Syene III. Untersuchungen zur romischen Keramik und weiteren Funden aus Syene / Assuan (1.-7. Jahrhundert AD). Grabungen 2001 2004
by Stefanie Martin-Kilcher and Jacqueline Wininger, with contributions by Sylvia Funfschilling, Daniel Keller and Johanna Sigl
Syene (Aswan) was the southernmost town of the Roman Empire. Since the year 2000, systematic rescue excavations have been carried out by the Swiss Institute, in cooperation with the Ministry of Antiquities. The pottery studied in this volume comes from stratigraphically well-observed archaeological structures of the excavations from the 1st to 4th campaigns and was analyzed atf the University of Berne. The work is divided into four parts, with a substantial summary in English. For the first time for Upper Egypt, characteristic, chronologically valid contexts of pottery can now be observed. Furthermore, from the later 1st century BC up until the 7th century AD a typological development for many forms can be traced. Finally, the analysis of the pottery yields results and perspectives on trade and cultural developments.
Syene (Aswan) was the southern-most town of the Roman Empire. Since the year 2000, systematic rescue excavations have been carried out by the Swiss Institute of Architectural and Archaeological Research on Ancient Egypt in Cairo, in cooperation with the Ministry of Antiquities. The pottery studied in this volume comes from stratigraphically well-observed archaeological structures of the excavations from the 1st to 4th campaigns and was analysed within the framework of a project of the University of Berne, Institut fur Archaologische Wissenschaften, Archaologie der Romischen Provinzen. The work is divided into four parts A-D, with a substantial summary in English: Part A: structures, contexts, catalogue of pottery and plates. Part B: pottery, relative and absolute chronology; types; synthesis. Part C: glass, metal and bone artefacts, animal bones. Part D: annex (pottery): bibliography, typological series; color plates. For the first time for Upper Egypt, characteristic, chronologically valid contexts of pottery can now be observed. Furthermore, from the later 1st century BC up until the 7th century AD a typological development for many forms can be traced. Finally, the analysis of the pottery yields results and perspectives on trade and cultural developments.
