Abstract: Amheida is the largest and most important surviving habitation site of the ancient Dakhleh Oasis. It has a depth of occupation ranging from late Neolithic times (and perhaps even earlier) to the end of the fourth century AD, and the full extent of the ancient settlement still survives. The surface remains are largely Roman and late Roman in character. Archaeological exploration has so far consisted of two preliminary survey seasons and five years of excavations coupled with continuing survey. Amheida poses numerous challenges to both excavators and custodians. The plan for development of the site that is proposed here responds to the major threats to its integrity and simultaneously to the need for enhanced site access and interpretation to the public.
