Abstract

Measurements of the magnitude of the archaeomagnetic field in Egypt using sun-dried adobe bricks are presented. Some results from fired materials are also presented and compared with those from the bricks. The results suggest that the magnetic field in Egypt has fluctuated quite rapidly over 3000 yr. These fluctuations are compared with those obtained by other authors and with records from observatory data. These results demonstrate the necessity of using archaeological material that can be reliably well-dated.
