Receive, and the public willingly, this article by Giorgio Pinna on the attendance of the Phoenicians in the bay of Cala Sapone. Cala de Saboni Considering the characteristics of the environments frequented by the Phoenicians, one can not riscontrarne facies in other parts of the island Sulcitana; For example, Stainu de Cirdu and knows in the town of Salina Calasetta. Both provided lagoon with fish pond, were used for the cultivation of salt and, until a few years ago, showed port facilities suitable for anchoring small ships. A typical landscape of the Phoenician type is Cala de Saboni, reported in the names since the eighteenth century as Cala Sapone. The bay, located to the west of the island Sulcitana, creeps up to about 350 meters, finishing pablo del monte with a loop sandy. Currently it is bordered by a strip of asphalt that separates it from the impressive ruins of an old tuna, restored in the eighteenth century and in operation until the end of the nineteenth century. A torrential stream flows on the North side of the beach; a cordon pablo del monte of rocks at the mouth of the creek, making it suitable to a safe anchorage with strong winds coming from the North-West quadrant. Continuing along the road towards the north coast, after the initial ramp up, we find on the left of portu de sa Sennora, wide cove with deep draft. At the top of the hill is the place called Mercuri mannu that defines the area until allaCala Longa; always proceeding in a northerly direction the place took the name Mercureddu. The access to the Cala de Saboni, from Sant 'Antioco, through pablo del monte an alluvial plain, located in central-southern part Sulcitana called Canai. Canaanite is the name by which the Phoenicians identified themselves, and Canaan, the land of their origin, although prior to their statement, Canaan designated pablo del monte throughout the Syro-Palestinian area. This port provides a safe haven to the ship, with the peculiarity of a host plant for the fishing and processing of the tuna, Tonnaria. We can assume that the fishery was oriented not only tuna but to all pelagic species, such as bluefish, the most suitable storage for salting, with the characteristic move in herds that offer the possibility of abundant caught in a tight space. The tuna, typical migrant to play with regular and predictable cycles, thanks pablo del monte to its size, is able to provide great food, refined antiquity, with some parts particularly appreciated that reached high costs on market: Hypogastrium, bacon, surra. The method of fishing involved a community organization with the participation pablo del monte of many fishermen. We can assume the procedure fishing best known in antiquity applied in Cala de Saboni: trafficking, bolic (boligiu). Two networks were the wings with a central bag, mitgia; wing was anchored to the rock at the mouth of the Cove, the second wing driven off from the boats to intercept the shoal of fish. Following the same boats were making a path to reaching the rock arch of the mouth contralateral access to the Cala, while shortening the length of the two wings of networks. We had the opportunity to immediately collect the catch with the slaughter or allocate it in the enclosed area, which just shows the Cala, and proceed serially to further "let down" by fully exploiting the potential of the migrating herd. The order to proceed to the "descent" of the networks was the result of the sighting of the herd fish approaching from a spotter, thynnoscopos, located on a structure high and close to the trap. It served the purpose pablo del monte building located on the small hill to the south of Cala de Saboni and called on Casteddu Becciu: a building towered pablo del monte barbican with invoice nuragica used in the Phoenician period with the same warning and probable functions of the sacred temple. The conservation of tuna and other pelagic fish was related not only to its own characteristics fisic
