The fourth volume in the Amheida series, ‘Ain el-Gedida:
2006-2008 Excavations of a Late Antique Site in Egypt's Western
Desert (Amheida IV) presents the systematic record and
interpretation of the archaeological evidence from the excavations
at ‘Ain el-Gedida, a fourth-century rural settlement in Egypt's
Dakleh Oasis uniquely important for the study of early Egyptian
Christianity and previously known only from written sources. Nicola
Aravecchia (Washington University), the Deputy Field Director of
NYU's Amheida Excavations, offers a history of the site and its
excavations, followed by an integrated topographical and
archaeological interpretation of the site and its significance for
the history of Christianity in Egypt. In the second half of the
volume a team of international experts presents catalogs and
interpretations of the archaeological finds, including ceramics
(Delphine Dixneuf, CRNS), coins (David M. Ratzan, NYU), ostraca and
graffiti (Roger S. Bagnall, NYU and Dorota Dzierzbicka, University
of Warsaw), small finds (Dorota Dzierzbicka, University of Warsaw),
and zooarcheological remains (Pamela J. Crabtree, NYU and Douglas
Campana).
