New research at the site of Philoxenite in northern Egypt has identified six large building complexes, each based on a modular design. Each building is composed of replicated segments and dates to the 6th c. CE. This approach to design, used at Philoxenite, is not seen elsewhere on such a scale at this date. Nevertheless, modular design was deeply rooted in the construction traditions of the Roman and Early Byzantine periods, when it was used primarily for shops, warehouses, and cisterns. In Philoxenite, it was used to erect a town district that catered to the needs of pilgrims heading from Alexandria to Abū Mīnā, the largest Christian sanctuary at the time.

Le présent article a pour objectif de présenter les petits objets archéologiques recueillis par le père Jean Mécérian, lors des recherches qu'il a menées au cours des années trente du XXe siècle, dans l'Antiochène occidentale, et conservés aujourd'hui à l'Université Saint-Joseph à Beyrouth. Ce lot comprend des eulogies en terre cuite, des moules métalliques, des petits objets en pierre, des récipeints en céramique et de nombreuses pipes ottomanes. Les plus anciens objets de la collection datent de la période hellénistique et les plus récents remontent au XIXe siècle. En raison de l'absence de renseignements précis sur le contexte de leur découverte, ces objets - publiés ici pour la première fois - ont avant tout valeur de pièces de musée. Ce lot comporte aussi quelques faux et des objets provenant du marché des antiquités. Bien qy'elle ne porte que sur une partie de la collection, la présente étude permet de compléter les informations sur la nature de cette dernière et de mettre en lumière les intérets scientifiques du père Jean Mécérian.

The Cultural Biography of a Pilgrimage Token: From Hagiographical to Archaeological Evidence

Across the eastern Mediterranean, the personnel of late antique pilgrimage sites distributed terracotta tokens stamped with depictions of saints, scenes from the life of Christ, and related imagery. Using primarily hagiographical sources, scholars associate tokens with healing practices, the veneration of icons, and the worship of relics. Certainly, hagiographies offer valuable representations of ritual processes, but they also make claims on the proper distribution, meaning, and use of tokens amidst a diversity of intercessory activities. How, in practice, was a token produced and distributed? How did pilgrims use tokens at and away from pilgrimage complexes beyond the assertions made by hagiographers? This article answers these questions by tracing the “cultural biography” of a token. It analyzes the archaeological contexts of tokens in order to clarify select statuses that a token might occupy during its lifetime, including commodity, gift, domestic object, funerary object, relic, rubbish, and art object. This approach lays the foundation for examining hagiographical claims regarding the use of tokens as one among many assertions in the contested process of harnessing the power of saints. It illustrates the capacity of devotees to exhibit diverse practices as well as the efforts of personnel at pilgrimage sites to shape those practices.
