DALL'EGITTO SULLA VIA DELL'ORIENTE: LE CAMPAGNE DI SCAVO A TELL EL-MASKHUTA LUNGO LO WADI TUMILAT

Tell el-Maskhuta is a key site in the eastern Egyptian Delta, located along the Wadi Tumilat, which is one of the oldest communication routes with the East. Although the site has been inves-tigated several times in the past, there are still uncertainties regarding its chronology and its most imposing structure, a large rectangular fortress, with a further internal division. Considering its strategic importance, the CNR's Multidisciplinary Egyptological Mission, led by G. Capriotti Vittozzi, has been carrying out new archaeological investigations at Tell el-Maskhuta since 2015.
