Western Marmarica Coastal Survey 2010: preliminary report

Abstract

Abstract The Western Marmarica Coastal Survey continued its work in 2010, concentrating upon an area roughly 10 km square around Marsa Lukk. Significant early material was found, from the Middle Stone Age to the Neolithic and, for the first time, a local chert source was identified in the area. A number of Early Roman sites, previously underrepresented at this period in the area, were identified, as well as Late Roman farms. The inventory of rock art sites also increased significantly and motifs recur across the area.
