Saharan trade has been much debated in modern times, but the main
focus of interest remains the medieval and early modern periods,
for which more abundant written sources survive. The pre-Islamic
origins of Trans-Saharan trade have been hotly contested over the
years, mainly due to a lack of evidence. Many of the key
commodities of trade are largely invisible archaeologically, being
either of high value like gold and ivory, or organic like slaves
and textiles or consumable commodities like salt. However, new
research on the Libyan people known as the Garamantes and on their
trading partners in the Sudan and Mediterranean Africa requires us
to revise our views substantially. In this volume experts re-assess
the evidence for a range of goods, including beads, textiles,
metalwork and glass, and use it to paint a much more dynamic
picture, demonstrating that the pre-Islamic Sahara was a more
connected region than previously thought.
