1887 Tukh el-Qaramus
This large tell site (mound) was excavated by Naville's teams. In his publication of the work Naville mentions the discovery a small plaque of gold, another of porcelain, and several of carnelian, but without any inscriptions. Several pots of coarse red pottery, four mortars, four corn-rubbers, carnelian pins and 32 saucers are also mentioned. Navile notes in particular "a larg pottery vase in blue enamel, having a hieratic inscription in black burnt into the paint, and with a figure of Harmakhis... now at the Boolak Museum [now in the Egyptian Museum ]." A pair of bronze tongs are mentioned as being presented to the British Museum.
