Identification of Architectural Roman Remains in the Complex Archaeological Site of Buto ‘Tell El Fara'in’, Northern Egypt, Using Geophysical and Remote Sensing Data
The integrated use of remote sensing (RS) techniques, vertical magnetic gradient (VMG) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) measurements, and, in particular, combined analysis of 2D and 3D data, can provide a viable option for the identification of targets of interest at complicated archaeological sites. In this regard, a case study is Kom C at the archaeological site of Buto (Tell El Fara'in) in the northern Nile Delta (Egypt), where sate…
Tracking the effects of the long‐term changes on the coastal archaeological sites of the Mediterranean using remote sensing data: The case study from the northern shoreline of Nile Delta of Egypt
Climate change effects along with anthropogenic activities present the main factors that threaten the existence of heritage sites across the north Nile Delta of Egypt close to the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea. Observing the changes in the landscape close to the archaeological sites is an important issue for decision‐makers in terms of reducing the negative impact of natural events and human activities. The coastal heritage sites are becomin…
Spondylolysis in ancient Nubian skeletal populations
A comprehensive study of spinal health in ancient Nubia has not been achieved to date. This study is a component of a larger survey of spinal health. It presents a comparative analysis of spondylolysis, with the aim of providing an insight into the quality of life, environmental and socio‐political stresses faced by individuals in ancient Nubia. This study provides bioarchaeological data from 515 adult individuals with preserved lumbar vertebrae …
Revealing the paleolandscape features around the archaeological sites in the northern Nile Delta of Egypt using radar satellite imagery and GEE platform
Egyptian civilization has long flourished along the banks of the Nile, in the south (e.g. Luxor and Aswan), the Middle (e.g. Giza ‘Great Pyramids’) and North (e.g. San El‐Hagar and Buto), as well as the less populated areas of the Sinai Peninsula, the Western Desert and the Red Sea coast. There are archaeological sites date back to the Palaeolithic period and cover the Pre‐dynastic, Pharaonic, Hellenistic‐Roman, Coptic and Muslim periods. Across …

Landscape change in the Nile Delta during the fourth millennium BC: A new perspective on the Egyptian Predynastic and Protodynastic periods
The role environmental change may have played at the dawn of Egyptian history has been overlooked in comparison with other periods. Natural landscape changes taking place in the Nile Delta are argued here to have been a facilitating factor allowing, and possibly stimulating, socioeconomic changes leading to the ‘Lower Egyptian – Naqada Transition’ (LE-NT, c. 3350 BC). In this context, the LE-NT may be understood in terms of regional elites using …
Landscapes of the Bashmur: Settlements and Monasteries in the Northern Egyptian Delta from the Seventh to the Ninth Century
Human and Deltaic Environments in Northern Egypt in Late Antiquity
This paper analyses the relationship between archaeological sites from the Roman-Late Roman period in the north-central Delta of Egypt and the palaeotopography and environmental conditions from the 1st millennium BC to 1st millennium AD . The location of the archaeological sites is mapped according to survey maps of the 19th and 20th c. and digital topographic models from satellite data. The Ptolemaic and Roman context for the apparent ‘boom’ in …
Triangular Landscapes: Environment, Society, and the State in the Nile Delta under Roman Rule by Katherine Blouin
200 PHOENIX been given to the particular Roman understanding of jurisdiction and magistrate’s discretion . Another major theme of this chapter is the use of “‘signalling’ words” (151) to situate complaints within the legal system, which is central to an exemplary discussion of the development of a petition from draft to clear copy (P.Cair.Goodsp. 15). In Chapter Six he is concerned with the use of violence “to redefine and restructure . . . inter…

Modern Sa el‐Hagar, in the west‐central Delta, was the location of the ancient city of Sais, known as Sau in ancient Egyptian.
Merimda Beni Salama
The site of Merimde Beni Salame lies on the desert edge at the western side of the Egyptian Delta. The site originally extended for a distance of around 5 km along the Delta edge, with a concentration of settlements and cemeteries at the entrance to a wadi leading to the Western Desert.
Bubastis/Tell Basta
The modern town of Zagazig in the eastern Nile Delta stands on the site of ancient Bubas‐tis (Per‐Bastet).

The site is close to the modern city of Mansura and was known by the ancient name Hebytet or Per‐Hebytet, then Hebyt and Per‐Hebyt, and is preserved as Behbeit.
El‐Omari
A Neolithic settlement and cemetery site at the entrance to Wadi Hof on the eastern bank of the Nile, 3 km north of Helwan. Radiocarbon dates give a range for the site from around 4600 to 4200 BCE . Excavations discovered several strata of occupation, with locally produced pottery, imported and local flints, and stone vases, perhaps from Palestine. Faunal and floral evidence suggests that the settlement was engaged primarily in food production. T…

This paper publishes Prehistoric archaeological material from the EES work at Sais. Excavation 3 was carried out in 2001 in the ‘Great Pit’ and produced pottery, lithics, and faunal and floral material from three main phases: the Early Neolithic (c. 4,500–4,200 BC), Middle to Late Neolithic (c. 4,000–3,800 BC) and the Buto-Maadi Period (c. 3,500 BC). The pottery and object catalogue discusses the typology and wares of the pottery from each phase …

Pindar and his reputation in antiquity
‘Pindar was incredibly admired and honour'd among the Ancients, even to that degree, that we may believe they saw more in him than we do now.’ Abraham Cowley's rather ingenuous statement, introducing in 1656 a significantly curtailed translation of Horace, Odes 4.2, retitled ‘The Praise of Pindar’, pinpoints what was to become a dominant tension in Pindaric criticism, in the attempt to reconcile the reputation (drawn largely from Horace, with Qui…
