Egyptian Ceramics Liaison Bulletin 30. BCE 30.

This new delivery of the The Egyptian Ceramics Liaison Bulletin ( BCE 30) presents in the first part the latest research with its "Regional Route". It is enriched again this year with the contribution of recent archaeological work such as that carried out at Ermant in the Theban region, with a focus on the Old Kingdom ceramics of the site (cf. S. Marchand, C. Thiers). Several contributions present specific ceramic furniture: a technical study of the "Blue Painted" ceramic productions emblematic of the New Kingdom with the furniture from the excavations of Saqqara and North Dashur (cf. K. Takahashi), the publication of part of the amphora furniture from the Ptolemaic, Roman and Byzantine periods unearthed in the ancient Krokodilopolis in Fayoum (cf. Y. Mahmoud, S. Marchand). An article questions the phenomena of transposition of materials for Roman tableware from the site of Berenike in the Eastern Desert (cf. R. Geerts). Finally, a study focuses on a specific decorative technique highlighted on Meroitic ceramics from Faras in Nubia (cf. L. Kilroe). The second part of the book includes a first study on the ceramic pastes of the Predynastic productions of the Nile Valley (cf. G. Di Pietro, R. Friedman). The second is the presentation of the archives of the excavations of David George Hogarth between 1906 and 1907 in the necropolis of Assiut by the British Museum (cf. H. Pethen). Finally, a brief presentation of a forthcoming work intended to accompany the training of future ceramologists closes this volume. It is a bilingual English-Arabic manual entitled Ceramic Manual for Ceramic Sudies. From the Nile Valley to the Arab Middle East (cf. R. David).
