The British Institute for Libyan and Northern African Studies Archive is based here at the University of Leicester. This blog posting highlights some online materials relating to several key women archaeologists.
A key example is Dame Kathleen Mary Kenyon (1906 – 1978), after whom a building on campus was recently named. The BILNAS Archive holds the records of Kenyon’s work at the site of Sabratha, a key Punic and Roman trading port on the Libyan Coast. There, alongside John Bryan Ward-Perkins, she refined stratigraphic excavation techniques to establish a chronological framework for the site.
It is possible to consult the files and photographs, and reports done by the entire team at the excavations.
