‘Marea’ is situated on the south-western shore of Lake Mareotis, some 40 km south-west of Alexandria and 4 km south of the Mediterranean coast, in a region that enjoyed considerable economic significance in the Graeco-Roman Period due to wine production. In 2011, a Polish expedition from the Archaeological Museum of Kraków, on behalf of the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, initiated excavations at House H1 and focused their research in the structure’s southern reaches. Then, in both 2014 and 2016, the excavations continued under the direction of a Polish team from the University of Warsaw. Based on this archaeological research as well as a stratigraphic analysis, it was possible to conclude that over the years the character of House H1 underwent substantial changes attested to by various kinds of alterations (wall demolition, introducing new partition structures and installations inside of rooms, constant rise of occupation levels). Our research enabled us to distinguish four main phases of habitation in this part of the archaeological site, beginning from the second century until its demise before the ninth century.

马雷奥蒂斯湖上的“马雷亚”：罗马双耳筒垃圾场、拜占庭时期的房屋及其早期的伊斯兰居民

“马雷亚”位于马雷奥蒂斯湖西南岸，亚历山大西南约 40 公里，地中海沿岸以南 4 公里，该地区因葡萄酒生产而在希腊罗马时期享有相当大的经济意义. 2011 年，来自克拉科夫考古博物馆的波兰探险队代表波兰地中海考古中心启动了 H1 房屋的挖掘工作，并将研究重点放在该结构的南端。然后，在 2014 年和 2016 年，在华沙大学的波兰团队的指导下，挖掘工作继续进行。根据考古研究和地层分析，可以得出这样的结论：多年来，H1 房屋的特征发生了重大变化，这证明了各种改建（墙壁拆除、在房间内引入新的隔断结构和装置，职业水平不断上升）。我们的研究使我们能够区分考古遗址这一部分的四个主要居住阶段，从二世纪开始，直到九世纪之前它的灭亡。
