allow for well-preserved examples that provide insights into ancient craftsmanship, economic activity, and interactions between different civilizations in the ancient world.
