BC and the 7th c. AD.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis first part contextualizes the material within the historical background of Tripolitania, previous investigations and methodological foundations, the evidence for pre-Roman architectures and settlement, and the chronology of rural settlement during the period under study based on ceramic evidence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second part presents quantitative and qualitative analyses of the physical characteristics first of Roman military structures, and then of the main group of buildings under investigation: unfortified and fortified farm buildings. The ways in which different spaces may have been utilized and the spatial relationships between the settlement groups formed by these buildings provide insight into how and why different types of buildings developed in the countryside during between the 1st c. BC and the 7th c. AD.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese analyses demonstrate that the rural buildings of Tripolitania can be seen as meaningful reflections not only of the wide variety of activities taking place in the buildings themselves, but also of the varying histories and patterns of land-use in different parts of the region and even the status, wealth, and socio-cultural structures of the people who constructed and lived in them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nichole Sheldrick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1900971771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781900971775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Society for Libyan Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.60h x 8.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Nichole Sheldrick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982852423935,"sku":"9781900971775","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e018b9f-2faa-44ae-9e4c-70d2919e4a2c.jpg?v=1683263357","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/building-the-countryside-nichole-sheldrick-9781900971775","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
