Abstract

This paper presents a metric analysis and interpretation of the 3D survey of the Late Roman Fort of Umm al-Dabadib (Kharga Oasis, Egypt). The aim is to verify if a modular measure was used in the construction of the Fort and whether this was congruent with Roman or Egyptian units of measurement. This research is part of the project LIFE (Living in a Fringe Environment), funded by the ERC CoGrant 681673.
