The lamps studied in this article come from Metropolıs, a strategically located site between Pergamon and Ephesos, functioning in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Two different techniques of decorating the surfaces of the lamps were distinguished: Red-on-White and Red Slip. The lamps were dated contextually by terracotta oil lamps of the same morphological type found in the same assemblages. The material spanned a chronological range from the 1st to the 6th century AD.

In the 2021 archaeological season at Abusir, the shaft of the tomb of Wahibremeryneit, containing the largest intact embalming deposit ever found in Egypt was excavated. From about 370 transport amphorae discovered in different states of preservation, more than 250 have been hitherto examined, including a fine assemblage of Greek transport amphorae. Aside from smaller or larger ceramic vessels which were put into amphorae, the other waste embalming material comprised a mixture of sand, lumps of clay/mud, chaff, straw, charcoal, myrrh, fragments of wood and a rather large quantity of decayed linen cloth impregnated with oil and other substances. This embalming deposit is very valuable as it contains all of the materials used by embalmers in the mummification of the body of commander of the troops of Greek mercenaries Wahibremeryneit.

The settlement at Strzyżów site IA, distr. Hrubieszów (eastern Poland) lies on the middle terrace of the Bug R. in the zone of low hills of Grzęda Horodelska (Fig. 1). The area was excavated in 1935–1937 and 1939 by Zofia Podkowińska of the Warsaw University. Archaeological material recovered from 151 assorted features recorded in an area of ca 3145 m2 (Fig. 2) is now in the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw (PMA II/7685). Owing to the character of the analysed set (ca 70% sherds less than 5 cm in size), loss of the site documentation (partly reconstructed after WWII by Zofia Podkowińska) and the mixing of the finds during numerous relocations in storage, analysis was limited to determining the culture attribution and technology. The examined assemblage includes Neolithic ceramics of Linear Band Pottery Culture, Malice Culture, Lublin-Volhynian Culture, Funnel Beaker Culture, Globular Amphorae Culture and Tripolye Culture. Nine technological groups were distinguished (cf S. Kadrow 1991, table 6). Linear Band Pottery Culture: 17 sherds (Fig. 3); ceramic paste – type C1 and G1. The most frequent decorative element is the engraved line, in various arrangements. Chronological attribution: the ‘musical note’ phase of Linear Band Pottery Culture. Malice Culture: 22 sherds (Fig. 4); mostly ceramic paste type C1. Reassembled forms include ia, a biconical beaker (Fig. 4a.k), bowl (Fig. 4c) and a necked beaker of broad proportions with a row of oval pits on the body (Fig. 4b). Typical ornaments include pricking, notching of the lip and bosses. Chronological attribution: phase Ia and phase IIa of S. Kadrow (1996). Lublin-Volhynian Culture: 1354 sherds; mostly ceramic paste type C1 and B1. Dominant forms: ‘semi-barrel’ pots, S-profiled pots, bowls, cups and amphorae, more rarely, hollow-footed vessels, tulip-shaped, miniature vessels (Fig. 5–8). The prevailing decorative motif are small bosses, handles (Fig. 7b.c), ‘waved’ (Fig. 7j.l.m), and notched lip (Fig. 7g, 8a.c), very infrequently, applied cordons (Fig. 8e), and in one specimen, white painting (Fig. 8k). Chronological attribution: early (Fig. 8k) and late (Fig. 7g, 8a.c) phases of Lublin-Volhynian Culture. Funnel Beaker Culture: 86 sherds (Fig. 10, 11); mostly ceramic paste type C1 and B1. Forms include assorted beakers. The most frequent decorative elements include impressed, engrave linear designs and cordons; other techniques are more rare (eg, cord marking, incisions, stamping, comb impressions). Chronological atrribution: phase BR I–II 3770/3710–3340/3180 BC cal. (cf J. Kruk, S. Milisauskas 1983, p. 310). Associated with this phase are elbow handles, corded ornament (Fig. 11n), stamp impressions under the lip (Fig. 10b.h, 11c.e.f.h.j), well defined neck-body transition, cordons (Fig. 10g, 11k.o), ‘furrow stitch’ (Fig. 11m). Globular Amphorae Culture: 130 sherds (Fig. 12, 13); mostly ceramic paste type D1 and E1. Vessel forms include the amphora (Fig. 13a) and presumably, the beaker (Fig. 13b). The most common form of ornament is various cord impressed designs and stamp impressions. Chronological attribution: corresponds to phase IIa–IIIa in Kujawy (M. Szmyt 1996, p. 238). Tripolye Culture: 2 sherds (Fig. 14). The analysed assemblage also included a clay object which most probably should be linked with the Lengyel-Polgar Cycle (Fig. 15a). The multi-culture site IA should be linked chiefly with Lublin-Volhynian Culture (over 83% of the analysed pottery assemblage). In comparison to the nearby site of the same culture (Strzyżów, site ID) differences were noted in the frequency of vessel types (Table 8) and ceramic paste used in their making (Table 9).
