This working group, led by Marine Yoyotte, Irene Forstner-Müller and Harco Willems, is part of a collaboration between IFAO, OeAI (Cairo branch) and KU Leuven.The volume brings together nineteen both innovative, interdisciplinary contributions from the Pharaonic period to the Middle Ages, representing the first attempt yet to understand ancient Egyptian harbours, their function and their integration in the network of Egyptian waterways. The various articles, written by specialists in each of the aforementioned fields, bring together textual, archaeological and geomorphological data considered to understand the role of river harbours in the specific Nile landscape.
