Summary/Abstract: Continued excavation by a PCMA archaeological mission was concentrated on uncovering monastic architecture on kom A, which is the site of the main medieval monastic compound at Deir el-Naqlun. Work proceeded in three sectors of the site: the southern part (Site B, refuse dump, reported on separately), the center (Buildings J and AA , including more graves of 12th century date from the southwestern part of the medieval cemetery) and the northern end (Site 2011.1 = K.1) of the kom. A linen-wrapped deposit of votive objects from the Northern Building (Site 2011.1) contained four small crosses cast of lead and a round lead plaque with Arabic inscription.
