In winter 2023 the Berenike project excavated, in whole or in part, seven trenches. Four of them were at and adjacent to the entrance of the Isis temple; two were in the “Northern Complex”; an additional one was in the western-most part of the site at the Hellenistic/Ptolemaic hydraulic facilities.
Results furthered our knowledge about the appearance and dates of construction and repair of the Isis temple entrance, portico and adjacent areas in the 1st through 5th-6th centuries AD and documented further the religious activities that took place in the Northern Complex from the 1st century BC to the 5th century AD. Excavation of a trench in the western part of the site expanded our knowledge about the water supply system in Hellenistic/ Ptolemaic times and transformation of that area into a cemetery in the early Roman period.

Since 2018, archaeological excavations have been carried out at the junction of two main roads in the city of Berenike. Following a geophysical survey, fieldwork began to verify significant anomalies that indicated the presence of a monumental structure with a regular layout at the intersection of the cardo and decumanus. During the three excavation seasons, two of four pedestals were discovered, on which single columns forming a four-column monument, the tetrastylon, would have stood. This article summarises the archaeological work and architectural analyses, and attempts to place the structure within the broader urban context.

The aim of this study is to present data on the amphorae and stoppers of Adriatic production coming from Cyprus, in particular from Nea Paphos. Three kinds of wine amphorae, Greco-Italic, Lamboglia 2 and Dressel 6A, closely related to each other due to a common element-a ceramic disk, which they were sealed with-appear in small amounts on sites from the late Hellenistic to the early Roman period. They are also attested at Maloutena in Nea Paphos. Analysis of these imports was carried out in order to defi ne the quantity and variety of the material. The preliminary results were incorporated into the present paper.

Amphorae and jar stoppers found during the 2010–2014 seasons of the Polish–American excavations at Berenike in the Red Sea are found mainly in the early Roman trash dumps, although single finds come from all over the ancient city. Altogether 54 stoppers were studied. More than 60% were preserved fragmentarily, some were stamped and colored. As a category they are typical of the Eastern Dessert. Numerous finds come from Myos Hormos and Mons Claudianus, single finds from Mons Porphyrites and Sikait. They reflect Egyptian wine production during the Roman and late Roman periods. They consist of plug and sealing mixture, made from various materials like plaster and mud, ceramic elements (bowls, lids, roudcuts(?), sherds), natural cork, wood or textile.

The ancient settlement of Rhizon is located in the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro. Since 2001 a Polish-Montenegrin team have discovered storerooms filled with amphorae, residential units and pottery from the Mediterranean world during excavations. Risan was located on the ancient Adriatic trade route, which allowed an exchange of goods. 19th Century travellers' reports mentioned the remains of building structures visible in the sea. These descriptions provided a case study during underwater surveys (2003-2011). Only clusters of ceramics and single stone blocks were found. It is possible, that techniques used in the previous study were inadequate and walls are hidden beneath the seabed.

More than 600 stoppers were found in Risan, Montenegro, between 2001 and 2008. These are characteristic ceramic discs which were either formed in a mould, turned on a potter’s wheel or cut from the bodies of larger vessels. Nearly half bore inscriptions in Greek or Latin, or decoration of some kind. The stoppers discovered in Risan resembled those from the eastern Adriatic. These stoppers were found mainly in context with amphorae. The amphorae found in Risan were of the Greek-Italic form, type MGS VI / HA 6, from the third–second century BC.

Od kiedy rozpoczął się transport produktów przewożonych w ceramicznych pojemnikach na większe odległości, od tego momentu zaczęto stosować także różnego rodzaju zamknięcia.
W Imperium Romanum przejęte zostały różne techniki korkowania stosowane wcześniej. Bardzo często zależne były od dostępności surowców na danym terenie. I tak amfory przewożące wino z centralnej Italii w okresie rzymskim zamykane były pieczęcią ze specjalnej zaprawy puzzolany, jednak z tego samego terenu ze wcześniejszego okresu znane są znaleziska zamykane naturalnym korkiem i uszczelniane pakiem (żywica sosnowa). Na terenie wschodniego Adriatyku produkty zamykane były natomiast ceramicznymi dyskami, a w Egipcie grecko-rzymskim odnalezione zostały pozostałości pieczęci z zaprawy oraz różnego rodzaju organiczne zamknięcia.

In the years 2003-2011 in the area of Risan Bay, on which is situated the town of Risan (gr. Rhizon, lac. Risinium) in modern Montenegro, was conducted by the Center for Research on the Antiquity of Southeastern Europe, University of Warsaw underwater archaeological prospection. During several seasons of research have been raised from the bottom single artifacts. The great majority of them were different types of amphorae, mostly MGS V, MGS VI and Lamboglia 2, dating from the fourth century B.C.
As part of this study will be presented preliminary analysis of objects lifted during 2011 season. From area ‘R’ and ‘S’ comes 13 fragments of amphorae, 2 Gnathia bowls, lid and amphorae stopper. One of amphorae hold a stamp for which known is an analogy from Croatia.
