This study catalogs over 900 archaeological objects uncovered from Norwegian excavations at Tegea, focusing particularly on those found within 8th-century B.C. temples, a metal workshop, and the bothros. Among the artifacts, bronze is the most prevalent due to a local workshop, followed by materials such as gold, terracotta, and bone. The categorization and conservation processes of these finds are detailed, along with methods of registration and documentation, contributing valuable insights into the site's assemblage and archaeological context.

A small island off Morocco's Atlantic coast -in antiquity a peninsula -was where the west Phoenician maritime trade route met an African caravan road. There was sale and barter, the latest news was exchanged and tales were told from all corners of the world. The hotly traded goods were fish in great quantities, ivory, metals, exotic animals, the amber-like resin of Thuja berberisca/citrus, and precious spices. Our cover photo shows Essaouira, the town on the mainland. It was known as the "harbour of Timbuktu" until the sixties. Caravans continued to arrive from the African hinterland and all European trading nations maintained consulates in the little coastal town.
