SUMMARY:Environmental change and economy in Roman Memphis: new evidence for
  fertiliser production in papyrus documents
DESCRIPTION:Environmental change and economy in Roman Memphis: new evidence
  for fertiliser production in papyrus documents Memphis was the oldest cap
 ital of Egypt since the union of Upper and Lower Egypt and had served as t
 he residence of the kings in the pharaonic time. Located at the strategic 
 geographical point of the Nile as it divided into the branches of the Delt
 a\, at the boundary between Lower and Middle Egypt\, Memphis was thus the 
 ideal place where river transport could be controlled. The city remained a
 n important river port\, as well as major economic and administrative cent
 re during Ptolemaic and Roman times. At the same time\, according to geomo
 rphological data\, the Nile channel migrated creating new branches and lak
 es and thus new challenges and possibilities for cultivation and exploitat
 ion of natural resources. This paper attempts at interdisciplinary approac
 h\, placing known and new evidence of papyrus documents in the broa der co
 ntext of changing land- and waterscapes\, and of the socioeconomic develop
 ment of Memphis as an urban centre in Roman Egypt.
