Mission Report 2007
The main objective of the expedition in Alexandria was to perform excavations on remains of buildings at the ancient coast. During the excavations, Byzantine gold coins were uncovered dating back from the 7th and 8th century A.D. No artefacts of later date were unearthed. This fact is leading the mission to believe that this part of the Portus Magnus was finally submerged at the same time than Canopus and Heracleion in the second half of the 8th century A.D.
