TELL EL-FARKHA. PRELIMINARY REPORT, 2007

Summary/Abstract: During the present campaign, work was continued in previously established trenches on all three tells forming the site of Tell el-Farkha. On the Western Kom, the trench which last year had yielded a few pots of undoubtedly ritual character, one of them containing 62 miniature figurines made of hippopotamus tusk, was continued with more similar discoveries. On the Central Kom, which has been investigated since 2000, the culturally sterile gezirah sand was expected. And on the Eastern Kom, the trench was extended once again because of the need to examine several graves clearly visible in outline either on the surface or in section in the trench excavated in previous years.
