The Tell el-Ghaba project was born as part of an international
project launched in the early 1990s by the Egyptian government and
UNESCO to save the monuments of North Sinai threatened by the
imminent construction of the El-Salam Canal and its distributaries.
This is the third volume of the work undertaken by the Argentine
Archaeological Mission (AAM) at Tell el-Ghaba in North Sinai. This
volume of Tell el-Ghaba consolidates and extends the results of the
excavations undertaken in the first stage between 1995 and 1999 and
includes the results of the fieldwork conducted in the second stage
in 2010. The overall objective of this project is to study the
history, archaeology and environment of Tell el-Ghaba. Our research
has been directed at developing a deep knowledge of the site: its
environment, occupancy levels, architecture, economy, urban
planning and social structure, and towards understanding the role
of Tell el-Ghaba at a regional level, taking into account its
particular location in the north-eastern boundary of the Delta and
its proximity to the route that once connected Egypt with the south
of Palestine. The volume is divided into an introduction and four
main sections: The environmental and physical studies; the
fieldwork; pottery; other finds.
