Desert migrations project XVII: Further AMS dates for historic settlements from Fazzan, South-West Libya
journal contribution
posted on 2016-03-16, 10:39 authored by Martin J. Sterry, David John J. MattinglyA group of 25 new AMS radiocarbon dates for historic-era sites in Fazzan is presented. These provide further confirmation of the construction of numerous fortified villages and castle-like structures (iqsur) in two of the main oases belts of Fazzan during the Garamantian period, primarily in the third - sixth centuries AD. Further precision is also provided on the dating of a Garamantian and early Islamic urban centre called Qasr ash-Sharraba and the early modern capital of Fazzan at Murzuq.
