This volume presents findings from 2017-2020 excavations at Kom al-Ahmer and Kom Wasit, focusing on Hellenistic housing and a public bathhouse. It highlights trade links with the Aegean, Gaza, and Cilicia, and includes insights into the Western Nile Delta’s role post-AD 641.
Kom al-Ahmer-Kom Wasit III presents the results of our investigations of the Hellenistic phases at the two sites. The survey and excavations occurred between 2017 and 2020 and focused on the residential districts, individual houses, and a public tholoi bathhouse. The volume also includes specialist contributions on the material culture, including Greek pottery and numismatic finds. The Western Nile Delta (the chora of Alexandria) enjoyed a very active life of commerce and trade with the Mediterranean ports. The imports found at Kom al-Ahmer and Kom Wasit emphasise the region’s strong connection with the Aegean Sea, Gaza, and the Cilician region. In addition, an account on the situation of the Western Delta in the Early Arab period presents a fresh overview of the current debate on Egypt beyond AD 641.
