Bailey Benghazi
Bailey, D. Excavations at Sidi Khrebish Benghazi (Berenice). Volume III, Part 2: The Lamps. (Tripoli, 1985).
The excavations sponsored by the Society for Libyan
Studies at Sidi Khrebish (Benghazi) have provided a full account of the
Greek settlement and later Roman occupation of the city of Berenice. The
published volumes provide the most significant interdisciplinary
documentation of the archaeology of an urban site in North Africa, on a
scale comparable to Carthage. Volume III: Part 2: The Lamps (D. Bailey)
consists of a catalogue and discussion of the many thousands of lamps
and lamp-sherds recorded, of which over 1200 are illustrated. The
evidence of a substantial, but derivative, local lamp industry may be
compared with the huge volume of imports from Africa, Tripolitania,
Greece, Crete and Asia Minor.
