The impact of a changing environment on human society and,
conversely, the impact of man's activities upon the environment are
important and contentious subjects today. Climatic and
environmental change have also been credited with bringing about
major shifts in human history. One such case is that of the decline
of Roman North Africa and its conquest by the Arabs. The evidence
for this process is, however, far from clear-cut, and Professor
Shaw's concern in these studies is firstly to re-examine what is
known, from both archaeological and written sources, and how it has
been interpreted, work which has led to some substantial revisions
of accepted accounts. In the final three articles he turns to
analyse how Roman society functioned on the edge of the desert and,
in particular, to investigate the careful exploitation and control
of critical water resources.
