Ina Eichner, Surveying the late antique and medieval Christian remains in the necropolis of Asyut / Lycopolis. With a contribution by Thomas Beckh

在古代晚期和中世纪，Gebel Asyut al-Gharbi的超区域重要性可能最重要的因素是著名的Lykopolis苦行者John的存在，他在公元4世纪定居在三个最大的法老陵墓，并在这里建造了他的隐居之所。早在他有生之年，而且在他死后，他的活动场所就吸引了来自古代世界所有地区的朝圣者。与此同时，其他锚地也定居在山上，居住着更古老的法老陵墓。碑文、涂鸦和日常用品在地表残骸中，也有建筑结构和两座寺庙的遗迹见证了这种密集的寺庙占领山体。第一次，这些晚期古董和中世纪的基督教遗骸中的一些在表面调查的背景下进行了考古研究，并在这里展示。

Probably the most important factor for the supra-regional importance of the Gebel Asyut al-gharbi in late antiquity and the Middle Ages was the presence of the famous ascetic John of Lykopolis, who settled in the three largest Pharaonic tombs in the 4th century AD and built his hermitage here. Already during his lifetime, but also after his death, his place of activity had become an attraction for pilgrims from all regions of the ancient world. At the same time, other anchorites also settled on the mountain and inhabited older Pharaonic tombs. Inscriptions, graffiti and everyday objects in the surface debris, but also built structures and the remains of two monasteries bear witness to this intensive monastic occupation of the mountain. For the first time, some of these late antique and medieval Christian remains were archaeologically examined in the context of a surface survey and presented here.
