"The House of Serenos. Part I, The Pottery (Amheida V)" is a comprehensive catalog and analysis of the ceramic finds from the late antique house of a local notable and adjacent streets in Amheida. It is the fifth book in the Amheida series. Amheida is located in the western part of the Dakhla oasis, 3.5 km south of the medieval town of El-Qasr. Known in Hellenistic and Roman times as Trimithis, Amheida became a polis by 304 CE and was a major administrative center of the western part of the oasis for the whole of the fourth century. The home's owner was one Serenos, a member of the municipal elite and a Trimithis city councillor, as we know from documents found in the house. His house is particularly well preserved with respect to floor plan, relationship to the contemporary urban topography, and decoration, including domestic display spaces plastered and painted with subjects drawn from Greek mythology and scenes depicting the family that owned the house. The archaeology from the site also reveals the ways in which the urban space changed over time, as Serenos's house was built over and expanded into some previously public spaces. The house was probably abandoned around or soon after 370 CE. The pottery analyzed here both helps to refine the relationship of the archaeological layers belonging to the élite house and those below it, and to shed light on the domestic and economic life of the household and region, from cooking and dining to the management of a complex agricultural economy in which ceramics were the most common form of container for basic commodities. The book will primarily be of interest to specialists interested in ceramology, Roman Egypt, and the material culture, social history, and economy of late antiquity. The House of Serenos, Part II (Amheida VI) is the latest monograph in the Amheida series and the second volume dedicated to the archaeology of the large élite residence now known as the “House of Serenos,” at Amheida, or the ancient city of Trimithis, in the Dakhla Oasis of the Western Desert of Egypt. The Amheida project started in 2001 and since 2008 New York University has been the primary sponsoring institution. The House of Serenos was one of the three main areas under investigation between 2004 and 2010. For more information about the Amheida Project, please follow this link. In this volume Paola Davoli provides an authoritative account of the architectural and archaeological history of the house, from its construction, through its various renovations and expansions, to its ultimate abandonment in the late fourth century CE. Her discussion includes a systematic treatment of building techniques, materials, features, finds, and stratigraphy, and she carefully contextualizes this élite house at the edge of the Roman Empire, with its impressive wall decorations and dome, in its desert environment, the evolving urban plan of Trimithis, and the wider culture of late antique Egypt. The volume also includes an appendix by Nicholas Warner on the traditional techniques, economics, and presentation of the full-scale reconstruction of the House of Serenos that the project built on site in 2008–2009 as a visitor center. The book will be a key resource for specialists interested in Roman and Late Antique Egypt, the archaeology of Greco-Roman Egypt, and ancient domestic architecture and settlement patterns.
