Abstract
The following preliminary report provides a brief overview of the SCA excavations in the years 2010–2011 at the smaller (or northern) tell of Tell el-Yahudia. Remains of two houses of the Graeco-Roman suburb were discovered, one of which contained a private bath. In the so-called “Second rock-cut cemetery” (known since the 1980s), some additional tombs were discovered. In the Hyksos and Late Period cemetery in the gezira, 48 tombs from the Middle Kingdom, the Hyksos Period, the New Kingdom and the Late Period were cleared. 12 poor tombs (most of them for children) were discovered at a small excavation site in the south of the tell. Small finds from the cemeteries consisted mainly of pottery (including Tell el-Yahudia ware), Fayence amulets and sealings and several metal objects, as well as a few Ptolemaic coins.
