Abstract

The site of Tharros, excavated between 1956 and 2005, is the subject of a renewed urban study in relation to residential architecture, unclear at the present state of knowledge. These analyses begin from the study of excavation diaries and literature data, in combination with a direct analysis of the archaeological remains. From the survey of residential quarters, it’s clear the presence of a urban planning which took into consideration the morphology of the area. The visible evidences are the result of the transformations that continued throughout the whole occupation of the site, in particular in the Roman rebuilding. Especially, this is visible in the houses, where there is the persistence of the masonry technique “a telaio”, typical of the Punic period; in the streets, which are modelled on the existing route; finally, in the area overlooking the coast, where the demolitions and conversions of buildings are identified.
