Abstract

Tahaddart (Tangier, Morocco) is a Roman site with eight fish salting plants, excavated and published in the 1960s. Since then, the site, which is located on a sandy spit between a meander of the Tahaddart river and the Atlantic Ocean, had remained forgotten and hidden under dense vegetation. In 2021, the MAROCO project (INSAP-University of Vigo) was started with the aim of analyzing the trade contacts of the ancient province of Mauretania Tingitana during Antiquity. The main focus of the project lies in Tahaddart, including systematic excavations and a multidisciplinary project that seeks to resume studies on the production and distribution of salted fish products in northern Morocco. This article summarizes the main results of the three archaeological campaigns and the geophysical survey carried out at Tahaddart to date, focusing in particular on the salted fish industrial buildings (floor plans, internal distribution and phases).

毛里塔尼亚廷吉塔纳的Garum生产：在摩洛哥阿西拉的Tahaddart现场调查季节（2021-2024）的结果

Tahaddart（摩洛哥丹吉尔）是一个罗马遗址，有八个鱼盐渍厂，于20世纪60年代出土并发表。从那时起，这个位于Tahaddart河和大西洋之间的沙岬上的遗址就被遗忘了，隐藏在茂密的植被之下。2021年，MAROCO项目（insap -维戈大学）启动，目的是分析古代毛里塔尼亚廷吉塔纳省的贸易往来。该项目的主要重点在Tahaddart，包括有系统的挖掘和一个多学科项目，旨在恢复对摩洛哥北部咸鱼产品生产和销售的研究。本文总结了迄今为止在Tahaddart进行的三次考古活动和地球物理调查的主要结果，特别关注咸鱼工业建筑（平面图，内部分布和阶段）。

期刊介绍： African Archaeological Review publishes original research articles, review essays, reports, book/media reviews, and forums/commentaries on African archaeology, highlighting the contributions of the African continent to critical global issues in the past and present. Relevant topics include the emergence of modern humans and earliest manifestations of human culture; subsistence, agricultural, and technological innovations; and social complexity, as well as topical issues on heritage. The journal features timely continental and subcontinental studies covering cultural and historical processes; interregional interactions; biocultural evolution; cultural dynamics and ecology; the role of cultural materials in politics, ideology, and religion; different dimensions of economic life; the application of historical, textual, ethnoarchaeological, and archaeometric data in archaeological interpretation; and the intersections of cultural heritage, information technology, and community/public archaeology.
