The second volume of Excavations at Mendes furthers the publication
of our archaeological work at the site of Tel er-Rub'a, ancient
Mendes, in the east central Delta. Mendes is proving to be one of
the most exciting sites in the Nile Delta. Occupied from
prehistoric times until the Roman Period, Mendes reveals the nature
of a typical Late Egyptian city, its distribution of economy, and
demography. The discoveries reported on in this volume were wholly
unexpected, and bear meaning fully on Ancient Egyptian history:
these include the prosperity and size of the original Old Kingdom
city, the major contributions of Ramesses II and Amasis to the
monumental nature of the city, and the role of the city in the
period c. 600-100 B.C. as an entrepot for Mediterranean trade.
