Abstract
The cemeteries uncovered in the Red Sea harbor town of Berenike (Egypt), a thriving commercial center for close to 800 years, have been dated, to the early Roman (1st–2nd centuries AD) and late (4th to mid-6th centuries AD) periods respectively, but the ethnicities and religious proclivities of the deceased buried in these graves escapes interpretation. Several individual burials as well as numerous ring cairn tombs in the Eastern Desert hinterland also contribute to the picture of mortuary differentiation in the town. The Berenike Project aims to launch mapping work and additional excavations in search of answers to these issues
