At the Western Kom, new architectural remains were discovered. Analyses of tools used to stone vessels production, as well as animal remains suggest that the area, also in the Proto-Dynastic period, was connected with a local elite. At the Central Kom, relicts of a Lower Egyptian settlement, evidently divided into different zones, were recognized. There, the most valuable artefacts connected with this culture were found, many of them imported from the south. It is evident that the contacts between the Delta and Upper Egypt must have been far more developed than it had been previously suggested. At the Eastern Kom, 48 graves were excavated. They are dated to a period from Naqada IIIB to the Old Kingdom and represent three distinct cemeteries. Undoubtedly, some of them were freestanding mastabas from the Proto-Dynastic period. In other graves, a few new serekhs of the kings of Dynasty 0 were discovered}, type={Text}, title={Polish excavations at Tell el-Farkha (Ghazala) in the Nile delta : preliminary report 2008-2010}, keywords={Predynastic-Old Kingdom periods -- Egypt, reports of archaeological works -- Egypt, ancient Egypt cemeteries, ancient Egypt grave goods, Tell el-Farkha (Egypt)}, }
