      abstract = {"Caravans of Gold, Fragments in Time draws on the latest  archaeological discoveries and art historical research to  construct a compelling look at medieval trans-Saharan  exchange and its legacy.

Topics include descriptions of key  medieval cities around the Sahara; networks of exchange  that contributed to the circulation of gold, copper, and  ivory and their associated art forms; and medieval glass  bead production in West Africa's forest region.
