Abstract

ABSTRACT Many different countries use geophysical technologies in their archaeological research. In the study area (Menofia, Egypt), we employed magnetic and ground-penetrating radar techniques. In the southern part of Egypt's northern Delta, between the Nile Rashid and Damietta branches, is the Menofia Governorate. Tal-El Bendariya was chosen as the study location since the majority of its activity ended during the Roman era. For the magnetic survey, Tal-El Bendariya was separated into three locations (sites), and one suitable site was chosen for the GPR study. Using Geoplot, Reflexw, and Surfer software, the magnetic data and GPR data were corrected processed, and interpreted to produce images that depicted the underground artifacts that were present in the area. The magnetic data at Tal-El Bendariya revealed a significant number of anomalies with a variety of unusual geometric patterns. They are interpreted to be the location of historical hearths and kilns made of firebricks as well as fragments of ancient walls made of fire and mud bricks. The findings from the GPR data, meanwhile, point to a few scattered parts of mud brick walls. It was established that the research region at Tal-El Bendariya might have been an area of an ancient pottery industry during the Roman era after integrating the magnetic and GPR results.
