The Archaeological Survey of the Desert Roads between Berenike and the Nile Valley Expeditions by the University of Michigan and the University of Delaware to the Eastern Desert of Egypt, 1987-2015, 2019

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.

In late June - July 2008 a three-person team under the aegis of the University of Delaware (USA) conducted a three-week, site-intensive survey at Petra of the paved and partially colonnaded street / decumanus maximus (hereafter referred to as the decumanus
maximus) and some of the adjacent features. The team included Steven E. Sidebotham (USA), Ross I. Thomas (UK) and Mary A. Sidebotham
(USA). Jean-Louis Rivard (Canada) augmented the plans and drawings somewhat based on additional survey work he and Sidebotham
undertook at Petra in May - June 2013
