This is the third in a series of final reports on the British Museum's excavations at Tell el-Balamun in the Nile Delta of Egypt. The exploration of the sacred area of the ancient city, continued from earlier seasons, has been concentrated since 1999 on the Ramesside enclosure wall of the temple of Amun. The surviving portions of this enclosure, the earliest temple architecture so far discovered at the site, are described in full. The volume also includes a full report on additional tombs in the elite cemetery of the Twenty-second Dynasty, discovered close to the front of the temple. The burials in these tombs were those of persons of high status, distinguished both by the location of their tombs and by their use of falcon-mask coffins, a rare feature which links them with the royal family of the Twenty-second Dynasty.
