VOLUME ONE Tins, stucljf was ^m(ierta]£en while the author neld • a Major atate Studentship, awardea Toy the Departnien.t of Jiducation and Beierice, at the -uepartment of Archaeo• logy: in the University of Jjurham, I vii'oula like first of all to remember and acknow• ledge the special de'bt "vvnich we O'we to Stephane G-seil who laid the foundations; of iklgerian archaeologyy and whose monumental work L'Atlas Ar-ch6ologla'u.e de l^AlMex-ie, puhlished m I9II, rirst drew attentioxi to the need for lurther investigation of the region that was Hauretania Gaesariensisi and provided the haslc reference v¥ork lor such an investigation. In the preparation oi this thesis I nave received generous: assistance from many people. I am particularly grateful to ur. d.O.

Fisher, Mead 01 the Department or G-eography, Durham:, for his encouragement Finally I would like to thank the people of western Algeria ior their courtesy and hospitality during my visit in the spring of 1968, a time when there was considerable iriction "between the govern• ments of Algeria and the United Kingdom. and ior a generous grant tof/ard the cost of a period of field-work in Algeria, without which a visit to Algeria would have "been impossi'blei to the staff of the British uouncll in Algiers ior their hospitality and many kindnesses during my visit to Algeria in March - May 1968; to Al. Sid Ahmed Baghli, Director of Antiquities, Algeria, M. P-A, Fevrier, Inspector of Antiquities, Algeria, "Mile. F. iiadra, Department of Antiquities, Algiers, and M. A. Nadjeh of Tiaret who directed my attention to lihraries, museums ana sites in western Algeria and vifithout whose generous co-operation it would have proved Impossi'ble for me to have visited several important sites in western Algeria, which lie some ciisuance from public transport routes; to Mp.?i/.Vif, Anson ana Mr. J.E. Knipe, Department of Geography (Atlas of iMorthern jsnglana), University of i^ewcastle upon Tyne, for their practical assistance and advice in the preparation and reproduction of the maps ana diagrams; and to Mr. W.

Birley, Head of the Department of Archaeology, Durham, who launched this study, read all the di'afts, and made important corrections, and comments, who, over a period of three years has always "been reaay to place his expert knowleage and advice at my disposal, and whose visit to Algeria in Marcii 1968 to aavise the Algerian government on the organisation of their i\n.tiq_uities Service did much to make my own period of rield-work in Algeria so profitable. For tiiese, and ior many other things, my deht to him is great, (over) k CONTiilNTS.
