Frequent volunteer and “pot lover” Kristina Neumann is joining Archer Martin’s pottery team at Schedia, a site at the juncture between the Canopic Nile and a canal leading to Alexandria. Follow her adventure here. Can it get any more exciting?  Kristina in the lab at Hippos Volunteer John Klinkhammer ponders the Janus flask he recovered during in 2010. Thanks to Stefanie Carpus for this great photo.
As part of the work of preparing an interim report on the Northeast Insula Project, I am putting more of the data into an online format. The ceramic catalog is now up.

Such pins were worn first by soldiers and later by church officials. Our fibula has been cleaned:
Some of the detail is quite exquisite:
