| Summary | Greek and Roman harbour-town of Aptouchus, located near Al Haniyah, Libya, is at risk of destruction due to coastal erosion, urban expansion, and the construction of a military-funded holiday resort. Despite the site's extensive remains, archaeological fieldwork has been limited. The Cyrenaica Coastal Survey project assessed the site's condition in 2020, noting significant damage and the urgent need for action. This project proposes digital recording of the remaining settlement and harbour, in addition to targeted survey. The aims include comprehensive digital recording of terrestrial and submerged features, establishing site chronology and harbour layout. The project timeline spans from April to December, including fieldwork, data evaluation, report writing, and publications. |
