摘要：The history of ancient jewellery has increasingly become the subject of research in recent years (e.g., Entwistle and Adams 2010); however, and despite the effort of many scholars, its study is still in its early stages. The identification of regional workshops and their locations is one of the major unsolved problems. This fact is due particularly to the nature of the mate- rial: pieces of jewellery are lightweight and therefore portable with the result that a piece of jewellery found in one corner of the ancient world may have been made in another corner, no matter how and why it moved from A to B. In most cases findspots do not reveal anything about the origin of the objects. This article attempts to introduce a methodology for identify- ing workshops and workshop regions using the case study of Late Antique Egypt.
