Résumé

The site of Henchir Bourgou located on the northeast coast of Jerba was inhabited from Prehistory until Late Antiquity. It was probably the most important town and the capital of this island in Punic times. Its prosperity, for which there is evidence from imposing monuments such as the famous mausoleum and two Hellenistic temples recently uncovered, could be explained not only by its agricultural resources properly developed, but also from its flourishing maritime trade throughout the port of Ghizène. In Roman Imperial times, Henchir Bourgou became less important: the urban space had become smaller: gradually it had been replaced by another town set to be the capital of the Island for many centuries: Meninx.
