11 The first article published by the Thugga Survey considered rural inscriptions: De Vos, M., “Gli antichi insediamenti rurali nei dintorni di Dougga e il riciclaggio delle epigrafi,” in Khanoussi, M. and Maurin, L. (edd.), Dougga (Thugga). Études épigraphiques (Paris 1997) 201–6Google Scholar. Subsequent work has made this outdated, and a new overview would be desirable. The most notable early work on rural epigraphy near Thugga was by Carton, L., Découvertes épigraphiques et archéologiques faites en Tunisie (région de Dougga) (Paris 1895)Google Scholar.
12 De Vos (supra n.1) 193-95, suggests confiscation by either Claudius or Nero in A.D. 53 or 66 (cf. Tac., , Ann. 12.59)Google Scholar.
13 Evidence for assigning sites to the chronological table derives from the typology of finds (pottery, glass, inscriptions, buildings, tombs); the last three are discussed in the present volume, but further precision must await the detailed publication of the pottery.
14 Cf. supra nn. 2, 4 and 5. Only a small percentage of the artefacts collected during fieldwalking has been published in the previous reports.
