Archaeological Excavations in Marea, Egypt. Campaings 2002-2003

During two campaigns 2002-2003 the Polish mission continued excavations in the complex of the 6th - early 8th century bath discovered in the two previous seasons. A well operated by a saqiyah from which water had been supplied to the bath has been cleared. A funerary chapel lying to the southwest of the bath was also entirely explored. The other objective of the excavations was the 6th century basilica, where an apse with two crypts has been unearthed. Below the apse a kiln for firing amphorae came to light. The work in the basilica will be continued.
