The Archaeology of Fazzan, Volume 1

Edited by D. J. Mattingly

‘An extraordinary civilisation emerged on the very margins of the Classical world in the remote Libyan desert. This is a vital study of a society at the crossroads between the Mediterranean and continental Africa.’ (Professor Michael Fulford, University of Reading)

‘The Garamantes have emerged from the shadows. This study of the Fazzan from remotest antiquity to the present day is striking for the extent and range of the enquiry, the meticulousness of its documentation, and the clarity of its exposition. The completed volumes will immediately become the standard work on the region, and seem unlikely ever to be superseded.’ (Professor Roger Wilson, University of Nottingham)

414 pages, 460 figs (many in colour); 31 tables; Arabic summary.

Excavations at Sidi Khrebish, Benghazi (Berenice) Vol. 2
G. Barker, A. Bonanno J.A. Riley

This volume contains an important report on the environmental evidence from Berenice, discussed in the wider context of Hellenistic and Roman agriculture in Cyrenaica. Catalogues and discussions of 40 sculptural and 159 terracotta fragments from the site are then followed by a major report on the amphorae, both local and imported and all the other coarse pottery with quantified tabulation. The pottery typology has great significance for the whole Mediterranean region, reflected in an important series of distribution maps.

De Africa Romaque: Merging Cultures Across North Africa

Edited by Niccolò Mugnai, Julia Nikolaus, Nick Ray
 

When the Roman Empire progressively expanded its influence over the North African continent, it encountered a very heterogeneous mix of peoples with a long and diverse history. This collection of papers from the conference De Africa Romaque: Merging Cultures Across North Africa (Leicester, 2013), explores the mutual relationships between North African societies and Rome, within this context. Moving away from traditional narratives of dominance and resistance, the discussions focus on bringing the local peoples of North Africa and their varied cultural features back into the fore.
