A room of a mud brick house full of sand with a painted wall peeking through

Mudbrick vault block on the sand showing white plaster ceiling on one side

One mudbrick vault block with white plaster ceiling showing finger grooves on the side to improve adherence

And architectural plan of a building

The end of 2nd week of excavation; making good progress at B10 removing the collapsed vaults in Rms 5-6 and getting to the occupational levels in Rms 2, 7, 8, 9. We have our work cut out for us consolidating and conserving the painted plaster walls. #amheida2026 #dakhkaoasis #romanegypt
