Years of mudbrick at Arslantepe: Ancient earthen architecture and modern sustainability
Arslantepe is a 5000-year-old mound in eastern Anatolia featuring early examples of advanced planning, skilled craftsmanship and durable earthen architecture. Over the last four decades, it has been preserved through minimal, reversible interventions and protective shelters. Comparison with surviving traditional mudbrick houses in nearby Orduzu shows enduring continuities in design, materials, and maintenance. The loss of this know-how and its ex…

Garamantian Oasis Settlements in Fazzan
In this chapter we present a case study of early oasis development relating to the area of south-west Libya known as Fazzan and the ancient people known as the Garamantes. The Garamantes were first firmly identified with this area by Duveyrier in the mid-nineteenth century. As will be explained in more detail below, the archaeological rediscovery of the Garamantes properly commenced with a pioneering Italian mission in 1933. There were some large…
Recent Trends in Food History in Ancient Near-Eastern Studies
The article is a presentation of the recent trends in food history in near eastern studies, and covers the last ten years of researches, with different perspectives
Water and power”: What is left? An introduction to the workshop “Waterscapes: new perspectives on hydrocultural landscapes in the ancient Near East”
Identity Markers in South-Western Fazzan: Were the People of the Wadi Tanzzuft/Tadrart Akakus Region Garamantes?
According to Herodotus’s Histories , the people living a ten day’s journey to the west of the Garamantes was the Atarantes As suggested by Liverani, if the Garamantes are to be placed in the Wadi al-Ajal around Jarma/Garama, this would likely locate the Atarantes in the Wadi Tanzzuft/Tadrart Akakus region Fig. 3.1). Archaeological research over the last two decades has considerably improved our knowledge of Saharan civilisations that developed fr…
Collapse or transformation? Regeneration and innovation at the turn of the first millennium BC at Arslantepe, Turkey
Ongoing excavations at Arslantepe in south-eastern Turkey are revealing settlement continuity spanning two crucial phases at the transition from the second to the first millennium BC: the post-Hittite period and the development of Syro-Anatolian societies
The archaeology of Fazzān: Volume 4, survey and excavations at Old Jarma (ancient Garama) carried out by C.M. Daniels (1962–69) and the Fazzān Project (1997–2001)

Writing the desert: The ‘Tifinagh’ rock inscriptions of the Tadrart Acacus (southwestern Libya)
The mountain ranges of the Tadrart Acacus and Messak in southwestern Libya (central Sahara) are widely known for their outstanding rock art inventory and some key prehistoric sites. This paper illustrates the preliminary outcomes of current investigations on the ‘Tifinagh’ inscriptions of the Tadrart Acacus the recording of which has recently increased thanks to the support of ‘Endangered Archives Programme’ of the British Library. Its aim is two…
A Preliminary Report of Excavations in Fewet, Libyan Sahara
In 1997, the .Joint Italian-Libyan Archaeological Mission in the Akakus and Messak (Libyan Sahara)., presently directed by Savino di Lernia, started a program of historical archaeology aimed at recovering remains of the Garamantian period, ca 800 BC to 350 AD. One of the selected sites is Fewet, a small but well nucleated oasis some 10 km SW of Ghat. After a first sounding in 2001, part of the settlement was excavated in 2002-2003, and the adjace…
