Alexander Belov, with a contribution from Catherine Gretaloup

(Ships and boats of the Canopic Region 1; Oxford Centre for Maritime Archaeology Monograph 10).

Anne-Sophie von Bomhard

(Oxford Centre for Maritime Archaeology Monograph 9). A remarkable range of inscribed bronze objects were found in the demolition layer of a temple identified at site M8 at Thonis-Heracleion. This work shows how they performed a crucial role in the theological, rather than physical defence of Egypt in the Saïte Period. ISBN: 9781905905409

Damian Robinson and Andrew Wilson (eds)

(Oxford Centre for Maritime Archaeology Monograph 6). This volume comprises twelve papers that look at the shifting patterns of maritime trade as seen through archaeological evidence across the economic cycle of Classical Antiquity. Papers range from an initial study of Egyptian ship wrecks dating from the sixth to fifth century BC from the submerged harbour of Thonis-Heracleion through to studies of connectivity and trade in the eastern Mediterranean during the Late Antique period. ISBN-13: 978-1-905905-17-1
