Alexandria antiqua : a topographical catalogue and reconstruction /
:
'Alexandria Antiqua' aims to catalogue the archaeological sites of Alexandria, from the records of the French Expedition (1798-99) to the present day, and to infer the urban layout and cityscape at the time of its foundation (4th century BC), and then through the successive changes which took place up to the Arab conquest (7th century AD).

Pottery in hellenistic Alexandria : aux origines d'Alexandrie et de sa production céramique /
:
Ce volume réunit deux contributions nées avec des intentions différentes, mais toutes deux consacrées à la céramique hellénistique de la région d?Alexandrie. Le matériel inédit présenté ici provient des fouilles effectuées par le CEAlex au centre-ville, sur les sites de l?ex-Consulat britannique et du Cricket Ground, et hors d?Alexandrie, par la mission italienne sur l?île de Nelson (MAIA), et par la mission française dans la nécropole de Plinthine (MAFTP). Dans la première partie, on s?est attaché à définir la datation et les modalités de la naissance d?un artisanat céramique au sein de la nouvelle capitale et dans sa chôra, entre la fin du IVe et le milieu du IIIe siècle av. J.-C., et la nature des importations. Dans la seconde partie, une sélection d?assemblages dans le matériel céramique du Cricket Ground a permis d?établir une séquence chronologique dont les jalons couvrent, à intervalles d?un quart de siècle, les IIIe et IIe siècles av. J.-C., et illustrent ainsi l?évolution du faciès alexandrin.00.

Changing life in Egyptian Alexandria : the testimony of the Islamic cemetery on Kom el-Dikka /
:
The volume is a study of a massive set of funerary data from an important site in a city in Egypt, Alexandria, that remains comparatively little known archaeologically for the Islamic period. More than 60 years of research at the cemetery on Kom el-Dikka, carried out by a couple of generations of Polish researchers, have resulted in the exploration of up to 1000 graves, yielding more than 2500 skeletons for anthropological examination.0The bioarchaeological data have been analyzed comprehensively in search of evidence for the quality of life in Alexandria between the 9th and 12th centuries. The changing living conditions of the local population, observed over some 400 years, are discussed in the context of historical and archaeological evidence, supplying a useful frame for putting into perspective the results, minor and major, of the osteological study. The author also addresses the controversial issue of the phasing of the cemetery, delivering a conclusive argument for distinguishing just two phases of burial at Kom el-Dikka in the Islamic period.
