Abstract

International audience This fifth volume dedicated to the excavations jointly conducted at Tebtynis by the Institute of Papyrology of the University of Milan and the French Institute of Oriental Archaeology, introduces a series of studies devoted to the archaeological mate-rial from one of the richest Egyptian sites dating from the conquest of Alexander the Great to the end of the 2nd century AD, as regards archaeological artifacts. Through a typo-chronological analysis of the pottery, supplemented by the presenta-tion of a number of closed assemblages, the study puts the focus on the production of ceramics and amphorae in the Fayum Oasis as well as the imports from other areas of Egypt and the Mediterranean world. It is the first systematic catalogue on the ceramics of the Fayum Oasis and the province of Egypt.Besides, highlighting the major stages in the evolution of ceramic artifacts, the book stresses the importance of the relationships within the Egyptian, Greek and Roman worlds over nearly five centuries and subsequently discusses the process of ac-culturation specific to Hellenistic and Roman Imperial Egypt.
