Through lectures, conferences, and publications, Byron Khun de Prorok emphasized the significance of salvaging valuable artifacts from the ancient site of Carthage before it was fully overtaken by new construction. In response, the Franco-American excavation team at Carthage in 1925 published this preliminary report of their key results. While the most vital finds, primarily from the Punic stratum in the precinct of Tanit, would be published later, this preliminary report abstains from correlating these finds with others previously discovered in North Africa, Sardinia or Motya. George R. Swain, the University of Michigan's Near East Research photographer, provided numerous illustrative photographs, while George F. French and W. E. Renner contributed survey drawings and maps, respectively. This detailed report preserves the findings from the Carthage site for readers.
