Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present new archaeological data coming from the recent excavations in Adulis (Eritrea) in the so-called “Church of the British Museum”, discovered in 1868 by Captain Goodfellow. New excavations that began in 2018 have led to highlight the biggest church known so far in Adulis, probably the ecclesia episcopalis. It stands as a 30 meters long building, which follows the typical Aksumite architectural layout. Also, the great quantity of decorated marbles coming from the church are of great interest, revealing important contacts with Yemen and Byzantium, mostly in the 6th century AD. The new archaeological data will be contextualized in the wider scenario of the rise and establishment of early Christianity in the Aksumite kingdom, until the arrival of Islam.

阿杜利斯（厄立特里亚）和非洲之角宗教身份考古：来源、建筑和最近的考古发掘

本文的目的是介绍古德费罗上尉于1868年在阿杜利斯（厄立特里亚）发现的所谓“大英博物馆教堂”中的最新考古数据。2018年开始的新发掘突显了阿杜利斯迄今为止已知的最大教堂，可能是主教教会。它是一座30米长的建筑，遵循典型的阿克苏米特建筑布局。此外，来自教堂的大量装饰大理石也引起了人们的极大兴趣，揭示了与也门和拜占庭的重要联系，主要发生在公元6世纪。新的考古数据将被置于阿克苏米特王国早期基督教兴起和建立的更广泛场景中，直到伊斯兰教的到来。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
