War and Community in Late Antiquity
Late Antiquity (ca. 250–600 CE) was a world at war: barbarian migrations, civil wars, raids, and increasingly porous frontiers affected millions of its inhabitants. While military and political historians have long grappled with this history, scholars of late antique society and culture rarely interrogate the consequences of near constant warfare on civilian populations, fighting forces, and the built environment. War and Community in Late Antiqu…
On Pulchi Shake and Spear
This interview explores the work of Bruno Leone, a Neapolitan puppeteer, credited with reviving the traditional Neapolitan guarattelle theatre. Leone discusses the history and characteristics of Guarattelle, a glove puppet theatre centred on the character of Pulcinella. He speaks of his training with Nunzio Zampella, his work in training new puppeteers, and the founding of the Scuola delle guarattelle. Leone also gives an insight into his creativ…
An integrated methodology for the documentation and protection of cultural heritage in the Mena region
This paper presents the methodology and overall outcomes from the Training in Action project (TinA), funded by the British Council's Cultural Protection Fund between 2017 and 2019, which has built capacity among 72 employees of the Department of Antiquities of Libya (DoA) and the Institut National du Patrimoine de Tunisie (INP). It highlights the integrated and comprehensive nature of the training based on an innovative approach designed to incre…

The End of the Pagan City
This book focuses primarily on the end of the pagan religious tradition and the dismantling of its material form in North Africa (modern Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya) from the fourth to the sixth centuries ad. It considers how urban communities changed, why some traditions were lost and some others continued, and whether these carried the same value and meaning upon doing so. Addressing two main issues, mainly from an archaeological perspective, t…

The Fate of Pagan Religious Architecture
Roman Africa and the Sahara
This article discusses the urban and rural organisations and economy during the Roman period in North Africa, between the first century BC after the creation of the first African Roman Province and the beginning of the fifth century AD until the Vandal conquest. It notes the interactions, connections, and exchanges that characterised Romans and local populations, particularly in the Sahara, during this period. It examines colonialism and Roman ar…

Sabratha
The settlement of Sabratha, along the shore of Tripolitana (Libya), developed out of an emporium (trading post, see EMPORION ) founded by Phoenician merchants. The exact date of foundation is uncertain, although the natural harbor probably determined the occupation of the coastal area from the seventh century BCE ; literary sources mention the settlement starting from the late fourth century BCE . Probably the original market square of the area b…
Bulla Regia
The site of Bulla Regia (Hamman Daradji) is located in the Mejerda valley.
Water management in late antique North Africa
Christianity and paganism, IV
The diffusion of Christianity in North Africa involved complex interaction on several fronts, first among the pagans and the Christians, and then within the church itself as schisms occurred. The Christianisation of North Africa was followed by a progressive acquisition of power (both religious and secular/ economic) by the clergy. This chapter synthesises the main phases of this process, focusing on the role of the clergy, its transformation ove…
Topographies of Production in North African Cities During the Vandal and Byzantine Periods
An important characteristic of North African cities in Late Antiquity is the appearance of structures relating to artisanal production in unusual settings, often in former public buildings. In this paper I argue for developing a study of this sector, looking not only at products, such as pottery, but also at productive structures and their wider urban location. Archaeological evidence from Tunisia and Tripolitania is analysed, dating from Vandal,…
The Fezzan Project 2001
The Fezzan Project completed its five-year fieldwork cycle in 2001. The geographical research team located numerous additional palaeolake sites within the Edeyen Ubari, using a combination of Remote Sensing technology and field visits. Additional samples were taken for analysis and dating from many lake edge locations, relating to both the large Pleistocene lake and to the numerous smaller Holocene lakes that have been identified by the team. The…
The Fezzan Project 2000
The fourth season of the Fezzan Project continued the interdisciplinary approaches of previous seasons. Geographical and environmental work focused principally in sampling sediments for scientific dating and with integrating ground observation with remote sensing data. Excavations continued at Old Germa, where the site has now reached Garamantian levels. In a separate development, the tentative identification has been made of an early mosque at t…
Change or No Change? Revised Perceptions of Urban Transformation in Late Antiquity
The Fezzan Project 1998
The Fezzan Project is investigating the last 10,000 years of human settlement, landscape evolution and climatic change in the Germa region in southern Libya. The second season in February–March 1998 comprised interdisciplinary research in archaeology and geography, centred around excavation and survey work carried out at the site of Old Germa. To date, three phases of mud brick buildings have been partially explored. In addition, wider geomorphol…
