Karanis in Egypt's Fayum region founded around 250BC housed a farming community with a diverse population and a complex material culture. It eventually proved to be an extraordinarily rich archaeological site, yielding tens of thousands of artifacts and papyri that provide a wealth of information about daily life in the Roman-period Egyptian town.
