Summing up, this useful and interesting book is a precious tool for anyone wanting to explore the world of archaeobotany; at the same time, it is an easy read for non-experts intent on discovering the history of Berenike from a different perspective. Anna Maria Mercuri, Antiquity 2007 (81:313): 806-807 The book is beautifully produced, with an abundance of highly useful maps, tables and black and white photographs. The colour photograph section at the end offers a real sense of the landscape and natural world surrounding the sites. The book is exemplary in its presentation and analysis of difficult archaeological data in a way that is intelligent, engaging and understandable for both specialists and non-specialists alike, and it will no doubt serve as a highly valuable tool for both archaeologists and ancient historians researching Roman trade with the east and Roman settlement in the Egyptian Eastern Desert for many years to come. Arjan Zuiderhoek, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2006.10.41
