💧EP052 GUEST EPISDODE (6/8) Water and the White Monastery: Water Management at a Single Site

  • Summary

  • It is often difficult to reconstruct the water infrastructure at historical sites due to recent building and patchy excavation and survival. In this episode we look at a site in which we can see a great deal of the water supply as a connected system, and how it developed over time: the great late antique White Monastery on the edge of the Egyptian desert.

    Speaker: Louise Blanke. Interviewer: Edmund Hayes.

    Louise Blanke is Senior lecturer in Late Antique Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh, and has written extensively on late antique and early Islamic archaeology and the archaeology of Egyptian monasticism.

    This episode was produced by Edmund Hayes and Jouke Heringa.
