Summary/Abstract: This season’s busy schedule was filled with multiple tasks covering both conservation and archaeological work. With pending completion of the first stage of the Kom el-Dikka Preservation Project (southern zone of the site), our activities were conditioned to a large extent by the requirements of this project. Top priority was given to the work in the bath complex where most of the preservation operations were concentrated. A vast collection of Islamic-age finds originating from both former and present excavations continued to be documented and studied. Likewise, a collection of some 80 inscribed funerary stelae was studied in preparation for publication.
