Buto, Archaeological site in Kafr el-Sheikh Governorate, Egypt
The ancient ruins of Buto span over 2,000 square meters near the village of Sekhmawy, containing multiple layers of settlement structures and artifacts.
The site served as a capital for the Kabasites during ancient Egypt and maintained significance from 4000 BCE through the Roman period.
Archaeological excavations revealed pottery workshops, residential areas, and ceremonial spaces that connected Lower and Upper Egyptian traditions during the 4th millennium BCE.
Research teams from German, French, and Egyptian institutions continue systematic explorations of the site, focusing on different historical periods and architectural elements.
The location contains Roman-period pottery workshops that implemented manufacturing techniques matching the quality standards of Italian production centers.
