ARTEFACTS

Ceramics, Faience, Glass and Metal

As the salvage excavations of the CEA advance, a rich collection of artefacts comes to light both in the zones of habitation and the necropoli. The study of these pieces is undertaken by specialist already familiar with the collections of the Alexandrian Graeco-Roman Museum. Laboratory analyses as well as investigative tours of the ancient workshops around the shores of Lake Mariout have given rise to new information. The results fill chapters within the CEA publications or are the object of a volume in themselves, as is the case for faience objects (see Etude Alexandrines vol. 4) and will be for metal artefacts.
