Domestic District in the City of Amenhotep III in Western Thebes
The third season of the Egyptian mission to the so-called “Golden City,” known in the time of Amenhotep III by the name “The Dazzling Aten” exposed the remains of domestic structures dating to the reign of that king. The city itself was first discovered in 2021 by a team headed by Zahi Hawass. In this article, the architectural style of three of twenty-three excavated houses is discussed in an attempt to shed light on the activities conducted wit…
Excavations in Western Thebes, 2021
In 2021, working from the outer wall of Medinet Habu north about 100 meters, west of the road that leads to the Valley of the Queens, and east to the temples of Thutmose III, Ramesses IV and Amunhotep Son of Hapu, the Egyptian Expedition discovered three districts of a city with well-preserved architecture. The borders of the districts have serpentine walls. The artifacts from the main district indicated the manufacture of faience and stone jewel…
Burial of Bukhaef
The discovery of a yellow/white on black coffin, shabtis, and a fragmentary Book of the Dead papyrus of Bukhaef by the Egyptian Expedition in 2020–2021 from a shaft near the pyramid of Neith in the Teti Pyramid cemetery is discussed. The material dates to the late Eighteenth-early Nineteenth Dynasties
Kom Abu Billo/Terenuthis
Kom Abu Billo is a small village on the western edge of the Delta in the governorate of Beheira, about 70 km northwest of Cairo. This site is best known for its Greco‐Roman and early Coptic Period monuments. The first exploration of this site was in 1935, when the University of Michigan carried out a one‐month project focused on the Greco‐Roman tombs at the western edge of the site.

Radiocarbon Dates of Old and Middle Kingdom Monuments in Egypt
Between 1984 and 1995 over 450 organic samples were collected from monuments built during the Old and Middle Kingdoms. The most suitable samples were selected for dating. The purpose was to establish a radiocarbon chronology with samples from secure context and collected with the careful techniques required for 14 C samples. This chronology is compared to the historical chronology established by reconstructing written documentation
A Fragmentary Monument of Djoser from Saqqara
Publication of a monument discovered at Saqqara, belonging to Djoser and, specifically, to his pyramid complex. This limestone piece with reliefs on three of its sides and an unfinished rough-cut back and top had been broken into two parts. The decoration is composed of snakes, jackals, lions/lionesses, serekks and the Horus name Ntry-ht. Three locations for the original emplacement of the monument are suggested: the hebsed court, the north side …
Chronology, Sediments, and Subsistence at Merimda Beni Salama
Test excavation at Merimda Beni Salama indicates initial occupation of the site during the early part of the fifth millennium BC. Subsistence was based on the exploitation of cattle, sheep/goats, pigs, fish, hippopotamus, and on the cultivation of wheat and barley. Both flake and bifacial tools were utilized; the bifacial tools include foliate 'knives', sickles, and a concave-based triangular point. The assemblage shows close affinity to the Fayu…
