Domestic firing activities and fuel consumption in a Saharan oasis. Micromorphological and archaeobotanical evidence from the Garamantian site of Fewet (Central Sahara, SW Libya)

We describe a combined geoarchaeological and archaeobotanical approach applied to the study of firing activities that have been carried out in a compound in the Central Sahara between the 3rd aand 1st century BC. The archaeological investigation has uncovered a mud-brick wall collapses, preserving an interesting sequence of living floors, whose micromorphological study is unique for the Central Sahara.
