Recent work in Minufiyeh
Egypt Exploration SocietyThe Minufiyeh Archaeological Survey, directed by Dr Joanne Rowland, is part of the Society’s Delta Survey (http://www.ees.ac.uk/deltasurvey/dsintro.html), and has recently completed its fourth season of work in the central Delta province of Minufiyeh.
The 2008 season lasted from 26 March to 17 May and involved 1) a ground survey in the area of Khattatbah, aimed at identifying prehistoric remains on the desert edges, 2) the continuation of the province-wide ground survey, which was begun in 2005, 3) the re-opening of a test excavation trench in a cemetery on the Quesna gezira, 4) drill coring in the low ground around Quesna and, 5) a resistance tomography survey in the village of Kom al Ahmar, Minuf.
The Austrian West Delta Expedition led by Hermann Junker visited Khattatbah in 1927-8. The landscape has altered much since that time, but despite extensive land reclamation in the area, stone tools were visible on the surface in some areas, and in one spot a cluster of New Kingdom ceramic sherds was also in evidence.
