This volume of the report on excavations at Marsa Matruh on Bates's Island, which is located on the seacoast at the north of Egypt's western desert, publishes the local and imported pottery, the crucibles and other evidence for metalworking, the organic finds (including ostrich egg shells), and the other discoveries made at the site. The pottery found in the excavations indicates that this small Late Bronze Age settlement had links to several cultures: Cyprus, the Aegean, Egypt, the coast of western Asia, and the local Marmarican people.
Donald White is Professor of Classical Archaeology at the University of Pennsylvania, and Curator of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology's Mediterranean Section. He is editor-in-chief of the publication series The Extramural Sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone at Cyrene, Libya.
