Abstract

Kom Defsho, located to the north of the city of Kafr al-Dawwar about 7 km in the Behera Governorate in the Egyptian Delta[1], is one of the most important Egyptian archaeological hills. This archaeological hill is of special importance, as many archaeological excavations took place there, the first of which began in 1995. Many stone coffins and pottery vessels were uncovered during the excavation. It was followed by other excavations such as the one in 2012 and I was part of the work team in this archaeological mission that revealed a large collection of pottery vessels, coins, and pottery lamps. For example, an important cemetery dating back to the end of the Roman period was discovered[2] . In 2021, the third excavation season revealed a number of immovable and movable archaeology[3]. Accordingly, this paper discusses the results of these excavations associated with the naming of this hill, its location, its nature, and the immovable and movable effects that were revealed in it, as the Permanent Committee for Egyptian Antiquities agreed to that publication in its session on 8/24/2021.
