Summary/Abstract: In 2011, the program of the Polish–Egyptian Conservation Mission to Marina el-Alamein included research and conservation in the public quarter of the ancient town, at the necropolis and in a few houses. The mission focused on the anastylosis of the superstructure of a large tomb (T17), and continued work in the area south of the Forum, where remains of Roman public baths from the 2nd to the 4th century AD have survived. Current maintenance and conservation work was carried out as usual in some of the ancient Roman houses in the eastern part of the site.
