British Museum Expedition to Kom Firin
Kom Firin is a large, 47 hectare, settlement site near the western edges of the Nile Delta in Egypt, occupied between the 13th century BC and the 7th century AD.
The British Museum commenced archaeological fieldwork at Kom Firin in 2002, with the permission of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt. Following a magnetometry survey in 2003 and 2004, excavations have focused on the Ramesside temple, the walled complex surrounding it, and the dense Saite occupation levels in the Citadel.
