The Polish–Egyptian mission at Kom el-Dikka, ran by the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw, stepped up the already advanced preservation processes aimed at establishing an Archaeological Park at the site. Conservation work was carried out in the theater portico, the bath complex and the residential quarter of late Roman date in the eastern part of the excavation area. In turn, the western part was the focus of archaeological research centered on the exploration of some late Roman structures located underneath. The early medieval/Islamic cemetery overlying these remains was explored first. A detailed report from this work is appended to this article. The human skeletal remains from the cemetery were examined by anthropologists. The western gate to the bath complex, leading from the theater portico, was fully exposed. Finds from present and earlier work at the site continued to be studied: glass vessels, pottery, lamps, bone objects, painted wall plaster, and a vast collection of coins.

The House of Orpheus at Nea Paphos in Cyprus, a multiphase residential complex excavated a few decades ago, is the subject of an on-going study within the framework of a new project. Recently, the bath suite in the north-eastern part of the house was analysed in detail and this has led to a better understanding of the baths’ layout and technology (such as the water management and heating system), features that confirm the adoption of the western/Italian model, while some of the details remained typical of the Eastern Mediterranean.

Brak higieny był czynnikiem decydującym o rozprzestrzenianiu się wszawicy wśród ludności zamieszkującej obszar ziem litewsko-białoruskich. Dur plamisty przenoszony przez wszy stał się na tym obszarze chorobą endemiczną. O ile przed I wojną światową w szpitalu wileńskim leczono rocznie 600–800 zarażonych osób, o tyle w okresie od stycznia do marca 1919 roku codziennie do tego samego szpitala w Wilnie przyjmowano 600 chorych. Wzrostowi epidemii sprzyjały przemarsze wojsk i migracje ludności. Utrzymanie nawet podstawowej higieny było wówczas trudne. W zaistniałej sytuacji utworzono Komisariat Wileński, działający z ramienia dowodzonego przez płk. prof. Emila Godlewskiego Naczelnego Nadzwyczajnego Komisariatu do spraw Walki z Epidemiami. Działania Komisariatu Wileńskiego w zakresie zwalczaniu duru plamistego polegały głównie na profilaktyce (dezynsekcja, otwieranie łaźni i zakładów kąpielowych, tworzenie izolowanych łóżek epidemicznych).

Lack of hygiene was a decisive factor in spreading pediculosis among people living in the area of Lithuania and Belarus. Typhus fever spread by lice turned out to be an endemic disease in this region. Before World War I 600– –800 infected patients per year were treated in the Vilnius hospital, whereas as many as 800 patients were admitted daily to the same hospital in the period between January and March 1919. Movement of troops and migration of people contributed to an outbreak of the epidemics. Maintaining even basic hygiene proved difficult at that time. In the abovementioned circumstances the Vilnius Commissariat was set up and was operating under the General Special Commissariat for Controlling Epidemics commanded by colonel professor Emil Godlewski. Activities of the Vilnius Commissariat included mainly prevention through extermination of insects, opening baths and bathing institutions and preventing the disease from spreading by setting up epidemic beds in order to isolate the patients.
