Hopefully unlike the Sewer District, I think something has gone wrong with the solids.

A new volume, edited by Klaas Bentein, on the framing of everyday communication in ancient documents, esp. papyri. Some really interesting chapters: given my own interests, I'd note Cattafi and Bruno's chapters in particular!

A new volume from the excellent William J. Johnson, on "Punctuation, Iota Adscript, and Nu-movable in Ancient Literary Bookrolls," published in the Trismegistos Online Pubs series (scroll to the bottom). Plus he has plans for a more open-access website with a lot of the data (and more)!

New papyri from Tebtunis! Every volume in the P.Tebt. series is a gem (though I'm unsurprisingly partial to volume 2) and this one has some great stuff for the literature, Ptolemaic, and Roman enthusiasts alike.

Editions of twenty literary papyri (mostly from the Bodleian but also Florence, Geneva, Columbia, and Cairo), representing a pretty wide range of types of literature, with plenty of Homer for the Homerists, all the way over to a couple of treatises on medical astrology!
