Book Description
From 1980 to 1990, the British Museum Expedition to the Middle Egypt conducted excavations at el-Ashmunein, the ancient mound of Hermopolis Magna. Known in Graeco-Roman times as the great city of Hermes, the site has since been published in several volumes covering various aspects of the material remains. This volume catalogues the excavated property, both fine and coarsewares, as well as lamps and glass which come mostly from the main Thoth Temple area and date from Late Roman, Umayyad and Abbasid periods.

Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
This is the fourth volume in a four-book set covering all Egyptian pottery, ranging from the earliest (Fayum A) ceramics to pottery made in Egypt today, organized by historical periods. The manuals are quick identification guides as well as starting points for more extensive research. For each period, ceramic types are illustrated with a line drawing, accompanied by a description that includes information on the pot's material, manufacturing techniques, surface treatment, and shape. Color plates of representative ceramic types are included to give the clearest sense of the color, composition, and surface treatment. All four volumes provide an extensive list of suggested readings as well as a bibliography for each period. Introductory chapters in each book discuss the basics of pottery manufacture and analysis.
The 2003-2007 Excavations in the Late Roman Fort at Yotvata
Author: Gwyn DaviesPublisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 157506362X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
The Late Roman fort at Yotvata is located in the southern Arava some 40 km north of Eilat/Aqaba (ancient Aila). The modern Hebrew name of the site is based on its suggested identification with biblical Jotbathah (Deut 10:7), where the Israelites encamped during their desert wanderings. The modern Arabic name of the site, Ein Ghadian, may preserve the ancient Roman name Ad Dianam. Because the Late Roman fort at Yotvata is visible as a low mound next to the Arava road, it has long been known to scholars. Each June between 2003 and 2007, Gwyn Davies (Florida International University) and Jodi Magness (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) co-directed excavations here. This volume provides the results of those excavations, adding substantially to our knowledge of Roman defenses in the third and fourth centuries of the Common Era, along the trade route that traversed the southern Arava and on the eastern frontier of the Empire.
