The event featured four papers by five members of the Polish-Moroccan research project, focusing on Roman-era remnants in northern Morocco. The event was co-organized by the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw and Institut National des Sciences de l’Archéologie et du Patrimoine.
Abstract: “Mauretania Tingitana was a Roman province encompassing the territories of present-day central and northern Morocco. This region is one of the least explored parts of the vast Roman Empire, and many questions regarding the issue of border zone protection remain unanswered. A Polish-Moroccan archaeological mission, operating since 2016, seeks to unravel the mystery of the functioning of the frontier zone protection system. During the seminar, the results of fieldwork at sites identified as Roman watchtowers during 2021 to 2023 will be presented.”
