“…Area 4 is a part of the tell closest to the modern settlement and is immediately endangered by present occupancy; in fact, local inhabitants have reclaimed a plot of land directly adjacent to the Migdol tower from the north. Yet, it is of considerable significance for understanding the archaeological stratigraphic situation of the site as demonstrated by excavations in 2011 (Rzepka, Hudec, Wodzińska et al 2014: 55-64;Rzepka, Hudec, Jarmużek et al 2014: 87-93) and 2015 (Rzepka et al 2016). The results indicated more or less undisturbed stratified remains from the early Eighteenth Dynasty and the Second Intermediate Period.…”

Excavations of the Polish-Slovak Archaeological Mission in Tell el-Retaba in 2016 were continued in the western part of the site, uncovering remains of domestic and funerary structures from the Second Intermediate Period in Area 4. Houses from the first half of the Eighteenth Dynasty were also investigated in this area. In Area 9, several houses from the Third Intermediate Period were explored and, for the first time, also substantial remains of a Late Period settlement, including at least one "tower house".

Preliminary Back-Analysis of the Height of Mud Brick Fortifications Based on Geoarchaeological Data at Tell El-Retaba Site in Egypt

et al. 2017

The Tell el-Retaba archaeological site is located at Wadi Tumilat, a shallow valley running from the Nile Delta to the Bitter Lakes. In ancient times, a route connecting Egypt with Syria-Palestine ran across the site. In the 13 th century BC, during the rule of Ramesses II, a fortress surrounded by "Wall 1" was erected and in times of Ramesses III in the 12 th century BC, a larger fortress surrounded by "Wall 2" and "Wall 3" was constructed. Using the finite element method (FEM) and ZSoil 2D&3D software, the wall heights were modelled and their soil-structure interaction was analysed. Strength of the wall depended on size and strength of bricks and mortar, brickwork, wall shape and foundation. Ancient builders using mud bricks must have known from practical experience the essentials of a wall construction, in which the height to width ratio was at 1.75 to 1.85. Moreover, they must have related the engineering properties of the material with the height of the construction and its purpose. The width to height ratio must have been used and related by ancient Egyptians to the ground resistance. Modelling has shown that, at wall width of 5 m, the foundation would have lost its stability at wall height of 13-14 m and bricks from the lower part of the wall would be destroyed. According to the undertaken assumptions, in order to retain stability, the wall height must have been limited to about 8-9 m.
