註釋A detailed interdisciplinary study by archacologists, geographers and historians in a single region (the basins of the Wadis Sofeggin and Zem Zem in Tripolitania, in north-western Libya). The desert margins of North Africa are extremely rich in archaeological ruins of the Roman period, evidence of dense settlement 2,000 years ago in what are now arid and hostile environments. This project's methodologies for studying the archaeology of arid-zone agriculture have been recognized internationally, and the results of their application have transformed our understanding of how the desert margins of North Africa were farmed in antiquity, with important implications for modern agricultural planning.
