Through in-depth examinations of a range of technologies, this book demonstrates that the ancient and Medieval Sahara was as much a connective tissue as a barrier, and was teeming with innovation and knowledge exchange between mobile and sedentary groups. It is of value to historians, archaeologists, Africanists, and anthropologists.
Summarises the state of the field of funerary archaeology in the Sahara and its neighbouring regions and sets the agenda for future research on mobility, migration and identity. A seminal reference point for Mediterranean and African archaeologists, historians and anthropologists, and archaeologists interested in burial and migration more broadly.
An agenda-setting volume providing a new base-line of knowledge and understanding of the related processes of sedentarisation, urbanisation and state formation in the Sahara and its neighbouring regions. Calls into question older views about limited pre-Islamic oasis development and scepticism about the existence of towns and states.
