This monograph contains the joint proceedings of the first two conferences organised by the Oxford Centre for Maritime Archaeology. It contains 23 papers that cover land-based and underwater excavation and survey in the area of the North-Western Nile Delta, principally concerning the cities of Alexandria and Heracleion-Thonis, as well as studies of aspects of the material culture from these sites.
Alexandria and the North-Western Delta, offers a taste of the diverse maritime and terrestrial fieldwork conducted in and around this ancient city. From port development and ancient cults to trade and geography, the wealth of topics is engaging.' -- Nautical Research Journal 56:4 Nautical Research Journal 56:4 The book is well written and nicely illustrated with both colour plates and detailed illustrations, and is easy to follow. The editors are to be complimented on the presentation of the material in a clear, well-ordered fashion with no glaring omissions or mistakes.[...]...this volume succeeds in presenting an image of the Northwestern Delta as a melting pot of cultures and peoples that was both vibrant and active and should prove to be a useful work for both students and researchers.' -- International Journal of Maritime History International Journal of Maritime History
