News from Texts and Archaeology, edited by Cornelia E. Römer, contains twelve of
the important papers given at the 7th Fayoum Symposium in Cairo in October/November
2018, most of them dealing with archaeology, some with texts. They mirror the focus
of this 7th Symposium, which for the first time took place in Egypt, and which highlighted
the archaeological work recently carried out in the Graeco-Roman Fayoum by Egyptian
and international missions. Papers include a presentation of the first Hellenistic
gymnasium archaeologically attested in Egypt and excavated by the German Archaeological
Institute in Cairo, and a catalogue of the Hellenistic and Roman sculptures which
come from a secure provenance in the oasis. One paper traces the history of the water-wheel
in Egypt, an invention that changed the landscape radically, and shows the sophistication
of water supply in the villages in general. Together with the papers on Greek and
Demotic texts found in the Fayoum, they all draw a picture of the multi-cultural society
of the Egyptian countryside in the Graeco-Roman period. Of special interest are the
three maps attached to the volume as an extra, which show the changing levels of the
lake in the north of the oasis through the pharaonic and Ptolemaic/Roman periods
