KADERO
PRELIMINARY REPORT, 2003
Lech Krzyzaniak

The excavations at Kadero were continued in 2003, between November 13 and December 2,T
the season being cut short by an archaeological reconnaissance in the region of the Fourth
Cataract scheduled to run immediately afterwards and engaging most of the Kadero team.
The goal was to explore the western part of a midden linked with the southern
settlement,2'1 placing special emphasis on the stratigraphy in this part and the accumulated
material, the botanical and animal remains in particular. A trench 20 by 2 m was traced
in the southern part of the mound (Fig. 1) and excavated by individual squares of 2 by 2 m
(nos. 1000-1009) to a depth of 1.0 m.
1) The field party comprised Prof. Dr. Lech Krzyzaniak, director and archaeologist; Prof. Dr. Michal Kobusiewicz,
archaeologist; Prof. Dr. Wojciech Stankowski, geomorphologist; Messrs. Przemyslaw Bobrowski and Maciej Jordeczka,
archaeologists. The National Corporation of Antiquities and Museums was represented at the site by Ms Khuda Magzoub.
This report was collated from a rough draft that Prof. Krzyzaniak prepared but did not revise before his untimely death in
July 2004.
