Maps of Wadi Gsea and plans of the dams of the Wadi el-Me by David Oates, Alan Wells, and R. M. Bradfield, made during expeditions led by Oates in 1949 and 1950, and Bradfield's solo return to the area in 1951. While investigating late-Roman olive farms during the first expedition the team stumbled upon a series of massive late-Roman dams along the course of the Wadi e-Me, a major tributary of the Wadi Gsea. Most of the material contains explanatory notes by Bradfield made in 2011-2012.
