The publication of the Eastern Desert Roads Surveys brings together
the research of two survey projects, the Michigan-Assiut
Koptos-Eastern Desert Project and the University of Delaware-Leiden
University Eastern Desert Surveys. From 1987 to 2001 and
intermittently thereafter until 2015, these two survey teams worked
independently to explore and document the archaeological remains
along the routes connecting the Nile Valley cities of Koptos
(modern Qift) and Apollinopolis Magna (modern Edfu) to the Red Sea
port city of Berenike in Egypt. The result of these surveys was the
documentation of seventy discrete archaeological sites ranging in
date from the late Dynastic to the Late Roman periods, with many
sites demonstrating long-term, multi-period occupation. The survey
also recorded road sections, route marking cairns and
graves/cemeteries. This monograph brings together and integrates
the discoveries of both teams, presenting a coherent analysis of
the extensive surveys and the materials documented by each.
Emphasis is placed on the physical setting of each site, its
material remains--including preserved architecture, pottery and
other surface finds--and relevant textual evidence, such as
inscriptions, ostraka and related historical texts. A single
chapter in gazetteer form is devoted to the sites themselves
(excluding mines and quarries, which form a separate chapter),
while other chapters present the geology of the region and ancient
mines and quarries, which made use of the road network, the pottery
evidence by phase, and specialist studies. An Introductory chapter
offers historical and disciplinary context for the surveys and
their subjects, tying the Berenike-Nile roads surveys into the
corpus of archaeological surveys in Egypt and the wider
Mediterranean world.
