The Fayum Field School

egypt

A Ptolemaic Oasis

This project excavates at the Graeco-Roman town of Karanis, founded in the third century B.C. and abandoned during the early seventh century A.D. The preservation of the ancient remains is excellent and a wide range of archaeological materials, including botanical macro-remains, textiles, wood and metal, is studied by a large group of archaeological specialists. The general focus is the ongoing investigation of a domestic context in order to augment our knowledge of the archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological record, of which the large-scale Michigan excavations provided scant information.
