Phoenician colonization | R-bloggers
Figura de Astarté – Museo Arqueológico de Sevilla, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons I was reading Phoenician colonization from its origin to the 7th century BC (Manzano-Agugliaro et al. 2025) and thought it was an interesting dataset, but alas: it is split in four tables, behind a javascript redirect (wtf Taylor & Francis?) and with DMS coordinates (including typos and special characters)… So not easily reusable. Let’s go build an accessible dataset.
