Scope

'Indices of Sidi Khrebish Lamps, including Roman Mouldmade lamps. The indices feature serial numbers for the finds, photographs and manuscript notes. The indices likely relate to the eventual publication of "Excavations at Sidi Khrebish Benghazi (Berenice): Volume III. Part 2: The Lamps" (Bailey, 1985).'

Custodian History

'The material was held by John A. Lloyd at Oxford before being passed to David J. Mattingly. David Mattingly gave the material to John Dore on 3 May 1989 who deposited it to the Society for Libyan Studies Archive on 6 May 1989.'

Biographical history

'Donald M. Bailey worked extensively on Greek and Roman Pottery Lamps. His publications include "Greek and Roman Pottery Lamps", (British Museum, September, 1972), "Crowe\'s Tomb at Benghazi" The Annual of the British School at Athens, Volume 67 (1972), pp. 1-11, and "Excavations at Sidi Khrebish Benghazi (Berenice): Volume III: Part 2: The Lamps" (Socialist People\'s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Tripoli, 1985).', The latter of these consists of a catalogue and discussion of the many thousands of lamps and lamp-sherds recorded, of which over 1200 are illustrated. The evidence of a substantial, but derivative, local lamp industry may be compared with the huge volume of imports from Africa, Tripolitania, Greece, Crete and Asia Minor.'
