Sulla percezione del 'femminino' nello spazio funerario di Tharros punica

Regarding the treatment of women in the funerary spaces of Punic Tharros we do not have enough information to reconstruct a coherent picture. Most of the contexts, in fact, have been altered by clandestine looting. However, some gold jewellery possibly expressing the cult of Astarte, or a similar divine entity, recovered from grave goods allow us to make some considerations about the role of the feminine in Tharros society. In particular, it is possible to detect a connection between the spread of female cults in Tharros and the specific organisation of some grave goods.
