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 1: The Fine Pottery (P. M. Kenrick) includes a detailed type series of the forms recorded in some 38 major categories of fine ware, spanning a period from the third century B.C. to the seventh century A.D. (more than 800 catalogued forms). Black-glazed wares, terra sigillata and other categories are documented from sources as far afield as Syria, the Black Sea and Gaul, providing important new evidence for trade patterns in the Mediterranean.
