Call for papers for the next thematic fascicle of “Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean” on Upper Nile Pottery Studies. It will focus on pottery from the Thebaid, the Eastern and Western Deserts, and the frontier zone between Upper Egypt and Lower Nubia from the Hellenistic to the Early Islamic period.
The editor of this issue is Jerzy M. Oleksiak from the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School and the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw. The publication will appear as a thematic fascicle of an upcoming volume of PAM, scheduled for the second half of 2025.
