Deir el-Ballas: Preliminary Report on the Deir el-Ballas Expedition 2017-2021

This preliminary report covers the results of four seasons of survey and limited excavation undertaken at the site of Deir el-Ballas in Upper Egypt by the Ancient Egyptian Heritage and Archaeology Fund, from 2017 to 2021. In addition to site protection and restoration the expedition also is undertaking the publication of the original excavations of the site carried out by George A. Reisner and the University of California’s Hearst Egyptian Expedition in 1900-1901. In addition to Reisner’s original fieldwork at the site, new investigations of the site were undertaken by the author in the 1980’s under the auspices of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the American Research Center in Egypt.
