Test Results of Fine Sediment Fractions from the Tell el-Farkha Archaeological Site, Nile Delta, Egypt

The Tell el-Farkha site is located immediately to the north of the modern village of Ghazalah and occupies an area of c. 4.5ha. It is marked by three hills: the Eastern Kom, Central Kom and Western Kom. This research will focus on the profile of the layers of sediment. These studies are important b...
