Melvadius Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 A few years back I went on a specially aranged archaeological tour of Tunisia with a now sadly defunct specialist local tour company who were closely tied into the Tunisian tourist board and local venues. One of the archaeological highlights was a visit to a site which was then currently being excavated at Leptiminus (Lamta) to the east of Sousse - not to be confused with Lepti Manga in Lybia which I have yet to visit. A major issue with the site was the fact that it was in an area which had been used for small farms and housing for years but as it was close to the sea it was also under pressure from major building projects such as hotels and associated entertainment venues. The area we saw under excavation included the shattered remains of a bath house as well as a large group of buildings which originally formed part of a collegia or trade guild. I have now posted some images from the Leptiminus excavations on my gallery which includes some images showing mosaics whioch had been prepared for removal from such site.
