SURVEY, 2006
Tomasz Herbich, A. Jeffrey Spencer

The geophysical survey at Tell el-Balamun, aimed at generating a complete magnetic map of
the temple precinct (c. 22 ha), is a joint project of the British Museum and the Polish Centre
of Mediterranean Archaeology, undertaken in 2003 (Herbich, Spencer 2007). It is directed
by Tomasz Herbich, who is assisted in the work by Dawid Switch. Archaeological testing of
the structures mapped by the survey is carried out by the British Museum team excavating
Tell el-Balamun, headed by Jeffrey Spencer with the assistance of Patricia Spencer.1

1 One of the instruments was provided by the Programma de Estudios de Egiptologia (Consejo Nacional de
Investigationes Cientificas y Tecnicas, Buenos Aires) on the grounds of a co-operation agreement with the Polish Centre
of Mediterranean Archaeology of the University of Warsaw.
