Ancient Egyptian Pottery Workshop Practices Revealed Working under the authority of the Ministry, a team of researchers led by Fayoum University archaeologist Dr. Ibrahim Sobhi uncovered the largely intact workshop while performing excavations at the Tell Kon Aziza site near the village of Abu Hummus in  northern Egypt .  This site is located approximately 32 miles (50 kilometers) southeast of  Alexandria, and 105 miles (169 kilometers) north of Cairo. Indications are that settlements existed at this site dating well back into antiquity. Consequently, Ministry archaeologists have been eager to learn more about Tell Kon Aziza’s diverse and complex history. The team was not surprised to find evidence of Graeco-Roman era  pottery making . But they were delighted to discover a full pottery workshop that had been so perfectly preserved, virtually in its entirety.
