Late Roman Glassware and Pottery from Amarna and Related Studies

This is the second volume on the monastic site of Kom el-Nana at Tell el-Amarna and brings up-to-date the excavations carried out there. The first volume contained mainly unstratified pottery and no glass, and included some of the Late Roman sites around Amarna. This volume brings together the stratified pottery and both stratified and unstratified glass. Due to the incomplete nature of the excavations at present (only around a third of the monastery has so far been excavated) and the time elapsed since abandonment, the conclusions reached on the dating of the site may well have to be revised in future. In the meantime, the collections of pottery and glass will, hopefully, prove useful for those working in the Middle East and especially in Egypt.>

Summary

The second volume updates the excavations at Kom el-Nana, adding stratified pottery and glass. It includes more Late Roman sites near Amarna visited by Miller and Kemp. With only a third of the monastery excavated, dating conclusions may change. The findings aim to assist Middle Eastern and Egyptian researchers.
