On the beach of the Domus De Maria (Cagliari) coastline in southern Sardinia, the sea recently brought to the surface two Phoenician-era tombs along with numerous archaeological finds, including amphorae and vases. The discovery, as reported by TGR Sardegna, which emerged naturally from wave action caused by the storm surge of Cyclone Harry, immediately attracted the attention of the relevant authorities. Carabinieri responded to the scene and cordoned off the area to ensure safety and prevent unauthorized access.
The Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio (Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape Superintendence ) carried out an initial technical inspection, aimed at assessing the state of preservation of the artifacts that emerged. According to reports from TGR Sardegna, access to the site has been interdicted pending the arrival of specialized personnel, who will begin the delicate scientific excavation and recovery operations in the coming days. The interventions will be necessary to preserve the artifacts and allow their in-depth study by archaeologists. The discovery represents an important find for the archaeology of southern Sardinia, particularly for the knowledge of the Phoenician presence along the coast.
