This is the first volume in an important new series that will cover
the historical sites of all 27 governorates of Egypt. It presents a
comprehensive study of 126 archaeological sites located within the
geographic boundaries of Sharqiya Governorate in Egypt's Nile
Delta. The work is based upon and retrieved from the Geographic
Information System (GIS) and the database that were created through
the Egyptian Antiquities Information System (EAIS) project in the
Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA). The objective of the project
is to develop a comprehensive official documentation of historical
sites in all the governorates of Egypt, and consequently to provide
realistic and coherent site information that will be indispensable
not only to archaeologists and researchers but also to governmental
agencies, which can use the information in protecting and managing
the sites. The first part of the volume, in paper book format,
contains introductory manuals, attribute tables of all sites,
satellite images, topographical maps, and keys of cadastral maps
covering the whole governorate. The second part, in digital format
on CD-ROM, contains an individual description of each site, sorted
by markaz, and includes detailed maps and information about the
history, archaeological contents, legal status, state of
preservation, and bibliography of each site.
