In 2001 Polish archaeological mission started excavations at Rhizon (now Risan), Montenegro, the ancient capital of Illyrian queen Teuta. Work concentrated in three sections of the town: at the entrance to the modern hospital, where a Roman villa with mosaic pavements was unearthed, in the location of Carine (another 3rd cent. BC Roman villa complex including a well-preserved bathroom), and near the orthodox church in the place of a medieval necropolis; an 11th cent. AD masonry tomb with 5 inhumation burials was explored. In the vicinity of Risan a fragment of Roman road was located.

The authors and contributors: Ablamowicz R., Debowska J., Jucha M., Kirkowski R., and Maczynska A. report on the 2002 and 2003, fieldworks carried out at Tell el-Farkha for two months each season. The main goal was to reach earlier layers at the Western and Central Koms as well as continue examination of graves from the cemetery previously discovered at the Eastern Kom. During these campaigns western parts of monumental Naqadian complex and Lower Egyptian buildings as well as a brewery from transitional layers were discovered. All of these were located at the Western Kom. Main discoveries at the Central Kom were buildings connected with the Naqada III period. Excavations at the Eastern Kom yielded remains of a circular building (8 m in diameter) and six new graves, including two two-chamber tombs, two one-chamber and two pit graves without offerings.

The three excavation campaigns covered in this interim report were concentrated on the front and rear parts of the legionary fortress at Novae, where in the last years an intensive destruction activity of local treasure hunters took place. Some of the robber pits left by this clandestine excavation were replaced by a series of regular rescue trenches in order to record the exposed architectural remains. New information on the street-grid and plan of the legionary buildings in the praetentura and retentura of the fortress has been obtained.

During two campaigns 2002-2003 the Polish mission continued excavations in the complex of the 6th - early 8th century bath discovered in the two previous seasons. A well operated by a saqiyah from which water had been supplied to the bath has been cleared. A funerary chapel lying to the southwest of the bath was also entirely explored. The other objective of the excavations was the 6th century basilica, where an apse with two crypts has been unearthed. Below the apse a kiln for firing amphorae came to light. The work in the basilica will be continued.

The article presents coin finds from the excavations carried out by the Warsaw University Institute of Archaeology in the 'Villa with a View' at Ptolemais, Libya, in 2002-2004. Included in the catalogue are 118 coins, all bronzes with the exception of one denarius of Severus Alexander. More than half of the coins were struck in Greek mints in Hellenistic and Roman times. The assemblage largely corresponds to the material previously discovered at the site by an American expedition and to the collection kept in the local museum. A considerable percentage of the coins comes from destruction layers and accumulated deposits related to severe earthquakes during the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. Upon analysis, this set gives a fairly consistent idea of the chronology of the 'Villa with a View' and its immediate neighborhood. The proposed chronology is confirmed by stylistic analyses of the architectural decoration, mosaics and murals from the villa.

Excavations of the Warsaw University Institute of Archaeology in an urban villa at Ptolemais, Cyrenaica, yielded an interesting collection of wall paintings from the 3rd cent. AD. These new finds enrich our knowledge about painted decorations of houses in this part of the Roman empire. The wall paintings include mostly high quality imitations of marble plates, which partially bring to mind an opus alexandrinum mentioned in Historia Augusta. This interim publication comprises the most important fragments of the wall paintings preserved in situ.

This interim report covers three excavation campaigns (2000-2002) within the headquarters building (principia) in the central part of the Roman legionary fortress at Novae on the Lower Danube (Northern Bulgaria). Excavation was concentrated on the courtyard, the crosshall and the rear range of administrative rooms. The last stratigraphic observations made in Room Cz with a loess pit preceding construction works on the principia confirm the Flavian date of the building. To judge by the stratigraphy in the crosshall and by three statue pedestals of AD 430-432 the building was destroyed and went out of use in the forties of the 5th century. New details are added to the plan of Rooms Ez1-3, the corridors Dw and Dz and both short sides of the crosshall.

The Archive of the Polish Academy of Sciences contains a long forgotten excavation diary of Professor Jerzy Manteuffel (1900-1954), the first Polish papyrologist who took part in excavation works in Egypt. The article is the first publication of Manteuffel's notes taken in the course of the first two weeks of French-Polish excavations in Edfu in 1937. It was possible to correlate the data found in the diary with the report on the first season of excavation in Edfu, as well as to identify some of the finds recorded by Manteuffel in the collection of the Warsaw National Museum.

In December 2001, a Polish archaeological expedition from Warsaw University opened excavations at Ptolemais in the Cyrenaica. In the four field seasons (2001-2004) completed so far, the team has explored the central part of a richly decorated Roman villa, nicknamed Villa with a View. The main architectural stage of this complex and the relevant mural and mosaic floor decoration can be dated to Late Antonine and Severan times. Of the ten mosaic floors discovered so far, the eight published in this article have been excavated completely or in part, protected and documented. One uncovered in 2004 requires another season of work in the field before it can be studied. The tenth mosaic, illustrating an Achillean theme, will be discussed in a separate publication. For the most part, the floors are of an ornamental nature. Two contain mosaic inscriptions giving the name of the villa's owner. On one there is a figural panneau depicting a winged female figure. The most interesting, and excellently preserved, is a mosaic floor, presumably from a triclinium, with a multi-figural scene presenting a Dionysiac thiasos.

This is a publication of a fragmentary mosaic that originally adorned an upper-floor room of the 3rd cent. 'Villa with a View' in Ptolemais. Among hundreds of smaller pieces and loose tesserae found in the debris above the Mosaic of Dionysus in the triclinium, several scenes illustrating the myth of Achilles could be identified, including that of the unmasking of Achilles on Skyros and a group of three figures (Thetis entrusting Achilles to the care of Lykomedes?). Further reconstruction and conservation works are needed.
