OverviewEnglish summary: The excavations of Istabl 'Antar were carried out between 1985 and 2005. They revealed remains on a surface of more than two hectares, and a large quantity of archaeological finds of various types, as well as organic material. The publication of this material is currently under progress. Ceramics constitute the largest part of these finds, in quantity as well as quality. This first volume, which is devoted to ceramics, concerns closed groups of finds, mainly from pits. The chronology stretches from the middle of the 9th century to the end of the 10th century. The contribution of these excavations concerns the chronology based on the stratigraphy and numerous numismatic finds, as well as a typology showing an almost complete catalogue of Egyptian productions. Here, we have testimonies to the birth of the Islamic ceramic, at the crossroads of local traditions and outside influences, some even coming from very far away. This turning point sees many changes in the evolution of ceramics and techniques. French description: Les fouilles d'Istabl 'Antar se sont deroulees de 1985 a 2005 et ont mis au jour des vestiges sur une surface de plus de deux hectares. Elles ont livre une quantite considerable de materiels de toutes sortes, y compris de nombreux elements organiques, dont la publication est en cours. Les ceramiques representent une part majeure de ces trouvailles par leur nombre et leur qualite. Ce premier volume qui leur est consacre concerne des ensembles clos, le plus souvent des fosses, dont la chronologie s'echelonne du milieu du ixe siecle jusqu'a la fin du xe siecle. Les apports de la fouille concernent a la fois la chronologie etablie sur la stratigraphie, et de nombreux temoins numismatiques, ainsi qu'une typologie composant un catalogue presque complet des productions egyptiennes. Il s'agit ici de la naissance de la ceramique islamique, au carrefour de traditions locales et d'apports exterieurs, quelquefois tres lointains. Cette periode charniere est riche en changements qui se decelent aisement dans l'evolution des ceramiques et des techniques qui leur sont propres.
