Sais was Egypt's capital in the 26th Dynasty, but it also had an
earlier history, unknown before the EES/Durham University/SCA work
at the site. This volume is the final excavation report for work
carried out in the Northern Enclosure area of the site at Kom
Rebwa, funded by the British Academy through the Egypt Exploration
Society and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Excavations
between 2000 and 2004 uncovered levels dating between the 20th
Dynasty and the Third Intermediate Period. The best preserved
levels consisted of part of a house, whose roof had collapsed and
an earlier kiln, used for firing faience beads as well as pottery.
Lower, buried layers also included Old Kingdom material, hinting at
the earlier history of the area. The report contains invaluable
information about everyday rural life in the Delta, with anlayses
of the different layers, the pottery and the small finds, as well
as plant remains and animal bones.
