The majority date to the Late Roman period (3rd to 4th century AD), a time of rapid social change in Egypt and the ancient Mediterranean generally. Amheida was a small administrative center, and the full publication of these brief texts illuminates the role of writing in the daily lives of its inhabitants. The subjects covered by the Amheida ostraka include the distribution of food, the administration of wells, the commercial lives of inhabitants, their education, and other aspects of life neglected in literary sources. The authors provide a full introduction to the technical aspects of terminology and chronology, while also situating this important evidence in its historical, social and regional context. 410 0$aInstitute for the Study of the Ancient World at NYU (ISAW) 606 $aOstraka$zEgypt$zTrimithis (Extinct city) 606 $aInscriptions, Greek$zEgypt$zTrimithis (Extinct city) 606 $aInscriptions, Egyptian$zEgypt$zTrimithis (Extinct city) 606 $aWritten communication$zEgypt$zTrimithis (Extinct city) 606 $aGreek language$vTexts 606 $aEgyptian language$vTexts 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zEgypt$zAmheida Site 607 $aTrimithis (Extinct city)$xSocial life and customs$vSources 607 $aTrimithis (Extinct city)$xAntiquities 607 $aAmheida Site (Egypt) 615 0$aOstraka 615 0$aInscriptions, Greek 615 0$aInscriptions, Egyptian 615 0$aWritten communication 615 0$aGreek language 615 0$aEgyptian language 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 676 $a487.3 700 $aBagnall$b Roger S.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0322041 702 $aRuffini$b Giovanni R.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 712 02$aNew York University.$bInstitute for the Study of the Ancient World. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817766503321 996 $aAmheida I$93918040 997 $aUNINA
