Conference by Jean-Philippe Goiran Thanks to the highly publicized underwater excavations of Jean-Yves Empereur in Alexandria and the Louvre exhibition on ancient Arles resulting from the archaeological excavations of the port depot, the archaeology of river and sea ports is experiencing a real revival.
