6th-century BC temple excavated at Mozia

Dateline, Trapani, via La Repubblica (our translation):

The results of the last two excavation campaigns, conducted by the soprintendenza ai beni culturali of Trapani and the University of Rome "La Sapienza", on the little Punic-Phoenician island of Mozia (a few hundred meters off the coast of Marsala) have now been presented.

The investigation, conducted with cutting edge technology, has resulted in the discovery of a sanctuary, labelled "Temple C", alongside the long, Eastern side of the Kothon (presumably a dock), in use from the 6th to the 4th centuries BC.
