Archaeopress Access Archaeology (Verlag)
978-1-80327-467-6 (ISBN)
Pottery from Manqabad 2 presents, documents and analyses a new selection of ceramics from the Egyptian site of Manqabad (Asyut). The Italian Egyptian project at this monastic complex started in 2011, sponsored by the University of Naples “L’Orientale” (UNIOR) and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Development Cooperation (MAECI). One of the principal goals of the project is the study and publication of the related finds, today stored at the SCA warehouses in el-Ashmunein and Shutby, together with the analysis of the material deriving from the ongoing excavations. Of course, pottery has a prominent role in the identification of the different phases of occupation and production/domestic activities performed in the ancient monastic community. Therefore this volume aims at presenting the most significant ceramic typologies from Manqabad, while collecting as many references and parallels as possible deriving from several different monastic sites in Egypt.
Ilaria Incordino has participated in several archaeological missions in Egypt beginning in 2007.
