Samedi 18 février 2012, de 9h15 à 18h30. King’s College London, Strand Campus, Safra Lecture TheatreCentre for Hellenic Studies, Society for Libyan StudiesThe Centre for Hellenic Studies at King's and the Society for Libyan Studies present a workshop, open to all, as an opportunity to record and celebrate the historical and cultural importance of Libya.The surge of recent events in Libya may have left people with a sense of a country which is nothing but a battlefield - rather than the home of five World Heritage sites, reflecting an exceptionally long and diverse cultural heritage. The transformations which are now taking place in Libyan society should include a transformation in examining and protecting the cultural monuments. We aim to present this rich tradition to a wider audience, and explain its importance for our understanding of several phases of human history - to make clear why Libya Matters to us all.ProgrammeFrom 9.15 Registration with Tea &#38; Coffee9.45 - 11.15Unique and diverse : Libya before the historical record Kevin White : The Physical Geography of Libya Marta Lahr : A sand bridge across Africa - prehistory of the Libyan Sahara Graeme Barker : Deep prehistory in the Haua Fteah cave, Cyrenaica.11.15 -11.30 Break11.30 - 12.30 Tertia Barnett : The engraved landscape : rock carvings of the Wadi al-Hayat, Fazzan Robert Morkot : The Libu and the Meshwesh : Egypt's view of "Libyans"12.30 -13.30 Sandwich Lunch13.30 - 15.30Greek and Roman Libya Susan Walker : Apollo's children : Cyrene's story in sculpture Andrew Wilson : The focus of trade : Lepcis and Sabratha Philip Kenrick : On the desert margin : rural settlements in Tripolitania and Cyrenaica Paul Bennett : Layers of culture : Euhesperides/ Berenike15.30 -16.00 Tea break16.00 -17.30Continuities and changes David Mattingly : The Garamantes and other Desert Cultures Isabella Sjostrom : After Rome : the archaeology of Islamic Libya Saul Kelly : Wars in the Desert : Libya in the two world wars17.30 -18.30The current situation : Hafed Walda The Future for the Past : round-table discussionRéservation obligatoire : King's College London
