The Oxford Centre for Maritime
Archaeology has announced its International Archaeology Conference 2004, entitled
“City and Harbour: The Archaeology of Ancient Alexandria.” The conference will be held at St. Hugh’s
College, University of
Oxford, 18-19 December
2004. The conference will examine what recent
archaeological work, both land based and maritime, has contributed to our
understanding of the city of Alexandria. A
variety of scientific disciplines all of which have helped to explain the rise and
decline of ancient Alexandria are incorporated
in this event.
