Ostraka and other Inscribed Material from a Late Antique Settlement at Bir Shawish, Small Oasis

Informal documents and remains of material culture offer a unique window into the daily lives and workings of ancient civilizations. Published here in their archaeological context, the documents and inscriptions excavated in Egypt's Western Desert represent a valuable addition to our documentation of the Bahriya Oasis in the first centuries CE.

Documentele informale si ramasitele culturii materiale ofera o fereastra unica in viata de zi cu zi si functionarea civilizatiilor antice. Publicate aici in contextul lor arheologic, documentele si inscriptiile excavate in desertul occidental al Egiptului reprezinta un plus valoros la documentatia noastra despre oaza Bahriya in primele secole e.n.
