Chronological Overview of Pottery from Asyut

自2003年以来，埃及-德国联合使团“阿尤特项目”一直在埃及中部阿尤特古镇墓地的Gebel Asyut al-Gharbi进行考古田野工作。出土了无数的陶器碎片和完整的器皿。这些文物涵盖了从公元前四千年到现在的时间跨度。这一丰富的陶器语料库与迄今几乎完全遗失的阿苏特有记录的陶器相矛盾。这本书第一次给出了从公元前4千年到公元前1千年结束的阿育陶器的详细年代概述。伦敦大英博物馆、巴黎卢浮宫、都灵博物馆、波士顿美术馆等馆藏的陶器是对这项研究的补充。此外，陶器的分布还为古墓地在Gebel Asyut al-Gharbi的定位提供了一些间接证据。

Since 2003, the Egyptian-German joint mission “The Asyut Project” has been conducting archaeological fieldwork on Gebel Asyut al-gharbi in the necropoleis of the ancient town of Asyut in Middle Egypt. Innumerable fragments of pottery as well as complete vessels were unearthed. These objects cover the time span from the 4th millennium BCE up until now. This rich corpus of pottery is contradictory to the hitherto nearly complete missing of recorded pottery from Assiut. The book gives for the first time a detailed chronological overview of pottery from Asyut – from the 4th millennium BCE to the end of the 1st millennium CE. Pottery housed in the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris, the Museo Egizio di Torino, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston complement the study. In addition, the distribution of the pottery gives some circumstantial evidence to the localization of ancient necropoleis on the Gebel Asyut al-gharbi.
