The Christian community at Kellis was served by three churches: two are located in the south-east of the village overlooking the wadi; the third is in the north-west (Figure 1). The Small East Church is a modest, two-roomed domus ecclesiae, a pre-existing structure that had been modified for Christian use. It is located within a substantial enclosure, which is a feature of other public buildings at Kellis. This structure was presumably the earliest church in the village (Bowen 2003a, 162–3). The West Church was built on the periphery of the village, to the immediate west of two monumental stone tombs (West Tombs 1 and 2). It is a small two-roomed church with a seven-room complex to its south. The church and its suite of rooms were conceived and built as a single entity. A large mud-brick enclosure (Enclosure 4) was built contemporaneously with the church complex; the latter was built into the north-western section of the enclosure. This effectively brought the church complex and the...

At the Sixth International Dakhleh Oasis Project Conference, I presented an overview of the excavations carried out at Dayr Abu Matta in the 2007/8 and 2009 field seasons.1 Since that time, two further seasons of excavation have been undertaken at the site and I take this opportunity to include the results of that work as well as providing an introduction to the site. This report is arranged by structure rather than excavation seasons.2 Dayr Abu Matta is located in western Dakhleh, on a low mound just off the Mut/Qasr road 2.5 kilometres north-west of Rashda. Structures at the site include a triconch church, large buildings resembling a tower to its west and a series of buildings to its north; walls are also visible to the south of the church and the west buildings but there is no evidence of any structures on the east (Figure 1). The extent of the settlement cannot be determined as the site is surrounded by cultivation, which is gradually encroaching upon the ancient buildings. Day...

The possibilities offered by Virtual Archaeology generated a great deal of enthusiasm during the 1990s despite limitations of the technology. Today, with advances in computer graphics and processing power, 3D applications are increasingly used in furthering the documentation, conservation and preservation of ancient heritage. This paper examines the digital reconstruction of Ismant el-Kharab, ancient Kellis, Egypt based upon data from excavations carried out by Dr Colin Hope and Dr Gillian Bowen, Centre for Archaeology & Ancient History, Monash University. Presently ancient Kellis exists principally in data not immediately interpretable to the general public. In line with the growing emphasis on Virtual Heritage, comprehensive three-dimensional (3D) visualisations can signifi cantly advance the awareness of historical sites normally inaccessible due to their location or fragile condition. Visualisations stretching across time and space can provide the possibility of visiting places ...
