Histoire
Tell el-Kuʿ, also written as Tell el-Ku'a and Tell el-Koa, is an archaeological site in Egypt, located in the eastern Nile Delta at the Wadi Tumilat. The excavated areas of the site were used at different times as a cemetery and a settlement. The finds from the site date mostly from the Second Intermediate Period, encompassing the period from the late Middle Kingdom to the early New Kingdom. The site exhibits burial practices of non-Egyptian origin, including donkey burials, attested at other eastern Delta sites during the period. The settlement architecture is comparable to that of the nearby site Tell el-Maskhuta. Along with other sites at the Wadi Tumilat, Tell el-Kuʿ is considered to be involved in trade contacts between Second Intermediate Period Egypt and the Levant.
