The British Museum
London England
In room 57 of the British Museum you can see artifacts from the archaeological site of Tharros. A few of these finds can also be viewed online on the site of the British Museum. In the nineteenth century the museum acquired jewels and statuettes that were found in the punic graves near Tharros. Most of these are now permanently shown. The museum also edited a catalogue on the jewels from Tharros: R.D. Barnett and C. Mendleson (eds), Tharros: a catalogue of materials (London, The British Museum Press, 1987).
