Abstract

The Cemetery of El-Haddad is a new portion constituting the Eastern Cemetery of ancient Alexandria. It yielded great quantity of pottery from good preserved contexts. However, two intact phases were discovered. The earlier phase dated from the 2nd half of the 3rd to mid-2nd century BC. The latter phase dated from the 2nd half of the 2nd to early 1st century BC. Local production constituted about 93% of all ceramics from the Cemetery. However, the most prevalent types inspired from Greek models like plates with inner rims, convex bowls, carinated bowls‌‌-many of them have stamped decorations as rouletting and palmettes. There were also liquid vessels such as lagynoi, oinochoes and other jug types. In addition, there were other categories like cooking wares such as chytrai, caccabai and lopades; some types of oil lamps such as lamps with side lug as well as unguentaria types, all these categories inspired from Greek models
