The medieval fortifications at Banganarti after the 2016 season
Journal Title: Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean - Year 2017, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
The state of preservation of Banganarti’s unique medieval mud-brick fortifications and the deposits accumulated against them allows a study of the history of these defenses and their immediate surroundings. Trenches excavated in the northeastern corner of the fortifications in 2016 gave a full cross section, starting with the layers preceding the construction of the defenses, through two phases of the fortifications and ending with traces of secondary use of the ruins.<br/><br/>
