Summary/Abstract: Work during the tenth season of excavations at Chhîm, carried out jointly by the Direction Générale des Antiquités and the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology of the University of Warsaw, concentrated on the continuation of earlier projects in two separate sectors: Temenos A, meaning the courtyard in front of the Roman temple, and village E in the section located to the north and northeast of this temple. The main objective was to complete the work in the temenos area, gaining new data on the layout and chronology of successive sanctuaries and their immediate neighborhood. As for the village, the present work added to our knowledge of the plan and development of the settlement, including oil press E.III. Studies of the collected material proceeded concurrently with the excavations.
