This is a magnificent book, of immensely high quality and great importance that extracts every drop of information from so many different aspects of archaeology, including literary remains. The book is a must for any scholar working on Greco-Roman Egypt, the Roman empire, and every university library. It also is of great importance for those who study the development of Christianity and transition from paganism to Christianity. The scholars assembled are the leading experts in their fields and have done an exemplary job. The work is a model of what can be learned from archaeology, demonstrating what knowledge of the past can be achieved from excavations.
Kellis was a village in the Dakhleh Oasis in the Egyptian Western Desert inhabited continuously from the first to the late fourth century AD. Previously unexcavated, it has in recent decades yielded a wealth of data unsurpassed by most sites of the period due to the excellent state of preservation. We know the layout of the village with its temples, churches, residential sectors and cemeteries, and the excavators have retrieved vast quantities of artefacts, including a wealth of documents. The study of this material yields an integrated picture of life in the village, including the transition from ancient religious beliefs to various branches of Christianity. This volume provides accounts of the lived-in environment and its material culture, social structure and economy, religious beliefs and practices, and burial traditions. The topics are covered by an international team of specialists, culminating in an inter-disciplinary approach that will illuminate life in Roman Egypt.
