Abstract
The Archaeological Section of the Survey of Memphis continued with its excavation at Kôm Rabî'a, intended to shed light on the movement of the River Nile and the development of the ‘early’ town. It also continued with resistivity-meter survey, and with the project of drill core sampling designed to investigate the underlying geological composition. The Epigraphic Section in 1987 began a complete survey of the neglected West Gate of the great Ptah Enclosure, with a view to copying and recording the mass of inscribed material there. In an effort to bring these interim reports more up to date, the work of two successive seasons is here presented in the one report.
