Pottery reveals secrets of Byzantine city
Excavations at the Ain Al-Sabeel archaeological site in the Dakhla Oasis of New Valley have revealed an integrated residential city dating back to the Byzantine era approximately 1,700 years ago. The site includes a basilica church, a defensive fortress, and residential buildings made of mud bricks, along with rooms used for commercial transactions and correspondence that document the daily lives of the inhabitants. The discoveries, including 200 pottery pieces and coins from the Byzantine period, point to social and religious development, with the church serving as a major religious center, alongside houses and tools used in daily life. These findings provide evidence of the economic activities of the population during that era. The sites and artifacts uncovered are significant for studying the religious, social, and economic life of Byzantine communities in Egypt.
