Miseeda
The Good Shepherd of Miseeda project investigates remains in a section of the Mahas region in northern Sudan. Centred on a church built around an ancient petroglyph, integrated archaeological survey and ethnographic research trace millennia of cultural interaction, continuity and transformation that shaped the sacred and social landscape.
From Constantinople to Warsaw
This paper discusses a late Byzantine transport container, known as a Günsenin III type amphora, currently housed in the National Museum in Warsaw. Donated in 1921 by Władysław Semerau-Siemianowski, the vessel was originally discovered in the ruins of Constantinople. This paper examines the provenance of the amphora in the historical context of early Polish scholars’ interest in Byzantine studies, as well as the fate of the museum collection duri…
Tracing Tangible Borderscapes Between the First and the Second Nile Cataracts Ceramics in the Ninth–Tenth Centuries CE
This paper examines perspectives on ceramic production between the First and Second Nile Cataracts during the ninth and tenth centuries CE, by analysing how pottery reflects socio-cultural interactions across political frontiers. By focusing on ledged vases produced in Aswān and Faras, the study investigates differences in stylistic choices as adaptations shaped by interactions and experiences of potters working in the Egyptian-Nubian borderland.…
Radiocarbon Dates From the Monastery on Kom H in Old Dongola (Sudan) and the Chronology of Medieval Nubian Pottery
The paper presents and discusses a series of radiocarbon ( 14 C) dates from a medieval Nubian monastery found on Kom H of Old Dongola, the capital of the kingdom of Makuria located in modern-day Sudan. The monastery was founded in the 6th–7th century AD and although it probably ceased to function in the 14th century, the site remained occupied until the beginning of the 15th century. The investigated courtyard of the monastery was in use from the…
Pottery finds from Hermitage EE.50 in Naqlun
Rescue excavations undertaken in hermitage EE.50 in Naqlun in 2016 brought to light an extensive pottery assemblage composed of red-slipped goblets, bowls and plates of Egyptian origin, made of alluvial fabrics, and a few specimens imported from North African workshops. The repertoire of tableware was complemented with qullae made of marl and alluvial clays. Numerous cooking pots, pans and a single lid represent kitchen equipment. Goods were kept…
Pottery from Dongola
The article discusses an assemblage of pottery recovered from unit B.I.41 in the palatial building B.I excavated on the citadel of Dongola in the 2011 and 2012 seasons. Exploration started with the fill of the room, followed by the fill of structures belonging to an earlier building below it. A well dated sequence of layers from the 6th through 7th centuries was identified. The pottery assemblage proved to be very abundant, composed of table vess…
Deir el-Naqlun 2014–2015. Preliminary report
The complex of the Nekloni monastery in Fayum (Deir el-Naqlun) was explored in yet another three seasons of fieldwork by a team from the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology. On the plateau, investigations were carried out in the southern part of Building D (Rooms D.50 and D.41–D.44), northern part of Building E, western part of the 12th–13th-century Cemetery A and Building I. A 6th-century Hermitage EE.06 in the Naqlun hills to the east of…
