Kom-el-Gir
Kom-el-Gir is an archaeological site in the Western Delta of modern Egypt. The site lies about 5 km nort-east of the ancient town Buto and is about 20 hectare large. The town is so far little researched. A geophysical survey, test excavations and drill borings have provided some information. There are two big enclosures, one perhaps for a temple and another one for a late Roman military camp. The overall plan of the settlement seems to follow a grid pattern. Pottery found on the surface dates mostly from the fourth to seventh century AD.[1]
