Abstract

In the winter/spring of 2013 a new project was initiated by the lead author in the region of Merimde Beni Salama: the Imbaba Governorate Prehistoric Survey. 1 This inter-disciplinary survey focussed along the western Nile Delta desert edge, from the registered archaeological site of Merimde Beni Salama in the south, northwards to the modern town of el-Khatatbah and the el-Ahmes quarry area. This survey developed from previous research in the region by the EES Minufiyeh Archaeological Survey, when members of the team first visited the region in 2008. 2 A second study season was also undertaken in in the winter of 2014, 3 and the third in autumn 2014; the results of the latter are not included here.
