4 Mariusz A. Jucha Cracow The North-Eastern Part of the Nile Delta Research Perspectives. Polish Archaeological Survey in the Ash-Sharqiyyah Governorate The history of the Nile Delta in the Predynastic and the Early Dynastic Periods is still little known, which makes it difficult to describe the role that this area played especially in the process of state formation in Egypt at the turn of the 4 th and the 3 rd century BC, and its significance to the development of trading relations with the Near East. Until recently the only information concerning that period in the Nile Delta was obtained mostly from the excavation at Minshat Abu Omar (the North-Eastern part of the Nile Delta (fig. 33) 1 and Buto (the Western part of the Nile Delta). 2 These data were supplemented also by excavations at Tell Ibrahim Awad 3 and el-tell el-iswid (South) 4 as well as Tell el-daba a (el-qanan), 5 Tell el-samara, 6 Beni Amir, 7 Ezbet el-tell / Kufur Nigm, 8 Minshat Ezzat, 9 Tell el-masha la, 10 Tell Gabbara. 11 Undoubtedly, 1 K.

5 Mariusz A. Jucha the roads to Canaan ran through the region where those sites were situated (the North Eastern part of the Delta) (fig. 33). Therefore, the inhabitants of these sites most probably participated in commercial relations between Egypt and Canaan at the beginning of the Egyptian state. Still, in most cases only preliminary results of the research done here have been published so far. Consecutive data were also added by the surveys conducted in the discussed area almost twenty years ago, among them: the Amsterdam University Survey Expedition to the North- Eastern Nile Delta, 12 the Munich East-Delta Expedition, 13 the Italian Archeological Mission of the Centro Studi e Richerche Ligabue Venice to the Eastern Nile Delta. 14 Since then only a few sites of the period under consideration have been explored archaeologically. Moreover, on several sites, only a few seasons of excavations have been conducted, archaeological works have been discontinued and the results of the work remain unpublished. Furthermore, the number of Predynastic/Early Dynastic sites presently excavated in the North-Eastern Nile Delta is limited to only a few (e.g.: Tell el-farkha, el- Tell el-iswid (South)). For all of those reasons the scope of research on the Nile Delta during the period of state formation in Egypt is still insufficient, although on the other hand it can be clearly observed that a number of sites of that period do occur in the region under consideration. In particular, the North-Eastern Delta, with its sites situated on the trade roads to Canaan, must have played an important role 15 here but our knowledge of its early history is still limited. More new information has recently (over several years) been gained from the increasing number of excavations done in the Eastern part of the Nile Delta (fig. 33) on the sites dated to the above mentioned periods. These include: the Polish excavations at Tell el-farkha, 16 French excavations at Kom el-khilgan, 17 and Tell el-iswid, 18 and Egyptian excavations at several sites in that area. 12 E.C.M. van den Brink, A Geo-Archeological Survey in the North-Eastern Nile Delta, Egypt; the First Two Seasons, a Preliminary Report, MDAIK 43 (1987), pp. 7-31; E.C.M. van den Brink, The Amsterdam University Survey Expedition to the North-Eastern Nile Delta ( ), [in:] E.C.M. van den Brink (ed.), The Archaeology of the Nile Delta.

6 The North-Eastern Part of the Nile Delta Research Perspectives... The results of these researches, which can be found in various reports, articles and publications, prove some very important changes that took place in that part of the Delta. Some of them are still unexplained because of the paucity of comparative material. They concern mainly the character of the infiltration of the habitants of Upper Egypt (belonging to the Naqada Culture) who superseded the habitants of the Nile Delta (belonging to the Lower Egyptian Culture). Another important aspect is the role played by the Nile Delta settlements in the process of state formation in Egypt. Although the basic role was played by the sites of Upper Egypt, the recent research proves that the Nile Delta sites were also important and had a great significance in that process. It seems that as early as the Predynastic Period the Nile Delta was densely populated, and many of sites, which later became important, have existed since that period. 19 Unfortunately, we often do not have enough data to discuss their chronology. The research on Nile Delta geomorphology also confirms that already in the Predynastic Period conditions here were favourable for settlement. 20 That makes the perspectives for research on the early settlements in the Delta very promising. Consequently, due to the considerable lack of research conducted in the area of the Eastern part of the Nile Delta, there are still a lot of questions concerning its history and the significance in the Predynastic and the Early Dynastic Periods and insufficient knowledge on the character of cultural and political changes at the time of state formation in Egypt. This induced us to carry out the archaeological survey in the North-Eastern part of the Nile Delta. The main aims of the project were: 1) to locate the new archaeological sites from the Predynastic and the Early Dynastic Periods, 2) to choose the site most suitable for further research and dated to the mentioned periods, 3) to check the present state of preservation of several sites (the most promising archaeologically) visited in the 1980s and to gather more pottery material allowing for their more precise dating (e.g. Gezira Sangaha), 4) to gather more new data concerning the sites which existed in that part of the Delta that would allow comparison with the results of the recent research in other sites of that area. At the present state of research in the Nile Delta it is tempting to make such comparison especially with Tell el-farkha, the site situated to the west of the surveyed area, which seems to be one of the most important settlements of the Eastern Nile Delta during the Predynastic and the Early Dynastic Periods. The question is now worth answering whether some small villages depending on Tell el-farkha existed in the area under consideration or there were independent settlements of the same significance and size which might be the part of the trading route between Egypt, Sinai and the southern Canaan. It will also be vital to start 19 van den Brink, Settlement patterns, pp ; Y. Tristant, L occupation humaine dans le delta du Nil aux 5 e et 4 e millénaires.

7 Mariusz A. Jucha excavation at the site of the same period, which would complement the missing data and help to expand that we already have. It is even more important considering the danger of some of the sites being destroyed by local industry. The project coincides well with the present trends observed in archaeology of the Nile Delta. The increasing interest in that part of Egypt and archaeological research conducted there was recently visible during the The Supreme Council of Antiquities / The Egypt Exploration Society Delta Survey Workshop, held at the British Council in Cairo on the 26 th of March The project fits well into other researches carried out in the area, providing further data useful for comparison, reconstruction of the settlement pattern and history of the Eastern part of the Delta in the discussed periods. Apart of that it coincides with the archaeological research conducted presently in the Western 21 and Central 22 part of the Delta as well as with the EES project of collecting information on the Nile Delta sites. The above-mentioned survey of the Polish Archaeological Expedition to the North- Eastern Nile Delta 23 was carried out in Ash-Sharqiyyah Governorate. The area under survey was defined as: the road between the cities Abu el-shuquq, Kafr Saqr, Abu Kebir, El-Beirum near Faqus (in the south), Bahr Hadus Canal (the border between Ash-Sharqiyya and Ad- Daqahliyya) (in the west), the canal and the road connecting Aulad Saqr and El-Sufiya (in the north) and the canal and the road connecting El-Sufiya, El-Nawaf a and El-Beirum near Faqus (in the east). It is a part of the Delta through which the former Tanitic branch supposedly flowed, situated to the west of the course of the former Pelusiac Nile branch. 24 Owing to circumstances, the preliminary reconnaissance of the area lasted only several days during which six sites were visited. These included: Tell el-murrah, Tell Gez. el-faras, Tell Akhdar, Gezira Sangaha, Tell Ginidba, and Tell Abu Umran. Two of them (Tell Ginidba, Tell Abu Umran) are presently being excavated by the Egyptian Archaeological Expedition, therefore they were excluded from our project. On two others (Tell Akhdar, Gezira Sangaha), no material of the Predynastic and the Early Dynastic Periods was found. Moreover, the first of them was badly disturbed by a modern military installation (figs 33-34). In the case of Gezira Sangaha (figs 33, 35), its great size and the time spent here during the first visit disabled us from checking the area sufficiently. On the part of the site which was surveyed by our expedition almost no anthropological remains were attested. Only several small mud structures in the profile were visible, of uncertain purpose and dating due to lack of pottery material. That site requires a more extensive survey which should be continued during the following seasons. Two other sites (Tell Gez. el-faras and Tell el-murrah) revealed pottery material of the Early Dynastic and the Old Kingdom periods. The first of them, Tell Gez. el-faras (figs 33, 36), was almost completely overbuilt by the modern village and cemetery. The pottery (fig. 39) collected during the visit on the sites include: shallow bread moulds with a rounded rim (fig. 39:6), deeper bread moulds with a rounded or concave rim top (fig. 39:4-5, 7), vats with a distinct lip-rim (fig. 39:14), red- 21 P.

8 The North-Eastern Part of the Nile Delta Research Perspectives... polished bowls with a simple rim (fig. 39:13), flat plates, jars with a simple rim and wavy formed surface (beer jars) (fig. 39:1), jars with a lip-rim. Most of them show affinity to pottery shapes of the Early Dynastic the Old Kingdom periods known among others from Tell el-farkha (the site situated to the west of the surveyed area). Although the Tell visited by our team is in grater part destroyed, it is possible in several places to collect more data (e.g. pottery) in the future, which could provide new information concerning its chronology. The second one, Tell el-murrah (figs 33, 37-38), is almost undisturbed (only fragments of that site were levelled) and it still rises several metres (ca. 3 m) above the field level. The state of preservation and pottery of the Old Kingdom found on the surface during the first visit here influenced our choice of that site for further research. During the following days the works concentrated mostly on Tell el-murrah. Geophysical research and geological core drillings were done and pottery was collected from the surface at different parts of the Tell. The geophysical research focused on two parts of the site (at the top of the Tell and on the field level) revealed some architectonical structures but these are hardly visible most probably due to the local condition of the soil and rubbish. However, in several places distinct remains of the walls were attested. 25 It was possible to explore only a small part of the site, hence for better understanding of the fragments of structures revealed so far, such research should be continued in the future on a more extended area. The geological core drillings carried out in different parts of the Tell (at the top and at the field level) provide preliminary information on the thickness and extent of cultural layers. These indicate that the bottom layers with pottery material were situated to the depth of more than 4m from the top or slope of the Tell and to the depth of ca. 3 m from the field level. Moreover, it was observed that the water level occurred at a depth of ca. 2-3 m below the field level. That means that the deeper layers with pottery material are accessible archeologically. As the pottery material on the surface dates back mostly to the Old Kingdom (though some pottery fragments belong to earlier periods), it is quite possible that below the upper strata there are some older occupation layers presumably of the Early Dynastic and even the Predynastic Periods. The pottery material (figs 40-41) found on the surface includes different types of rough ware jars with a simple rim or a lip-rim (fig. 40:2-3). Among them there are fragments of beer jars (fig. 40:5) typical of the Old Kingdom. Moreover, there were also attested fragments of fine ware jars with a lip-rim (fig. 40:4). Other forms comprise fine ware cylindrical jars (fig. 40:1) characteristic of the end of the Protodynastic beginning of the Early Dynastic Periods. Among the bowls, we found red polished examples with convex sides and a simple rim (fig. 41:8) or lip-rim, as well as forms with a thickened internal part of the rim (fig. 41:1-2). Meidum bowls (fig. 41:4-5) so characteristic of the Old Kingdom did also occur. Other forms include: fragments of rough ware trays (fig. 41:14) and sherds with a lip-rim belonging to vats (fig. 41:13, 15). Different types of rough ware bread moulds were also very frequent. These include: shallow forms which are generally wider than high, fragments belonging to slightly deeper forms, as well as fragments belonging to medium deep to deep forms with an angular transition dividing the body into two zones. Among them are examples with a rounded, flat or slightly concave rim top and examples with a slightly thickened internal part of the rim (fig. 40:10-11). These forms altogether show strong affinity to pottery assemblages of the Early Dynastic and the Old Kingdom periods. The results of the survey were very promising. Of the six sites visited during the short period of time, two yielded the pottery material from the beginning of the Egyptian state. Of these two, the site of Tell el-murrah due to the good state of preservation, the 25 A. Buszek, Magnetic Survey at Tell el-murrah, in the press. 87
9 Mariusz A. Jucha results of geophysical research and geological core drillings as well as the chronology of the material (mostly pottery) found on the surface is worthy of our further attention. Therefore, continued work at that site, including initial archaeological soundings and regular excavations later on that would facilitate an analysis of the site stratigraphy and description of its chronology, may confirm our first assumption concerning its history based on the preliminary reconnaissance of the area. 88
