This archaeological report provides a comprehensive study of the excavations carried out at Amheida House B2 in Egypt's Dakhleh Oasis between 2005 and 2007, followed by three study seasons between 2008 and 2010. The excavations at Amheida in Egypt's western desert, begun in 2001 under the aegis of Columbia University and sponsored by NYU since 2008, are investigating all aspects of social life and material culture at the administrative center of ancient Trimithis. The excavations so far have focused on three areas of this very large site: a centrally located upper-class fourth-century AD house with wall paintings, an adjoining school, and underlying remains of a Roman bath complex; a more modest house of the third century; and the temple hill, with remains of the Temple of Thoth built in the first century AD and of earlier structures. Architectural conservation has protected and partly restored two standing funerary monuments, a mud-brick pyramid and a tower tomb, both of the Roman period. This volume presents and discusses the architecture, artifacts and ecofacts recovered from B2 in a holistic manner, which has rarely before been attempted in a full report on the excavation of a Romano-Egyptian house. The primary aim of this volume is to combine an architectural and material-based study with an explicitly contextual and theoretical analysis. In so doing, it develops a methodology and presents a case study of how the rich material remains of Romano-Egyptian houses may be used to investigate the relationship between domestic remains and social identity.

Publié à l'occasion de l'exposition d'oeuvres choisies et envoyées par les membres de l'Académie internationale de la céramique (AIC) qui se tiendra à la Cité de la Céramique de Sèvres du 15 septembre 2010 au 10 janvier 2011. Les expositions de l'AIC (tous les 2 ans au quatre coins du monde) donnent lieu à une publication où sont rassemblés les débats des assemblées générales et, le regroupement des oeuvres par affinités matérielles et plastiques. Tout membre est sélectionné dans chaque pays par ses pairs, ainsi le lecteur retrouvera les maîtres de la céramique dans un catalogue qui s'apparente à un annuaire de la céramique mondiale. L'intérêt de ce livre est de faire voyager à travers le monde en retrouvant des caractéristiques de "terres du monde" restituant le souflle d'ateliers ancestraux, mais le voyage s'apparente aussi à un circuit parmi les plus grands musées d'art contemporain japonais, américains ou européens.

The contents of this volume of essays in his honour gives a good overview of the fields in which Prof. Van Doorselaer has been active throughout his academic career. This book is especially an Album Amicorum, filled with reminiscences and intentions to continue the work. The voluminous size of this book may be considered as an adequate measure of the overall sympathy for Prof. Van Doorselaer. We hope that this publication may encourage him to remain active in the field of archaeology, and that the co-operation among colleagues, stimulated by this project, may be continued in the future.
