The vessels represent a very unusual example of this functional type and have no exact parallel in ancient Egyptian funerary art. However, their exceptional character is only one illustration of the great variety of appearances that canopic vases assumed throughout their history. The single-line inscription found on one of the containers discussed here is evocative of the Middle Kingdom; by their material and shape, they hark back to New, Middle and even Old Kingdom specimens. However, the way they were used, or rather not used, as they were left empty, clearly places them in the Third Intermediate or Late Period. when the viscera were no longer kept separate from the body. The archaising character of this canopic set may reflect a cultural tendency that became manifest at the time of the 25 th-26 th Dynasties, in which ancient traditional aesthetic forms were revived in all spheres of material and visual culture .

The main goals of this season included localisation of the shipwreck of French transport vessel ‘Le Patriote’ (1798) shipwrecked at the entrance to the West port of Alexandria and continuation of the reconnaissance of the second line of the submerged reefs situated at a distance of 1 kilometer from the shoreline looking for potential vestiges of ancient navigation.

A concession assigned to the CES RAS by the Supreme Council for Antiquities of Egypt includes a vast water area of around 80 km2. A part of it is occupied by the modern Western port of Alexandria but the remaining area (c. 30 km2, its depth is up to 40 m) contains numerous traces of submerged port structures and ancient navigation. The work was concentrated at two zones — at the regions of Anfushi and Agami capes. The remains of a massive breakwater, numerous ancient anchors and a cargo of a Hellenistic shipwreck dating from the middle of the 4th–2nd centuries BC were discovered here. In addition, the remains of a shipwreck of the late 18th century (French transport ship 'Le Patriote') were examined, including a sea gun and numerous firearms. The most promising directions of future activities of the C...

Their presence is a tangible testament to the international trade carried out throughout the eastern Mediterranean during this period. Those found at Piramesses/Qantir are particularly important as they represent what was acquired by the royal court in the Nineteenth Dynasty. A petrographic study aimed to clarify the origin of the LBA Canaanite jars and some other imports at Qantir based on a fabric classification system. Examining the prevalence of fabrics from two contexts at the site suggests those areas that were likely key exporters, but also indicates other minor producers may have been involved.
