The exploration of Tell Belim, 1999-2002

The site of Tell Belim in the northern part of the Sharqiya Governorate was one of the less familiar Lower Egyptian sites to have been subject to investigation by the Society's Delta Survey. This article describes the EES survey of the site, carried out in September 2000, and the subsequent excavation of the temple area by The British Museum in the spring of 2002. Although almost completely destroyed, a temple of the Twenty-sixth Dynasty has been identified, within an enclosure of mud-brick.
