Discovering Tombs and Facilities in Tel Al-Koua

The Egyptian archaeological mission in the Tell El Koua area of the Ismailia Governorate has uncovered a group of tombs, a residential area, as well as ovens and silos dating back to the Second Intermediate Period. This discovery aims to provide a clearer picture of the nature of life and settlement in the Eastern Delta during that era, encompassing residential sites, storage facilities, production establishments, and burial sites. It contributes to a better understanding of the transition from the Second Intermediate Period to the beginning of the modern state. The findings also revealed ten mud-brick tombs belonging to the Fifteenth Dynasty, along with various artifacts such as bronze tools, pottery, and vessels bearing the "Tell el-Yehudiya" style. The excavation indicates that the site was in use until the middle of the Eighteenth Dynasty, with evidence of extensive trade exchanges. It confirms the site's importance as a major location connected to the Wadi Tumulus axis.
