"This volume brings together two contributions born of different intentions but which are both dedicated to Hellenistic pottery of the Alexandria region. The previously unpublished material presented herein comes from excavations conducted by teh CEAlex in the centre of Alexandria on the sites of the former British Consulate and the Cricket Ground, and from excavations outside the city conducted by the Italian mission on Nelson's Island (MAIA) and by the French team in the necropolis of Plinthine (MAFTP).
