Summary

In this chapter we present a case study of early oasis development relating to the area of south-west Libya known as Fazzan and the ancient people known as the Garamantes. The Garamantes were first firmly identified with this area by Duveyrier in the mid-nineteenth century. As will be explained in more detail below, the archaeological rediscovery of the Garamantes properly commenced with a pioneering Italian mission in 1933. There were some large-scale excavations in the 1960s by Mohammed Ayoub and importantly this included work at the Garamantian capital of Old Jarma (ancient Garama), but the poor quality of the work limited the value of the published outputs. More reliable results were achieved by the team led by Charles Daniels between 1959 and 1977, excavating and surveying a number of sites in the area close to Jarma.
