Abstract
Determination the provenance of many museum objects collected in the 19th and early 20th centuries remains problematic in the most cases, since they were mainly purchased from antiques dealers. This is also true for the collection of Egyptian antiquities by Vladimir S. Golenischev, currently located in the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. Among the various artifacts, more than a hundred ceramic vessels are represented here. An analysis of Golenischev’s card file, his brief notes and notes in pencil and ink on the objects themselves allow us to determine the place of origin of some of them. These were mainly the necropoleis of Gebelein and Semaine (Upper Egypt), less often Berenice (on the Red Sea coast) and Elephantine. This deepens our knowledge about museum objects together with the technological analysis of clay fabric and morphological analysis, which in some cases makes it possible to define the manufacturing place of pottery.
