This is the first volume reporting on the eight full seasons of excavations carried out at the site of Old Cairo by the American Research Center in Egypt. Fustat will prove to be a most important site for understanding the social structure of large medieval cities in the Middle East. Included in this report is a complete publication of the filters, which collates previously published data and provides updating and greater precision to the dates assigned previously to the excavated artifacts.

The Egyptian National Library (Dab al-Kutub al-Misraya) contains a vast treasury of medieval manuscripts still largely untapped by modern scholarship. Among these are some 2,500 manuscripts relating to the exact sciences, mathematics, and astonomy, which constitute the largest single collection of medieval scientific manuscripts in the world.

Egyptologists have often neglected important sites in the Delta, and in the case of the tomb of Hsw (located at the ancient site of Naukratis), the neglect is particularly glaring since the tomb was first recorded by Egyptologists in 1910 but never studied or analyzed. This is the largest and most significant of the monuments of the Pharaonic Period at Naukratis, and its study yields important critical material on the First Intermediate Period and the Middle Kingdom. A careful analysis of the tomb provides local variations of Coffin Texts, formulaic inscriptions, and iconographic details.
