Cyrenaica Archaeological Project
Cyrenaica Archaeological Project
The Cyrenaica
Archaeological Project (CAP) is an international mission under the
direction of Professor Susan Kane, Oberlin College, USA. CAP is the
successor to the American archaeological mission in Cyrene that
excavated the Sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone in the Wadi Bel Gadir
under the direction of Professor Donald White, University of
Pennsylvania.
Using the
Wadi bel Gadir as its starting point, the ultimate aim of the Cyrenaica
Archaeological Project is to characterize the nature, pattern, and
dynamics of human habitation and land use in the city of Cyrene and its
territory. Cyrene is the lynchpin for understanding the area that it
dominates and future investigations will consider the micro-region of
Cyrene within the wider regional context of the Cyrenaica.
In addition
to its archaeological work, CAP is collaborating with the Department of
Antiquities in Shahat on a series of capacity building and
infrastructure improvement projects
