Abstract

This paper presents initial results of the Sikait Project, an archaeological research effort focused on the study of the Mons Smaragdus area (in the Egyptian Eastern Desert) dedicated to beryl/emerald mining in the Roman period. Archaeological fieldwork at Sikait in winter 2018 furthered knowledge about the exploitation of beryl and the trade network that it created in Roman times.
