  • Pottery from Roman Malta
    Cover Much of what is known about Malta’s ancient material culture has come to light as a result of antiquarian research or early archaeological work – a time where little attention Anastasi MALTA ARCHAEOLOGICAL REVIEW SUPPLEMENT 1 was paid to stratigraphic context. This situation has in part contributed to the problem of reliably sourcing and dating Maltese Roman-period pottery, particularly locally produced forms common on nearly all ancient Maltese sites. Pottery from Roman Malta presents a comprehensive study of Maltese pottery forms from key stratified deposits spanning the first century BC to mid-fourth century AD. Ceramic material from three Maltese sites was analysed and quantified in a bid to understand Maltese pottery production during the Roman period, and trace the type and volume of ceramic-borne goods that were circulating the central Mediterranean during the period. A short review of the islands’ recent literature on Roman pottery is discussed, followed by a detailed Pottery from Roman Malta contextual summary of the archaeological contexts presented in this study. The work is supplemented by a detailed illustrated catalogue of all the forms identified within the assemblages, presenting the wide range of locally produced and imported pottery types typical of the Maltese Roman period. Maxine Anastasi is a Lecturer at the Department of Classics and Archaeology, University of Malta. She was awarded a DPhil in Archaeology from the University of Oxford for her dissertation on small-island economies in the Central Mediterranean. Her research primarily focuses on Roman pottery in the central Mediterranean, with a particular Malta from Roman Pottery emphasis on Maltese assemblages.

  • An Introduction to Islamic Archaeology Archaeology Islamic To
    13064 eup Milwright:layout 9/2/09 12:33 Page 1 AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION TO ISLAMIC ARCHAEOLOGY TO ISLAMIC ARCHAEOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO ISLAMIC ARCHAEOLOGY In the beginning was the Qur’an,- the first book of Islam and also the first book of Arabic literature. Occasioned by the need to understand and interpret the word of God, and the teachings of the Prophet Muh. ammad, Muslims made an inventory and study of their tradition. This involved the collection, transmission and instruction of the sacred text, of the words and deeds of Muh. ammad, and also of poetry, from both before and after the rise of Islam – indeed of all matters regarded as pertinent to the proper and scholarly study of the tradition. This activity, which began in the last third of the seventh century, relied predominantly on aural study with a master, that is, on oral communication between teacher and student, although writing was already an integral part of this process. In the present work Gregor Schoeler explains how Muslim scholarship evolved from aural to read. The result was the genesis of one of the richest literatures of late antiquity and the early middle ages, as is clear from the widespread dissemination of scholarship through writing and the attendant proliferation of books. Gregor Schoeler is Professor and Chair of Islamic Studies in the Orientalisches Seminar at the University of Basel. His many publications include The Oral and the Written in Early Islam (2006). Shawkat M. Toorawa is Associate Professor of Arabic Literature and Islamic Studies at Cornell University. He is the author of Ibn Abi Tahir Tayfur and Arabic Writerly Culture (2005).

  • Settlement and Society in Early Medieval North Africa (650–800)
    Al-Masa¯q, 2013 Vol. 25, No. 1, 9–33, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09503110.2013.767008 From Africa to Ifrı¯qiya: Settlement and Society in Early Medieval North Africa (650–800) CORISANDE FENWICK ABSTRACT North Africa is rarely mentioned in scholarship on the medieval Mediterranean. This paper demonstrates the potential of archaeology for understanding the impact of the Arab conquests on settlement and society in seventh- and eighth- century North Africa. Despite difficulties in dating early medieval occupation, synthesis of the available evidence reveals that the Arab conquest was not catastrophic for settled life. Mapping the distribution of urban sites across North Africa shows that the majority of Byzantine towns were not abandoned but remained significant centres. The rural evidence is less clear, but suggests a relatively busy countryside of estates, farms and fortified villages. The paper then presents three detailed case-studies of the towns of Tocra, Sbeïtla and Volubilis in the early medieval period, before considering more broadly the evidence for fortifications, religious buildings (churches and mosques), housing and production in towns. It concludes with some preliminary observations on the nature of Arab rule in North Africa from the perspective of the archaeological evidence. Keywords: Archaeology – sites; Africa – towns; Africa – archaeology; Morocco – archaeology; Tocra, Libya; Sbeïtla, Tunisia; Volubilis; Morocco Introduction1 Downloaded by [171.67.216.22] at 11:42 30 May 2013 North Africa has played little part in recent scholarship on the Arab conquests and subsequent transformation of the early medieval Mediterranean.2 It would be unfair to cast the blame on scholars of the broader Mediterranean when scholars of North Africa have only recently turned their attention to the fifth to ninth centuries, the so- called “siècles obscurs” or “dark ages”.
