STORYLINE:

China and Tunisia have carried out a joint archaeological excavation operation in Tunisia's Ben Arous Forest archaeological site since the end of October. The team has finished the excavation work for about 500 square meters.

According to the analysis of the unearthed items, the excavation site might have been a dyehouse in the ancient Roman period.

The excavation site is located in the 12,000-square-meter forest area of Ben Arous province, which used to be a settlement site from the Carthage period to the ancient Roman period.

The site was discovered and immediately protected during the construction of the China-aided Ben Arous Sports and Cultural Center for Youth in 2019.

A joint archaeological cooperation agreement to conduct archaeological investigation, excavation, and protection of this site was signed by China and Tunisia in June 2023.
