SUMMARY:Digging sand\, writing history: the importance of the archaeologica
 l contexts in the interpretation of texts and artifacts
DESCRIPTION:The archaeological excavations of the University of Salento at 
 Dime es-Seba\, ancient Soknopaiou Nesos\, have brought to light new and un
 expected buildings\, contexts\, and objects within the temenos of the temp
 le dedicated to the god Soknopaios. Evidence of the presence of Alexandria
 n-style religious buildings and decorations\, and the wide diffusion withi
 n the temple of painted panels gods represented in Graeco-Roman iconograph
 ical language\, are changing the traditional view of Soknopaiou Nesos\, ba
 sed largely on textual evidence\, as a steadfast Egyptian cultural redoubt
  impervious to both Hellenization and Roman occupation. The archaeology of
  Soknoupaiou Nesos has matured to the point that it is time for us to cont
 extualize and reinterpret the Greek and Demotic texts in their material co
 ntext\, in order to reach a more accurate picture of the local society and
  culture. More broadly\, the modern excavation of Dime may stand as a sign
 ificant example of how much contextual archaeology can contribute to the h
 istorical reconstruction of ancient societies.
