==Description

Scrittura su argilla e ceramica is a project that collects Poenician, Punic and Neopunic inscriptions on clay or pottery from the central-western Mediterranean. One of its specific goals is "restoring the unity of inscription and its support" (Cavaliere et al. 2014).

As of September 2014, the database was not yet available on the Internet, but the responsibles sets forth to publish it at a later stage of development of the project.

The database addresses the issues related to the Phaenician alphabet encoding by using Unicode UTF-8 and configuring the MySQL database accordingly. For each inscription a digital image is provided.
