AKHDAR, K. el-  [259]



 
 
 
Visited by Penny Wilson for EES in 2002. A large mound in the lake, of narrow, rectangular shape. Surface sandy and covered with vegetation in places, and rises to a series of connected low mounds n the centre. These seem to contain buildings of sandy mud-bricks. Surface pottery included parts of amphorae, with some imported orange fabrics with a cream/olive slip and a few red slipped and polished fine wares. Also glass fragments and pieces of fired brick. Some illicit digging noted: a circular pottery storage bin had been cleared and broken up. The site is used for agricultural purposes: grazing cattle and limited cultivation.
