  abstract = {{L}ake {M}aryut (northwestern {N}ile {D}elta, {E}gypt) was a key feature of {A}lexandria's hinterland and economy during {G}reco-{R}oman times. {I}ts shores accommodated major economic centers, and the lake acted as a gateway between the {N}ile valley and the {M}editerranean. {I}t is suggested that lake-level changes, connections with the {N}ile and the sea, and possible high-energy events considerably shaped the human occupation history of the {M}aryut. {T}o reconstruct {L}ake {M}aryut hydrology in historical times, we used faunal remains, geochemistry ({S}r isotopic signature of ostracods) and geoarcheological indicators of relative lake-level changes. {T}he data show both a rise in {N}ile inputs to the basin during the first millennia {BCE} and {CE} and a lake-level rise of ca. 1.5 m during the {R}oman period. {A} high-energy deposit, inferred from reworked radiocarbon dates, may explain an enigmatic sedimentary hiatus previously attested to in {M}aryut's chronostratigraphy.},
