摘要本文报道了在Euesperides（班加西）正在进行的项目的第五个赛季。在P '区的挖掘证实了倒数第二阶段的破坏和最后阶段的建设的日期为公元前261-250年，混合卵石和不规则镶嵌的马赛克。在倒数第二阶段的马赛克上发现了铭文;并对前一阶段的一些房间进行了调查。在Q区，拆除街道序列的工作继续进行，同时对临街房屋进行了调查，并收集了城市防御不同阶段的线的证据。在最新的防御线之外，在一个古老的采石场沟渠中进行的挖掘揭示了一个富含陶瓷和有机材料的垃圾存款。在R区，定义了庭院周围的房间，并调查了Murex紫色染料生产的最新阶段。应班加西市政府和文物局的要求，切割了评估沟，以评估拟议的开发对该市南部和东部考古遗迹的影响。对这些发现的研究也在继续。重建P区最后阶段马赛克的工作开始了，其中心主题可能是一只海豚，在波峰周围。对粗陶器的分析表明，公元前3世纪的粗陶器中有40-60%是进口的，其中许多来自布匿世界的地区;这表明活跃而定期的贸易网络。对双耳瓶的研究表明，科林斯式B型双耳瓶产于欧埃斯珀里德斯。
Abstract This article reports on the fifth season of the ongoing project at Euesperides (Benghazi). Excavation in Area P'confirmed a date of 261-250 BC for the destruction of the penultimate phase and the construction of the final phase, with mosaics of mixed pebble and irregular tesserae. An inscription was discovered on the mosaic of the penultimate phase; and some rooms of the preceding phase were investigated. In Area Q the dismantling of the street sequence continued, together with the investigation of houses fronting the street, and the evidence for the lines of different phases of the city defences. Outside the line of the latest defences, excavation in an ancient quarry ditch revealed a refuse deposit rich in ceramics and organic materials. In Area R the rooms surrounding the courtyard were defined, and the latest phases of Murex purple dye production were investigated. At the request of the Municipality and the Department of Antiquities of Benghazi, evaluation trenches were cut to assess the impact of proposed developments on the archaeological remains south and east of the city. Study of the finds also continued. Work began on reconstructing the design of the final phase mosaic in Area P, the central motif of which was probably a dolphin, within a wave-crest surround. Analysis of the coarsewares demonstrated that between 40-60% of third-century BC coarsewares at the site were imported, many from areas of the Punic world; this suggests active and regular trading networks. Study of the amphorae revealed that forms of Corinthian B amphorae were produced at Euesperides.
