Volume 9

This volume accompanies Volume A which presents the archaeological
survey of the sites of the Themistou Meris (north-western Fayoum), by
giving a thorough introduction to the pottery found during the survey.
The great doyen of the pottery of the Graeco-Roman period in Egypt, the
late Donald M. Bailey, did not live to see his volume in print. His
legacy is an exemplary study of forms and materials of the different
kinds of ceramic vessels, from amphorae to cooking-pots and from coarse
kitchen ware to fine table ware. The book is rounded up by two short
essays, which add up-to-date information on the pottery found in the
Themistou Meris as well as in other districts of the Fayoum.
