This volume presents and discusses the large volume of finds from the excavations at the Red Sea port of Myos Hormos, a major node in Rome’s trade with the east. The many specialist chapters focus on ceramics, metal artefacts, glass, wooden artefacts, ship fittings, finds related to fishing, plant remains, faunal remains, basketry and some written material. A seperate volume, however will cover the pottery, textiles, palaeobotany, ostraca and paper documents.
