This book is the first of a three-volume study of the structures and objects discovered during nine seasons of excavations (2017-2025) within the Ramesses II temple precinct conducted under the direction of Sameh Iskander. This volume contains five chapters organized in two parts; the first presents in three chapters a clear understanding of the precinct site, its extant architectural mud-brick structures outside the stone temple, and a careful investigation of the archeological objects and ceramic data obtained from the excavation. The second part focuses on the data obtained from the excavation of a mysterious mixed deposit of materials that were brought from unknown locations and dumped in one of the temple’s magazines (S15). This deposit offers new insights into our understanding of Abydos, a site rich in historical and archaeological significance.
