Tuna el-Gabel's excavations represent a model of the Egyptian excavation's nature, in terms of
variations and fluctuations in degrees of humidity and temperature throughout the year. The
excavations contain various types of antiquities which are made from different organic and
inorganic materials belong to different Egyptian eras, especially the Ptolemaic era. These
conditions have an impact on finding a certain kind of fungus damage, which passively affects
the antiquities in the excavations. This research presents a practical study meant to determine
and define the fungi existed in the organic and inorganic antiquities in Tuna el- Gabel's
excavations. Six samples were taken from different Archaeological objects from which 24
fungal strains representing 10 genera were isolated. The identified fungal isolates ; Aspergillus
niger, Aspergillus terreus, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus humicola, Fusarium moniliforme,
Chaetomium indicum, Helminthosporium sativum, Alternaria tenuis and Rhizopus sp.
Comparative study using different types of fungicides and natural products on the isolated
fungal species suggested that the complete inhibition of tested fungal species was performed
with lower concentration of clove oil, which is harmless to humans, (0.75%) than the fungicides.
