Il constitue la publication des actes de deux colloques tenus à l’Ifao (2011) et à l’université de Paris-Sorbonne (2012), dans le cadre du programme de recherche « Systèmes Toponymiques » de l’Ifao. Ces travaux d’onomastique, issus d’une tradition ancienne à l’Ifao, proposent une approche renouvelée de la toponymie pour le territoire égyptien, laissant une large place aux problématiques de l’espace et du territoire. Ils portent sur la longue durée de manière à permettre d’aborder les mutations géographiques et les évolutions dans la perception de l’espace.
This volume gathers thirteen contributions on place names in Ancient and Medieval Egypt. It is the publication of the proceedings of two conferences, held in the Ifao (2011) and the University of Paris-Sorbonne (2012), as part of the research programme “Toponymic Systems” of the Ifao. This research on onomastics, stemming from a long tradition in the Ifao, proposes a renewed approach of toponymy, including current reflections on space and territory. It aims to consider the evolution of place names on a long-term chronology, as to evaluate the geographical changes and modifications in the perception of space.

The discoveries made in the kom and the Ptolemaic town, which extends below south, as well as in modern fields to the west, indicate that the site has been occupied since at least the eighteenth dynasty with a peak during the Saite period. They allow for the first time to link Pharaonic and Hellenistic periods in Mareotis and emphasize the importance of the coastal western fringe of Egypt since Pharaonic times. In this article are published a fragmentary stele of Seti II and a wine amphora handle in the name of Meritaten; besides, is presented a study of place names in the area during the Pharaonic era and some hypotheses about the function of the site during Amarnian and Ramessid times.
La Mission française de Taposiris Magna fouille, depuis 2012, le site voisin de Kôm el-Nogous, identifié à la Plinthine des Grecs.
Les découvertes faites dans le kôm et dans la ville ptolémaïque qui se développe en contrebas au sud, ainsi que dans les champs modernes situés à l’ouest, indiquent que le site est occupé depuis au moins la XVIIIe dynastie et que l’occupation est particulièrement intensive à l’époque saïte. Elles permettent pour la première fois de lier époques pharaonique et hellénistique en Maréotide et soulignent l’importance de la frange côtière occidentale de l’Égypte dès l’époque pharaonique. Nous publions dans cet article un fragment de stèle de Séthy II et une anse d’amphore à vin au nom de Merytaton, étudions la toponymie de la région à l’époque pharaonique et donnons quelques hypothèses sur la fonction du site aux époques amarnienne et ramesside.

Nowadays split into two parts by a channel, it once housed the pharaonic Mefkat and Graeco-Roman Terenouthis. Since 2012, the Ifao and University of Lille have jointly engaged into a nex archaeological programme on the site. The paper present the story of this long-living city and the main objectives of the project.

Since 1998 a French mission, funded by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has undertaken the study and excavation of this site.
