The ancient Sahara has often been treated as a periphery or
barrier, but this agenda-setting book - the final volume of the
Trans-Saharan Archaeology Series - demonstrates that it was teeming
with technological innovations, knowledge transfer, and trade from
long before the Islamic period. In each chapter, expert authors
present important syntheses, and new evidence for technologies from
oasis farming and irrigation, animal husbandry and textile weaving,
to pottery, glass and metal making by groups inhabiting the Sahara
and contiguous zones. Scientific analysis is brought together with
anthropology and archaeology. The resultant picture of
transformations in technologies between the third millennium BC and
the second millennium AD is rich and detailed, including analysis
of the relationship between the different materials and techniques
discussed, and demonstrating the significance of the Sahara both in
its own right and in telling the stories of neighbouring regions.
