(In)Visible Actors? Gender e Childhood Archaeology nel Mediterraneo fenicio e punico: bilanci e riflessioni

The project Invisible Actors provided the opportunity to reconsider women and children as historical subjects within Phoenician and Punic societies of the first millennium BCE. Moving beyond long-standing debates on Phoenician identity, the research focuses on the shared practices and historical processes that made these communities recognizable across the Mediterranean. ?e project also fostered multiple occasions for scholarly exchange -through workshops, seminars, webinars, and collaborative research activities- which encouraged methodological reflection and interdisciplinary dialogue grounded in archaeological, epigraphic, iconographic, and bioarchaeological evidence, with particular attention to Sardinian contexts. The contributions collected in this volume reflect this shared framework and approach.
