An archaeological expedition operating at the Tel Koam Terogi site in Aboul Matamir, Beheira have discovered the remains of a wine press and wine storage units, surrounded by a large brick wall and a residential building adjacent to it. The wine storage units were of different sizes and were characterized by thick brick walls, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Mostafa al-Waziry said. The artifacts indicate the existence of a building belonging to the supervisor of the establishment, she said. This is illustrated by the seals printed on the hands of the amphorae discovered on the site. The various pottery artifacts included imported pottery and ivory pieces which were an indication of the economic status of the owners.
