Some Ptolemaic and Roman Sites in the Central Eastern Desert
The University of Delaware conducted numerous surveys in the Eastern Desert between 1987 and 2015. This contribution examines eight sites studied between 1990 and 1999 that lay east of the Nile city of Qena in Upper Egypt. They include mines, quarries, and road infrastructure (forts and accommodations for transport animals) that supported these mineral extraction activities. Sites throughout the region range from pre-historic to Islamic and moder…
Survey of the Via Hadriana
A Ptolemaic Inscription from Bir 'Iayyan
Transcription, traduction anglaise et commentaire d'une inscription gravee sur une stele de gres, de la periode ptolemaique, qui constituent une sorte de borne marquant une distance depuis le Nil, installee par le toparche Rhodon, fils de Lysimaque.

Survey of the 'Abu Sha'ar-Nile Road
In January 1989 a survey conducted by the University of Delaware studied all, and redrew plans of most, key installations along the ancient thoroughfare between the Red Sea coast at 'Abu Sha'ar and the Nile emporium of Kainopolis (Qena). Installations in the Roman quarries at Mons Porphyrites were also examined. The survey dated activity at these sites primarily through careful analysis of surface ceramics and secondarily with reference to epigra…
Stations and Towers on the Quseir–Nile Road

Merchants plied this route with commodities imported from and exported to the ‘East’. Products of the mines and quarries of the region also passed along this road. Eight fortified stations (hydreumata), other population centres and about 65 towers delineate the route. Many of the stations contain wells or cisterns as potab…
