Abstract:

The Minufiyeh Archaeological survey was instigated in 2005 to address the issue of habitation, throughout prehistory and history, within the central Delta region. Until recently, many scholars believed that the region would have been too inhospitable to sustain settlement, however these beliefs had never been tested through a systematic survey of the area. In 2005 the Egypt Exploration Society’s Minufiyeh Archaeological Survey commenced a program of ground survey, hand augering and geophysical research across the region to establish the spatial and chronological distribution of sites throughout Minufiyeh. In two seasons, 45 sites have already been placed on the map, the majority of which were previously unrecorded. In some cases substantial and well-preserved archaeological remains are still visible on the surface, and the sites visited ranged from those that would a) benefit from future excavations, b) benefit from drill-coring to establish the chronological range and nature of sites, and c) have no apparent surface signs of archaeology or indications of finds following discussions with villagers. This paper will present the results of the survey to date and discuss current hypotheses concerning site distribution in the region.
