This is the second and final volume of scientific and
interdisciplinary reports on the excavations and research conducted
at Tell el-Borg, north Sinai, between 1998 and 2008, written by the
scholars and specialists who worked on the site under the direction
of Professor James K. Hoffmeier. This volume focuses on the
cemetery areas, which yield more than a dozen tombs, typically made
of mud brick, some of which were constructed for a single occupant
and some of which were larger tombs that accommodated multiple
family members. Included is a treatment of an area of “public”
space featuring a temple and a well, among other things, and a
study of the geological results of the nearby ancient Ballah Lakes
that offers new data on the history of the Nile distributary that
flowed by Tell el-Borg. The balance of the work deals with
specialty reports, including the faunal and botanical remains, the
clay coffins, and elite stones. A concluding chapter offers a
synthesis of the decade of work and ties together the finds
published in both volumes. In addition to the editor, the
contributors to this volume include Stephen Moshier, Bahaa Gayed,
Gregory D. Mumford, Scott D. Haddow, Mark Janzen, Thomas W. Davis,
Rexine Hummel, Hesham M. Hussein, Carole McCartney, Michelle A.
Loyet, Louise Bertini, and Salima Ikram.
