Between 1999 and 2003 the University of Southampton conducted
excavations on the site of Quseir al-Qadim (western shores of the
Red Sea), a place that had not been examined since the excavations
by the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago ended in
1982. The new work was prompted by the discovery that the site of
Quseir al-Qadim was, in all probability, not that of the minor port
of Leucos Limen, as had been previously thought, but none other
than Myos Hormos. This port, together with its sister harbour
Berenike, articulated Rome's trade with India and the East. This
second volume concentrates on the finds made during the excavation
period and the volume concludes with an overview of what we now
know of the nature and function of the ports of Myos Hormos and
Quseir al-Qadim and a discussion of outstanding problems which can
only be resolved by further work.
