Collection Title | Digital Archive from Sabratha Excavations: The Kathleen Kenyon and John Ward-Perkins Collection, 1948-1951 |
Description | This collection from the British Institute for Libyan and Northern African Studies (BILNAS) contains digitised correspondence, field notes, drawings, publication drafts, reports, and photographs pertaining to excavations directed by Dame Kathleen Kenyon and John Ward Perkins at Sabratha, Tripolitania. With the exception of a small number of photographs of Lepcis Magna, the entire collection pertains to Sabratha. The material within the collection relates to the Forum, East Forum Temple, Capitolium, Basilica/Church and Temple of Serapis, Insulae, the Severan Monument, the Theatre, the Byzantine Defences and the Harbour, and finds pottery from said sites and monuments. The collection contains material relating to the publication of "Excavations at Sabratha, 1949 - 1951", written by Philip Kenrick and based on the excavations led by Kenyon and Ward Perkins. The monograph was published by the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies for the Society for Libyan Studies, Gloucester in 1986. Also present are notes and drawings relating to the Sabratha Finds Project which was carried out in the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, 1986 - c1989. As both of these projects used the original excavation records extensively before they became part of the Society for Libyan Studies Archive, their records have been maintained within the BILNAS collection. |
