- Phoeniciology
Phoeniciology is a sub-discipline of
Archaeology exclusively studying of ancientPhoenicia , occupying modern-dayLebanon andTunisia , and, to a lesser extent:Cyprus ,Sicily ,Sardinia ,Corsica ,Israel andSpain .It is difficult to practice because of the scarcity of sites. Some cities, such as
Carthage , have been destroyed by rivals. Most, however, have had continued significance up to this time period, and the buildings were just erected over the older ones.
