Summary
Archaeological research at Tipasa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Algeria, reveals significant urban production of salted fish during the Roman era. While studies on coastal fish-processing workshops are well-documented in Morocco and Tunisia, investigations in Algeria remain limited. This study highlights the importance of Tipasa as a key center for this industry in the Maurétanie Césarienne region, contributing to our understanding of ancient economic activities in North Africa.
