Description
Excerpt from Excavations at Tell El-Amarna, Egypt, in 1913-1914
The appearance Of the excavations in the Wadi differs from that in the rest Of the city area. Elsewhere the house ruins appear as ?at, desert hills where the still remaining upper rows Of masonry are brought to light with the first stroke of the pick. In the Wadi a layer of sand or pebble, to 1 meter deep, must first be removed before the upper parts of the walls, meter or more in height, ap pear. The débris between the walls is here also more compact, due to alluviation and not merely to the rubbish from the upper build Ings.
