1 box, 2 rolled items

Gift of R. M. Bradfield, Sept. 2012. The Roman Roads and Milestones of Tripolitania was added by R. M. Bradfield in October 2014.

Maps of Wadi Gsea and plans of the dams of the Wadi el-Me by David Oates, Alan Wells, and R. M. Bradfield, made during expeditions led by Oates in 1949 and 1950, and Bradfield's solo return to the area in 1951. While investigating late-Roman olive farms during the first expedition the team stumbled upon a series of massive late-Roman dams along the course of the Wadi e-Me, a major tributary of the Wadi Gsea. Most of the material contains explanatory notes by Bradfield made in 2011-2012.
