Abstract

Abstract Preliminary results of survey and limited excavations at Euhesperides (Benghazi) and Tocra are discussed. At Euhesperides part of one residential insula was excavated and a mosaic discovered. Evidence is presented that the insula and the city defences are contemporary, dating from the early fourth to the third centuries BC. The earliest stratified levels beneath the floors of the insula date to the early sixth century BC. The work at Tocra comprised a full survey of all visible archaeological remains. In particular, close study and limited excavation of the Byzantine Fortress suggest that the structure survived long beyond the Arab invasions of AD 642.
