The Tophet in what is now the island town of San Antioco, connected by a modern causeway that is said to parallel one built by the Romans. This site is said to have been built by the Carthaginian empire. It has been supposed that child sacrifices took place here, but more modern interpretations are that it is simply a children's cemetery. There were a few fragments of stela (gravestones) and terra cotta pots said to be funerary urns lying around -- as usual, the best examples of them were taken to the National Archeologial Museum in Cagliari. |
