Melvadius Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) In case anyone is interested in reading the preliminary archaeological report from the 2010 season at Amheida in Egypt about the 4th century AD Roman town of Trimithis and a bit about Reconstructing the Villa of Serenus it has just been posted online in pdf format. As can be expected, it is a fairly academic report but it does have some good plans, illustrations and a few photographs relating to the site starting from page 12 onwards. The 2010 excavation season started on the 23rd of January and continued until the 20th of February. The main goals of this season were to investigate the two streets running east and west of a 4th century AD dwelling (B1 in area 2.1), and to start new excavations in the area of building 6 located north-west of B1 and characterized by the presence of a series of columns (area 2.2). Area 2.1 has been under excavation since 2004. Other parts of the project were a geological surface survey in the whole archaeological zone, an implementation of the existing topographic records, and the reproduction inside the B1 replica of the painted decoration of two rooms excavated in B1. Finally, the decorated temple blocks found during the 2004-2009 seasons have been reorganized inside the block house according to their chronology. .....
