Abstract
This study discusses the use of palynological methods in Egyptian archaeology. In particular, it presents for the first time a palynological investigation of mudbrick as a potential bearer of agricultural information in the Nile Valley. Three samples were taken from mudbricks at the Giza Pyramid Area to be analysed for their pollen content. All three samples yielded well‐preserved pollen, mainly of cereal type, and show conclusively that material obtained from mudbrick can be a valuable source of environmental information.
