“…The majority of the ceramics found in the church and cemetery are typical fifth to sixth/early seventh century AD vessels common in northern Tunisia (for their distribution, see Andreoli and Polla 2019). The assemblage includes common wares, mainly mortars, bowls and jugs of probable local or regional production, as well as tablewares, mainly African Red Slip Ware (ARS) D from Medjerda Valley productions, cooking wares (cf.…”

This paper reports the preliminary results from three seasons of excavations in the Christian cemetery by the Tunisian-British Bulla Regia Archaeological Project. In 2017–2019, excavations in, and around, the Late Antique church in the western cemetery uncovered a complex funerary landscape with a variety of different tomb types, including mosaic caisson tombs, simple masonry tombs, amphora tombs, and earthen graves and multiple funerary mensae. The mosaics, inscriptions and finds (ceramics, glass, coins) studied in 2022 support a fourth to seventh century date for the main period of use of the cemetery.

“…Cooking wares were limited to a few specific forms and dominated by handmade ‘Calcitic Ware’ (Peacock 1984, 11, Fabric 1.3; Polla et al . 2007, 603–9) and wheelmade ‘Rouletted Kitchen Ware’ (RKW) (after Andreoli and Polla 2019, 179). A new introduction was the late fifth/early sixth century painted jars, jugs and bowls with geometric, vegetal and occasional zoomorphic decorations, which also goes together with a new light red paste.…”

Urban transformation in the Central Medjerda Valley (north-west Tunisia) in late antiquity and the middle ages: a regional approach

et al. 2022

Recent scholarship on North African cities has done much to dispel earlier assumptions about late antique collapse and demonstrate significant continuity into the Byzantine and medieval periods. Yet urban changes did not affect North Africa evenly. Far less is known about the differing regional trajectories that shaped urban transformation and the extent to which pre-Roman and Roman micro-regions continued to share meaningful characteristics in subsequent periods. This article provides a preliminary exploration of regional change from the fourth to the eleventh century focused on a zone in the Central Medjerda Valley (Tunisia) containing the well-known sites of Bulla Regia and Chimtou. We place these towns in their wider historical and geographical setting and interrogate urban change by looking at investment in public buildings and spaces, religious buildings and housing, and ceramic networks. The process of comparison identifies new commonalities (and differences) between the sites of this stretch of the Medjerda River and provides a framework for understanding the many transformations of North African cities over the long late antiquity.
