A small marble sculpture dating from the fourth century BCE has been found in Tunisia at the Tophet sanctuary of Ancient Carthage.

Preliminary laboratory analyses will determine the marble’s origin and the traces of ancient pigments still visible on its surface. Early results suggest a quarry source in the Eastern Mediterranean, supporting the theory of sustained trade between Carthage and Phoenician cities such as Tyre and Sidon.
