The Project aims at carrying out an archeological survey of the northeastern part of the
Nile Delta and locating archeological sites from Predynastic and Early Dynastic periods. Sites visited
during the first season included Tell Akhdar, Gezira Sangaha, Tell Gezira el-Faras, Tell Ginidba, Tell
Abu Umran and Tell el-Murra, which - as the most interesting of these sites - was chosen for further
research. It included magnetic prospection and geological core drillings. Most surface pottery
material shows affinities to Old Kingdom forms, with some pieces similar to Early Dynastic shapes.
The core drillings indicated that surface strata from the Old Kingdom may overlie older occupation
layers. Regular (linear) anomalies observed on the magnetic map seem to correspond to remains of
mud-brick walls.
