Blurb:

This chapter seeks to present and assess a new set of evidence for the later Phoenician-Punic period, i.e. between the 6th and 1st centuries bc, regarding Phoenician settlement. Thus, it provides an overview of the various investigations and research projects that have generated new results along the Andalusian seaboard and go on to discuss the rural evidence itself. Moreover, it explores to what extent these new results shed light on issues of rural settlement, agricultural production and agrarian organisation.
