Crafts in the temple: the Ptolemaic inlay workshop in the Soknebtynis sanctuary
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The economic role of temples in Graeco-Roman Egypt has been stressed on various occasions. In fact, they constituted key points of the local administrative system and did not only cover religious functions. The main sanctuaries consisted in the temple building, home of the god, which contained his living effigy, and a series of connected paraphernalia. From an archaeological point of view, production facilities and warehouses inside the temples are often poorly visible, because they were mainly built of mudbricks, and therefore are more exposed to post-depositional processes. In this context, the possibility of locating the workshops unearthed by the Italian Archaeological Mission in Egypt at the site of Tebtynis (years 1930-1936), thanks to the study of an extraordinary archival documentation preserved both in Italy and Canada, offers the chance to obtain a preliminary topographic and typological overview of the annexes of the temples during the Graeco-Roman period. The following paper aims to investigate, by way of example, that «laboratorio di smalti colorati tolemaici» (workshop of colored Ptolemaic enamels) which is described by Carlo Anti as the source of some of the most relevant «oggetti d’arte» (art objects) discovered during his excavations in Tebtynis.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
