We report on the meteorite search campaign of April 2008, conducted by a joint Tunisian- Italian scientific expedition in southern Tunisia (Dahar region). Nine likely unpaired meteorites(seven H-class and two L-class chondrites) totalling ~1.3 kg were recovered by exploring an approximately 45 km^2 area, therefore demonstrating that southern Tunisia is a suitable terrain for systematic searches for meteorites.Type
