A Multidisciplinary Approach to Alexandria's Economic Past: The Lake Mareotis Research Project

Emad Khalil
0/5 ( ratings)
Between 2004 and 2008 the Centre for Maritime Archaeology , University of Southampton and the Department of Underwater Antiquities of the Egyptian Supreme Council for Antiquities , in conjunction with the Centre for Maritime Archaeology and Underwater Cultural Heritage , University of Alexandria, conducted five seasons of survey along the shores of the western arm of Lake Mareotis, Alexandria, Egypt. This was to be the first systematic, comprehensive survey of the region, the aim being to more fully appreciate the nature of Lake Mareotis and the role it played in the economy of ancient Alexandria. An initial visit to the region in 2002 alerted the co-directors of the subsequent project, Lucy Blue and Sameh Ramses , to the huge potential of the area, as well as the immediate threats that the archaeology of the region faced.
