Abstract:
Egyptian faience is one of the most important archaeological materials that contain a lot of historical and technical information about ancient Egyptian civilization. Unfortunately, the Egyptian faience objects subject to many deterioration factors, especially humidity. Water has a direct role in dissolving the soluble components, it accelerates the physiochemical deterioration processes. In the present study, four types of ready to use nanoproducts were evaluated. It was done to select the best of them to consolidate and protect some archaeological faience from Matteria magazine. The properties of the treated samples, were comparatively investigated by colormetric measurements, static water contact angle, total immersion water absorption, compressive strength, and scanning electron microscope.

Abstract:
We describe a group of Egyptian faience scarabs unearthed from the necropolis on the Iluraton Plateau, Eastern Crimea, by the expedition from the State Museum of the History of Religion (St. Petersburg) in 1987–1990. Artifacts made of so-called Egyptian faience were found in eight of the sixty-two burials—those of g irls aged below 1.5, dating to the 1st to early 2nd centuries AD. The most numerous among the faience items were beads in the form of scarabs. The analysis shows them to fall into three groups in terms of presence and nature of images on the reverse side: those without images (3 spec.), those with abstract images (3 spec.), and those with anthropo-zoomorphic images (2 spec.). In two cases, representations point to specifi c Egyptian workshops. Scarabs in girls’ burials of the Roman period elaborate on the thanatological imagery, which originated among the Scythian-Saka tribes of Eurasia in the mid-1st millennium BC.

Abstract:
Faience objects produced from the fourth millennium BC in ancient Egypt are considered as the first high-tech ceramics in human history. Despite extensive studies on manufacturing technology, many aspects of this complex technology remain a mystery and there is no methodology in place to unravel the techniques of Egyptian faience object production. Detailed studies presented herein fill the gaps, verifying standing opinions and allowing certain aspects of faience manufacturing technology to be reconstructed. The object of this innovative investigation is a hemispherical faience bowl discovered by archaeologists excavating a Ptolemaic workshop district at the site of Tell Atrib in the southern Nile Delta. The multiproxy analysis included the application of specialised software and preparation techniques coupled with complementary methods of light and digital microscopy, SEM with EDS, XRD, STA with EGA, as well as image analysis. Sources of raw and accessory materials (mineral and organic binders, fluxes, colourants) used for preparing the silica paste and glaze slurry were determined. The results helped to reconstruct how the raw material was prepared and how faience vessels were made. The bowl was moulded by compression using a two-part mould. The moulded and dried bowl was then covered by glaze slurry using the application method. A synthetic colourant, Egyptian Blue, was probably used to colour the glaze. The item was fired once at a temperature of 1050–1150 °C. Oxidised conditions were maintained in the kiln during the firing process and firing at the maximal temperature was relatively short. Application of the multiproxy approach has shed light on the technological aspects of faience bowl manufacturing. The obtained results have confirmed the usefulness of the comprehensive methodology that was applied for the reconstruction of particular manufacturing stages of faience objects.

Abstract:
An essential ingredient of the lovely blues in ancient Egyptian materials — faience, glazes, frits — is copper. How did the knowledge of that copper use arise? There is a telling congruence with Egyptian techniques in drilling stone artefacts, and the characteristics of the powder drilled out as waste.

Abstract:
The cementation process of making Egyptian faience, reported by Hans Wulfffrom a workshop in Qom, Iran, has not been easy to replicate and various views have been set forth to understand the transport of materials from the glazing powder to the surfaces of the crushed quartz beads. Replications of the process fired to 950° C and under-fired to 850° C were characterized by electron beam microprobe analysis (EPMA), petrographic thin section analysis, and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive x-ray analysis (SEM-EDS). Chemical variations were modeled using thermal data, phase diagrams, and copper vaporization experiments. These replications were compared to 52 examples from various collections, including 20th century ethnographic collections of beads, glazing powder and plant ash, 12th century CE beads and glazing powder from Fustat (Old Cairo), Egypt, and to an earlier example from Abydos, Egypt in the New Kingdom and to an ash example from the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the potential for developing 3D printable ceramic materials inspired by an ancient Egyptian ware known as faience. Faience was produced in Egypt and the near east from the 4th millennium BC and was the first glazed ceramic material to be produced by man. Valued for its optical properties and likeness to Turquoise and Lapis Lazuli, faience was used to produce a wide range of artefacts including jewellery, statuettes and ceremonial objects for several thousands of years. It is known that Egyptian faience is difficult to work with in paste form, primarily due to a lack of plasticity, resulting from a virtually clay-free body. However, the unique composition of faience enables this material to be vitrified and glazed in one firing compared to at least two firings typically required for conventional ceramics. Additionally, some faience techniques are self- glazing, due to the fact that a glaze medium is not applied directly to the ware. Instead, glazing occurs as an inherent part of the faience material composition and processing steps. Archaeologists have identified three glazing techniques used to produce faience. These are known as efflorescence, application and cementation glazing. This research has successfully developed and tested 3D printed faience compositions focussing in particular on the cementation method, a unique glazing technique that involves objects being packed into a ceramic container (saggar), surrounded by a glaze powder and then fired. Additionally, a highly vitrified ceramic composition was explored in combination with 3D printing. This material was initially inspired by a ceramic-glass hybrid which Victorian Archaeologists believed to be a variant of faience. However, limitations of this material led to the development of an alternative, Parian-inspired composition. This ceramic ware was developed in the 19th century and was favoured for its likeness to marble. This research has successfully demonstrated to a proof of principal stage, that 3D printing techniques can be used to overcome some of the forming issues associated with faience. Additionally, the challenges and limitations of the materials and processes developed within this research have been identified and opportunities for further research in this area have been proposed.

Abstract:
This practice-based research deals with an archaeological material known today as 'Egyptian faience'; it was described as 'the first high-tech ceramic' (Vandiver and Kingerey, 1987). Faience has long been overlooked and yet it played a significant role in the development of the art and science of both ceramics and glass. Faience objects were made mainly from the early fourth millennium BC until the late Roman period in the 7th century AD, though a few rare faience workshops survive today. The friable nature and the poor plasticity of the faience paste presented major challenges to craftsmen in terms of their ability to produce successful faience artefacts. Nevertheless, ancient craftsmen managed to overcome these problems and created fabulous objects of art by using and developing various making methods, that they adapted to the material. This study attempts to shed light on these manufacturing techniques, particularly through close examination of archaeological artefacts from a sculptor/ceramicist's perspective. It also considers issues of the raw materials, their preparation and their processing, as well as the technological choices and challenges faced by the faience-makers. The project combines fundamental and structured experimental work with analytical studies of the faience samples. The cross sections of the samples were studied under a scanning electron microscope, which supplied the research with significant information on the microstructure of the material and the chemistry of its glaze formation. The artwork created for this research project was informed by the research findings and was designed to explore the characteristic elements of the faience material and to investigate its potentials and its limitations in contemporary ceramic practice. The ethno-archaeological study of a surviving faience workshop in Iran, which was carried out during this research, provided a rare opportunity to explore and document the cementation method of faience production within the context of a traditional workshop. This was especially valuable in the light of our new understanding of faience technology.

Abstract:
This research is focused on the analysis of the earliest use of vitreous materials in Roman Age mosaics from Italy. In detail, mosaics made in ‘opus vermiculatum’, a luxurious technique which uses tiny tesserae to obtain a pictorial effect was documented. In the Eastern and Southern Mediterranean region the ‘opus vermiculatum’ technique evidences, for the first time, a frequent use of vitreous materials: colored glass, but also faience. Vermiculata mosaics from Italy are mainly emblemata, i.e. ready-made mosaics made on a stone or terracotta tray created in the workshop and, in a second time, set in the centre of the floor. One of the main archaeological problems linked to this mosaic production is the identification of the provenance: scholars hypothesized a local production or an importation from Egypt or Greece. For this research a comparative study of the Italian an the Easters-Southern Mediterranean production was carried out and the attention was mainly focused on the analysis of the mosaic technique, trying to identify evidences useful to characterize the mosaics as local products or imported goods. This analysis was performed by a multidisciplinary approach, integrating the archaeological and the archaeometric methodology and their results. The mosaics were observed on the surface by a portable optical microscope, collecting information about the morphology of the materials. A small number of faience and glass tesserae, few mortar samples and a tray were sampled and analyzed in the laboratory using several analytical techniques obtaining information about the microstructure, the chemical composition and the identification of the crystalline phases. Thanks to the data processing it was possible to formulate hypothesis on the reconstruction of the production technology and, sometimes, on the provenance of the materials. Thanks to the study of the mosaic technique it was possible to identify in the vermiculata mosaics from Italy a complex of peculiarity, distinguished from the features observed for the Eastern and Southern Mediterranean region: vitreous materials are well attested, but glass is rarely used, with a restricted colour palette. Studying the contexts of provenance, it was possible to reveal that red glasses and faiences are used in a restricted period so they have been identified as imported materials, disappeared during the between the end of the 1st Century BC and the beginning of the 1st Century AD, with the establishment of a local glass industry. The restricted use characterize faience and red glass as dating materials, useful to analyze mosaics with an uncertain chronology.<br>Questa ricerca è focalizzata sullo studio dei primi impieghi di materiali vetrosi nel mosaico romano di area italica, in particolare sull’analisi dei mosaici italici realizzati con la tecnica delle tessere minute. Infatti, nel Mediterraneo meridionale e orientale, questa particolare tecnica musiva attesta per la prima volta l’impiego sistematico dei materiali vetrosi: vetro vero e proprio in un’ampia gamma cromatica, ma anche faïence. Una buona parte dei mosaici italici in tessere minute sono emblemata, cioè mosaici prefabbricati, assemblati in bottega su di una lastra di pietra o di terracotta e messi successivamente in opera nel pavimento. Uno dei principali problemi archeologici legati a questi mosaici è l’individuazione del luogo di produzione: in letteratura si ipotizzava, alternativamente, una realizzazione locale o un’importazione da Egitto e Grecia. Nel corso di questa ricerca è stato condotto uno studio comparato della produzione italica con quella mediterranea, con particolare riguardo alle caratteristiche tecniche, per capire se fosse possibile individuare degli indizi che caratterizzassero i mosaici italici come locali o importati. Questi temi sono stati affrontati con un approccio multidisciplinare, cioè abbinando la metodologia di ricerca archeologica con quella archeometrica e integrando i risultati. La superficie dei mosaici è stata osservata con un microscopio ottico portatile, che ha permesso di raccogliere informazioni sulla morfologia dei materiali costitutivi. Alcune tessere in vetro e faïence e alcuni campioni di malta e supporti sono stati campionati per la caratterizzazione in laboratorio, effettuata con un complesso di tecniche analitiche scelte per ricavare informazioni relative alla composizione, alla microstruttura e all’identificazione delle fasi cristalline. I dati, elaborati complessivamente, hanno permesso di formulare ipotesi sul riconoscimento della tecnologia produttiva impiegata e, in alcuni casi, sull’area di provenienza dei materiali. Lo studio della tecnica musiva ha permesso di identificare nei mosaici italici dei caratteri di omogeneità che li distinguono da quelli del settore sud-orientale dei Mediterraneo. In particolare, anche se i materiali vetrosi sono ricorrenti, i vetri vengono impiegati più sporadicamente e in una gamma cromatica più limitata. Attraverso lo studio dei contesti di provenienza è stato possibili capire che i vetri rossi individuati nei mosaici e la faïence vengono impiegati per un periodo limitato e, quindi si è ipotizzata l’identificazione con materiali importati che, con l’avvio della produzione vetraria locale, nel corso del I secolo d.C., scompaiono. Questi materiali si caratterizzano, quindi, come datanti e possono essere applicati all’analisi di casi di datazione incerta. Per concludere, quindi, è stato possibile riconoscono i mosaici italici in tessere minute come una produzione locale e, al tempo stesso, documentare la circolazione, in Italia di vetri faïence comparabili, per tecnologia ai materiali di Egitto e Medio Oriente.

Abstract:
The article gives a brief overview of the archaeological evidence for the Ptolemaic phase in the existence of ancient Athribis, a site located in modern Benha in the Nile delta in Egypt. Excavation of the part of the site around Kom Sidi Youssouf revealed a sequence of layers dated as follows: the earliest from the beginning of the Ptolemaic period through the reign of Ptolemy V (a); essentially the reign of Ptolemy VI through the second half of the 2nd century BC (b); and the later Ptolemaic period through the beginning of the Roman period, the latter phase largely disturbed by later activities at the site. The investigated quarter was not settled before the second half of the 4th century BC and later developed into a vibrant workshop quarter producing pottery and terracottas, stone figurines, faience vessels, gold jewelry and sundry other objects. Many of the artifacts, a selection of which is presented in the paper, were most certainly produced as devotional objects for sale and use in the numerous shrines and temples that appear to have existed in this part of the ancient city. The assemblage is characterized by a high quality of execution and iconographic originality, showing that the artists—assumedly Egyptian, Greek and Oriental—reached for the best Hellenistic models for their craftwork.

Abstract:
This chapter considers how Achaemenid rule may have affected the decisions people made about identity on a daily basis by examining culinary practices, especially those related to alcohol. Culinary practices are closely linked to identity and status, and the introduction of new vessels forms suggests changes to how Egyptians viewed their positions in society in this period. After discussing dining practices in the Achaemenid Empire, both at the royal court and in the Persian heartland more broadly, this chapter surveys the evidence for Persian vessel types in Egypt. It focuses on three specific types – the Achaemenid phiale, the rhyton, and the Achaemenid bowl. The adoption of these vessel forms in Egypt suggests that Egyptians began to participate in the social hierarchy of the empire. Moreover, versions of them were made in faience and ceramic, indicating that their use was not limited to social elites. The introduction and adaptation of these foreign drinking vessels, and perhaps also the drinking practices associated with them, illustrate the ways that Achaemenid rule may have altered social life in Egypt, even if only on a limited scale.
