  • Euesperides (Benghazi)

    Open AccessAndrew Wilson, Paul Bennett et al.ARTICLELibyan Studies2004Cited by: 3References: 7

    This article reports on the sixth season of the ongoing project at Euesperides (Benghazi). Excavation in Area P established the date of construction of the penultimate phase (and therefore of the plain pebble mosaic with inscription published last year) as 300-282 BC, following the abandonment and demolition of the antepenultimate phase beneath it. An area used for the preparation and cutting of the materials employed in the final-phase mosaics h…

    This article reports on the fifth season of the ongoing project at Euesperides (Benghazi). Excavation in Area P'confirmed a date of 261-250 BC for the destruction of the penultimate phase and the construction of the final phase, with mosaics of mixed pebble and irregular tesserae. An inscription was discovered on the mosaic of the penultimate phase; and some rooms of the preceding phase were investigated. In Area Q the dismantling of the street s…

  • Euesperides (Benghazi)

    Open AccessAndrew Wilson, Paul Bennett et al.ARTICLELibyan Studies2001Cited by: 9References: 8

    This article reports on the third season of the current project at Euesperides (Benghazi). A programme of geological augering has begun to investigate the presumed location of the ancient harbour and the process by which the harbour and neighbouring lagoon silted up during antiquity. Continued excavation in Area P has revealed two phases of buildings, with a plain pebble floor of the fourth century BC and mixed pebble and irregular tesserae floor…

  • Excavations at Euesperides (Benghazi)

    Open AccessJ A Lloyd, Paul Bennett et al.ARTICLELibyan Studies1998Cited by: 6References: 8

    A third season of excavation and finds analysis at Euesperides in March/April 1998 completed the fieldwork of the project begun in 1995. Further examination of the city defences suggests that their first phase should be dated not later than the early sixth century BC. The earliest masonry buildings within (and abutting) the city wall seem to belong to the 580s/570s BC. Other discoveries included a plain pebble pavement and a decorated ‘mixed styl…

  • Iron Age Ferrous Hammerheads from Britain

    Open AccessVanessa FellARTICLEOxford Journal of Archaeology1998

    There are more than thirty iron hammerheads known from the pre‐Roman Iron Age in Britain, the majority of which are assigned to the first centuries BC and AD. They include specialised tools, such as set hammers and a swage sledge‐hammer which are blacksmiths’ tools. The hand‐hammers are more numerous and many of these are probably also metalworkers’ tools. Fourteen have been examined by metallography showing that at least ten are quench hardened …

  • Iron Age iron files from England

    Open AccessVanessa FellARTICLEOxford Journal of Archaeology1997

    There are more than 40 iron files known from the pre‐Roman Iron Age in England, of which 26 come from settlements with evidence of manufacturing activities. The files vary considerably in size and form. The coarse‐cut files were probably intended for working soft or fibrous materials such as wood or horn, whereas the finer‐cut files were probably for working more compact or harder materials, including metals. This corresponds to the metallographi…
