The Archaeology of Fazzan is a major series of reports on the
archaeology and history of Libya's south-west desert region. This
volume contains reports and analysis on a series of excavations
carried out between 1958 and 1977 by the British archaeologist
Charles Daniels, lavishly illustrated by site plans and numerous
colour photographs- particularly of the rich artefact assemblages
recovered. The publication will be high profile and a significant
landmark in work seeking to record information about Libya's
long-term Saharan heritage. It will be an indispensable reference
work to the nature of the Libya's Saharan archaeology. The work
will be of major value to the Libyan antiquities service and
contracted archaeologists in concert with foreign oil companies,
the NOC and the GMMR, and other similar major schemes. The key
element of the story of Fazzan is the existence here of an early
Libyan civilisation, the Garamantes, and the publication of the
Archaeology of Fazzan volumes is putting in the public domain a
rich dossier of information about their antecedents and descendants
in this desert environment. This was a singularly important moment
in Libya's cultural history, with resonances also in Sub-Saharan
Africa. There is great interest in the published volumes from
specialists in Saharan, Sub-Saharan and Mediterranean
archaeologists and historians as for the first time we can see in
detail the effect of early Trans-Saharan links.
