Between the Mediterranean and the Sahara: geoarchaeological reconnaissance in the Jebel Gharbi, Libya
View through CrossRef
Intensive survey and three sample sections at Jebel Gharbi in north-west Libya offer a new dated sequence of the environment, and the human presence within it, from the Middle Stone Age to the early Holocene. Hunter-gatherers were continuously active, including during the hitherto elusive Later Stone Age.
