Human remains from ‘Marea’/Philoxenite, Egypt, 2021–2022
Human remains from ‘Marea’/Philoxenite, Egypt, 2023
The principal burial ground of 'Marea'/Philoxenite was located to the south-east of the main urban core of the town.The burial area, serving as a type of 'necropolis hill' on the account of its elevated position on a natural rock hill, is located little over 50m to the south-east of the public baths.Burials were already noted there by el-Fakharani (1983:176-178) though his account includes just a short description, without plans or photographs.Mo…
Church N1 at 'Marea'/Philoxenite
Philoxenite, a town and pilgrimage station on Lake Mareotis' southern shore in Egypt, was carefully planned as a comfortable stop for travellers visiting Saint Menas' sanctuary from across the Roman world. Archaeological excavations conducted at the site between 2021 and 2024 fully uncovered the remains of a Late Antique church (N1
An Archaeological Assessment of Parameters of Attractiveness of the Byzantine Port of Philoxenite, Lake Mareotis, on the Mediterranean Coast of Egypt
From Roman industrial center to early Islamic town
Being one of the biggest and best preserved archaeological sites in the western hinterland of Alexandria, ‘Marea’/Philoxenite is, therefore, one of the most important points of reference for studies of the Mareotis region. Despite the fact that the site has been investigated for many years, by various excavation teams, the nature and chronology of the different phases of settlement remain unclear. Since 2018, systematic stratigraphic excavations …
Marea
Archaeological investigations in late antique Marea, modern northern Hawwariya, Egypt, have revealed that a significant part of the site was a well-planned urban undertaking on a large scale, founded in the second half of the sixth century AD. Such newly planned urban sites are extremely rare in late antiquity
Excavations in the northern and eastern parts of the Byzantine town at Marea
The ‘Marea’ project of the University of Warsaw expanded the program to survey and excavation in the northern and eastern parts of the city in order to establish the character and chronology of the structures there. The eastern waterfront was uncovered, along with the adjacent latrines, streets and buildings which are presumed to be residential. The structures which were examined were very regularly formed and involved large-scale earthworks. The…
Marea/Northern Hawwariya in northern Egypt
Marea/Northern Hawwariya is one of the largest and most important archaeological sites dating between the 3rd century BC and the 8th century AD located at Lake Mareotis in northern Egypt. Even though excavations have been carried out since the end of the 1970s, the settlement is still largely unexplored. To rectify this situation, non‐invasive research has been carried out on 21.5 ha of the site using a precise positioning system and magnetometer…
