Digital Archive from Ghirza: A Libyan Settlement in the Roman Period, 1953-1984

This collection, held by the British Institute for Libyan & Northern African Studies (BILNAS), contains digitised correspondence, field notes, drawings, publication drafts, reports, maps, plans and photographic material relating to David J. Smith and Olwen Brogan's work at the Romano-Libyan settlement of Ghirza. The data in these collections relate to an extensive and detailed survey (plus some selective excavations) of Ghirza, located 250 km (150 miles) south-east of Tripoli, Libya, and approximately 130 km (80 miles) inland from the Gulf of Sidra. These collections also include data relevant to other sites and locations in pre-desert Tripolitania gathered during the same expeditions. The results of fieldwork conducted by Olwen Brogan and David J. Smith at Ghirza between 1953 and 1957 were published in 1984 under the title "Ghirza: A Libyan Settlement in the Roman Period" by the Department of Antiquities in Tripoli.
