flag Egypt uncovers ancient fish-processing and craft workshops in the Nile Delta, revealing trade and daily life from 5th-century BC.

flag Egypt has discovered ancient industrial workshops in Beheira governorate, north of Cairo, dating to the Late Period and early Ptolemaic era. flag A joint Egyptian-Italian team found a large building with at least six rooms at Kom Al-Ahmar and Kom Wassit, including two used for fish processing—evidenced by nearly 9,700 fish bones—suggesting a major salted fish industry. flag Other rooms likely produced metal and stone tools and faience amulets, based on unfinished statues and manufacturing debris. flag Imported amphorae and Greek pottery fragments date the site to the 5th century BC. flag The discovery also includes part of a Roman-era cemetery with varied burial practices, offering new insights into daily life, trade, and settlement patterns in the western Nile Delta and near Alexandria.
