Stanisiaw Medeksza

The site of the ancient town of Marina el-Alamein — Houses H 9 and H 9a, as well as
H 10, H 10a and H 19 — was for the fifth time the object of conservation activities con-
ducted by a Polish-Egyptian expedition between March 16 and May 30, 1999

11 The mission is a joint project of the Polish Center of Archaeology of Warsaw University and Egypt's Supreme Council
for Antiquities. On the Polish side, it brings together staff from the Architecture Faculty of the Wroclaw University of
Technology, the Institute of History of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan and the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts.
Headed by Prof. Dr. Stanisiaw Medeksza, the team this year comprised the following: Dr. Rafal Czerner, architect;
Mr. Wieslaw Grzegorek, architect-constructor; Dr. Andrzej B. Biernacki, archeologist; Mr. Piotr Zambrzycki, conservator
of stone; Mr. Maciej D^browski and Ms Malgorzata Ujma, architectural painting conservators. The Egyptian side was rep-
resented by site director, Mr. Abdel Latif el-Wakil, and West Delta archaeology inspectors: Messrs. Sayed Ahmed Abdel and
Aseem Sayed Ahmed, to whom the expedition is indebted for their help every step of the way.
Mrs. Iwona Zych was of assistance in giving this report its present shape.
