MARINA EL-ALAMEIN
CONSERVATION WORK 1996
Stanislaw Medeksza
A Polish-Egyptian Conservation Mission comprising staff
mostly from the Wrocfaw University of Technology continued in
its second season at Marina el-Alamein from February 22 until
May 31, 1996/
The object of conservation is a complex of two houses from
the Graeco-Roman period, explored in rescue excavations by
an Egyptian team directed by M. Ali Abd el-Razek, arbitrarily
designated as H9 and H9a and provisionally dated to the late 1st
and the 2nd centuries AD.1 2 The town itself was inhabited from the
2nd century BC to the early 7th century AD3 and later. Two
1 The Mission comprised Prof. Stanislaw Medeksza, director; Dr. Rafal
Czerner, Ewa Luzyniecka, and, for the first two weeks. Dr. Maciej
Malachowicz, architects; Dr. Jozef Adamowski, constructor; Miroslaw Koper
and Mieczyslaw Zygadlo, stonecutters. Dr. Grzegorz Majcherek from the
Polish-Egyptian Archaeological Mission in Alexandria worked with the team
for two days as ceramologist. The photographer was Mr. Waldemar Jerke from
the Polish Centre of Archaeology. The Egyptian side was represented by
Mr. Mohammed Ali Abd el-Razek, chief of the archaeologists and head of the
group of inspectors comprising Mess. Mahmoud Roshdy Embaby, Ahmed Abd
el-Wahab, Abd el-Hay Shahata. On behalf of the mission I would like to
express my gratitude to representatives of the SCA in Cairo and Alexandria,
especially Prof. Dr. Mohammed Abd el-Halim Nur ed-Din, SCA General
Secretary; Prof. Dr. Ali Hassan, Technical General Director; Mr. Abd el-
Halim Rizq, Western Delta General Director; Mr. Ahmed Abd el-Fatah,
Mr. Hassan Shehata and Mr. Ali Abd el-Razek, SCA directors in Alexandria.
Without their cooperation and comprehensive help in matters of organization,
it would have been impossible to complete the mission's program.
