  • Summary

    This chapter looks at how archeology participated in the invention of the Maghreb. If maps provided the form of the region, archeology provides the content of this form. Colonial archeologists stressed the Roman past, with its monuments and artifacts, from which they created an entire narrative tradition that connects the region with a particular past in the same way France was connected to Rome. Archeology provides the means by which the region was invented as a Roman and thus a Western area unseparated from Europe in the past, and attached to it in the present.
