Today Gunugo Diocese survives as a titular bishopric[10] of the Roman Catholic Church and the current bishop is Sylvester David, of Cape Town.

Outside the ramparts, we still come across cisterns, ashlars and, to the south-east, a few shafts and soft, crude capitals in the decadent Ionic order, which seem to have belonged originally to a Christian church or chapel from around the 5th century: at this time, Gunugu was a bishopric.

The presence of mixed bone remains indicates a complex interplay of cremation and non-cremation burial rites, reflecting the diverse cultural influences of the city's inhabitants.

Ceramic vessels, both imported from Italy and locally made, were common burial offerings, underlining Gunugu's role as a hub of Mediterranean trade and commerce.

The presence of cremation remains alongside traditional burials suggests cultural exchange and adaptation within the city's diverse community.

Three funeral rites were distinguished: the rarest involved simply laying the deceased on the ground, while another entailed haphazardly gathering bones, either on the floor, benches, troughs, or in clay vessels.

In the Larhat (formerly Vileborug) region, remnants of an ancient dam, constructed with rubble, lime, and sand, were found near Toued Mellah.

[22] This dam supplied water to the city of Gunugu (now Sidi-Brahim) via a canal constructed above the current road, lined with stone masonry and internally asphalted with crushed brick and lime.

Ruins of an ancient aqueduct were also observed along the Aïzer wadi, with intact arches at both ends, as well as remnants of canalization along its left bank.

Additionally, remnants of a dam on the Zaouïa wadi, located 500 to 600 meters downstream from the diversion point, were found, though their significance and purpose remain unclear.

[23] Among them, Gunugu itself, dating back to the 5th century BCE, stands out, reflecting evolving economic ties while political allegiance to Carthage remains uncertain.

Insights from Gsell and Cat (cited above) reveal remnants of a jetty and stairs near the promontory, supported by field surveys[26] uncovering reservoirs along the cliff walls overlooking the presumed port location, indicating potential water supply infrastructure for maritime activities.

In conclusion, while evidence hints at maritime infrastructure in Gunugu, including reservoirs and potential remnants of jetties, further archaeological investigations are necessary to determine the port's extent and nature.

Imported pottery from Italy, including finely crafted vases and vessels, provides tangible evidence of maritime links and commercial exchange.

While Roman-era treaties restricted direct Roman access to African ports, Gunugu probably served as an intermediary hub, receiving goods via Carthaginian merchants.
