Description

Explore the complex history of Saharan trade with this scholarly work from Cambridge University Press. While much modern debate focuses on the medieval and early modern periods due to available written sources, this text addresses the hotly contested pre-Islamic origins of Trans-Saharan trade. Archaeological evidence for these early networks is often difficult to find because key commodities like gold, ivory, salt, textiles, and slaves are either high-value or organic. This book provides new research on the Garamantes and their trading partners to help clarify these historical connections. It offers a deep look into the economic history of the region beyond the well-documented eras.
