paign, from September 4 to October 26, of rescue excavations. The work was sponsored by the
Polish Center of Archaeology of Warsaw Universityd>
The fieldwork proceeded in the southwestern part of the Ptolemaic district that abuts on
the south side of the Moslem funerary monument erected on Kom Sidi Yusuf The objective
was to explore two squares, each 10 x 10 m (KKK and LLL), continuing the previous
research {squares HHH and MMM) in an effort to close the rectangular plan of the area of
excavations begun by the Polish-Egyptian mission in 1986.
The team, directed by Dr. Hanna Szymanska, comprised Mr. Krzysztof Babraj, Ms Anna Poludnikiewicz, Ms Teresa
Witkowska, Mrs. Joanna Szczepkowska, archaeologists; Mrs. Katarzyna Danska-Bialostocka and Ms Aleksandra Czarnocka,

Mouthameda Bakr Abdoul Rahman, Mr. Ali Shehata Elsayed Gad, Mr. Awny Mokhtar Hasan and Mr. Emad Abdoul Azeem
Emam.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Prof. Dr. Gaballa Ali Gaballa, Secretary General of Egypt's Supreme
Council of Antiquities for his help and to Dr. Mohammed El Saghir, Director of the Department of Egyptian Antiquities.
We should also like to thank Mrs. Mouthameda Bakr Abdoul Rahman, Director of the SCA Benha office, for her inestimable
