N1 - Funding Information:
The investigations at Qsar es-Seghir have been supported by the Smithsonian Foreign Currency Program (Grant SF3-00091) and funds from the State University of New York at Binghamton International Studies Program. The success of this project would not have been possible without the participation of members of the Moroccan Ministry of Culture and Archaeological Service. The United States Embassy and Information Service in Rabat and the Consulate General in Tangier were also of great assistance. Much of the credit for this report belongs to other staff members who contributed material used here: J. Boone, J. Brice, B. Buffington, R. Holod, K. Kintigh, E. Myers, J. Rasson, J. Schulman, T. Rhode, B. Salthouse, R. Salthouse, K. Schreiber, C. Sinapoli, J. Tewksbury and P. Wattenmaker.

N2 - The medieval port fortress of Qsar es-Seghir is located midway between the modern cities of Tangier and Sebta on the Moroccan coast of the Strait of Gibraltar. Qsar es-Seghir was an active participant in the events and developments of the 12th through 16th centuries, although its population never grew to urban proportions. In addition to an historical and material reconstruc-tion of human activities during that era, another primary goal of the Qsar es- Seghir project is the improvement and evaluation of methods of archaeological research for examining complex society. This article presents the historical context of the investigations, a brief discussion of basic research strategies employed, and a summary of findings from the excavation.
