Summary

The distribution of funerary stone structures in the Saharan landscape has been a subject of interest for the Italian-Libyan Archaeological Mission in the Tadrart Akakus and Massak since the early ’90sThis archaeological evidence gave witness to an enduring human settlement, lasting at least from the Pastoral period to Proto-historical times, and played an important role in the definition of the cultural identities of the local groups,while representing a source of information about population features and dynamics.In the twentieth century, only a few excavations were carried out in cemeteries located in Fazzan. In 1997, as part of an interdisciplinary project focused on Holocene environment and human settlement until the rise of the Garamantian civilisation, our mission started a systematic survey and excavation of funerary structures in the Wadi Tanzzuft. The 2004–06 investigation of Fewet necropolis needs to be viewed in this framework.
