Open Access Monograph Series: Kom el-Nana Reports
Kom el-Nana Reports
The expedition began a rescue excavation at Kom el-Nana in the
spring of 1988 which was continued for several more years. For the 1989
and 1990 seasons the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research of
the University of Cambridge offered fieldwork grants for the project
and they were used to cover the costs of the excavation of certain
parts of the site where the buildings seemed to have been constructed as
places for ceremonies for the royal occupant(s) — the site as a whole
seems to have been set aside for Queen Nefertiti — and for the cult of
the sun. To these parts we gave the names Central Platform, North
Shrine, South Shrine, South House (later changed to South Pavilion) and
South Pylon. At the end of each of the two seasons a detailed report
was prepared for internal circulation.
Having been prepared for internal circulation only (and in a
word-processing system that is no longer available) they lack a final
editing stage and contain some inconsistencies.
As part of the research on the 4000 or so fragments of decorated
stonework which the excavations produced, Margaret Serpico reduced
their basic characteristics to a database and used this to analyse the
frequency of individual types of fragment and to survey the evidence
for the forms of architectural columns. The report was, in the first
instance, prepared for the British Academy which had supported the
analysis and is presented here in its original form.
