TELL EL-BALAMUN
EGYPT
confirmed that the wall was built as separate
panels of brickwork. In the EW section of
the wall, there is a gate approximately
180 m from the south corner (in the western
part of square D7). The outer wall (from the
Thirtieth Dynasty) has been eroded away
and only the inner face of the wall was well
recorded by the survey. The magnetic map
clearly showed the older structures which
had preceded the wall, arranged along the
exterior of the Twenty-Sixth Dynasty
enclosure. Many of these buildings (e.g., in
Fig. 1. Tell el-Balamun, the great temple enclosure: wall of the Twenty-Sixth Dynasty in light
grey, of the Thirtieth Dynasty in dark grey. Area op magnetic scanning shown in
transparent gray (Prepared by T. Herbich)
