The Archaic Period Of The Phoenician City Of Gadir

This paper tries to reconstruct the topography and morphology of the ancient Tyrian foundation of Gadir through the study of the material data provided by the most recent archaeological works. In the last fifteen years, the first isolated and decontextualized remains have been supplemented by a series of stratigraphic contexts and sequences that confirm the location and antiquity of the city of Gadir according to literary and historiographical tradition. Although on a preliminary basis, this makes possible to unravel its urban plan, as well as the articulation of the different elements and recognized sectors: residential areas, peri-urban areas, ports, necropolis, places of worship, etc.
