  • This report presents the preliminary results of two periods of on-site work undertaken by the Amarna Project,1 from 1 to 22 December 2024 and from 6 April to 21 May 2025. Fieldwork in both seasons centred on housing areas in the Main City, focusing in spring 2025 on the re-excavation of the house of the vizier Nakht. A diverse programme of post-excavation work also continued. Reported on here is the study of skeletal materials, pottery, and matting from the non-elite cemeteries; relief fragments from the Maru-Aten; zooarchaeological samples from the house of Panehesy beside the Great Aten Temple; and lithics and osseous technological pieces from Amarna as a whole. Community engagement work is also presented.
