Summary/Abstract: The Polish-Egyptian Preservation Mission carried out the eleventh season of work at the site of Marina el-Alamein in 2005. The work program was focused on the ruins of housing from the Graeco-Roman period: H1, H2 and H21c, situated in the northern part of the ancient town, and on tombs T6 and T12 in the western end of the town's necropolis. In preparation for the building and conservation works restricted archaeological work was undertaken in Houses 1 and 2. Geological analyses were performed on stone objects and building mortars recovered in the excavations.
