Descrizione ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS IN ROSETTA - EGYPT
This book deals with Archaeological excavations in Rosetta - Egypt, and the documentation of scientific achievements in three projects of unprecedented discoveries in archaeological sites, these projects are: the archaeological discoveries at the site of the Rosetta Castle which is attributed to the Mamluk Sultan Qaytbay in the village of Burj of Rosetta, the site of Al-¿Abed Castle on the Mediterranean coast and the Zawiyat Al-Bawab in Abu Mandour, south of Rosetta.I conducted these excavations during the period from 1985 to 1989, during my work as director of the Rashid antiquities area and head of the mission of the Islamic and Coptic antiquities sector at the Egyptian Antiquities Authority.These excavations at the three sites helped to reach new results, which are among the most important scientific achievements that helped to determine the full details, plan and architectural elements of the two castles and The Zawiya, which is a new and unprecedented addition.
