Prehistoric and Early Predynastic Faiyum and Delta

Thanks to everyone who pointed out that my website about the prehistoric and Predynastic periods in the Faiyum, Cairo and the Western Delta was down. The domain expired whilst I was ill, and it has been a bit of fun to get it reactivated - but it is up and running again.

It is simply that new data, mostly confirming what is already known. needs to be added.
