Abstract:
This research deals with the study of the plant remains that were found in mines and quarries in the eastern desert of Egypt during the Greco-Roman Period, recognizing potential areas of cultivation in the Eastern Desert, considering the potential crops cultivated there and their scale, and how these relate to the physical archaeobotanical remains recovered from the sites, pinpointing the processes and the agents of cultivation, production, and circulation of foodstuffs, as revealed through Greek texts.
