Abstract
According to Herodotus’s Histories, the people living a ten day’s journey to the west of the Garamantes was the Atarantes As suggested by Liverani, if the Garamantes are to be placed in the Wadi al-Ajal around Jarma/Garama, this would likely locate the Atarantes in the Wadi Tanzzuft/Tadrart Akakus region Fig. 3.1). Archaeological research over the last two decades has considerably improved our knowledge of Saharan civilisations that developed from the early first millennium BC to the late first millennium AD. It is now possible to get a deeper insight on how the people living in the Wadi Tanzzuft/Tadrart Akakus region expressed their identity through material culture and behaviour and their relation to trajectories in Garamantian culture.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
