Fayum basin showing locations mentioned in text and the extent of the Worldview-2 DSM.
Figure 2
Early to Mid-Holocene models of lake level fluctuations (m asl) for Lake Qarun. Lake level changes from Wendorf and Schild (1976) and Hassan (1986). RC indicates a date from a radiocarbon determination. Relative indicates an age estimated from a stratified sample. Modified from Phillips 2013, figure 5.7.
Figure 3
Fayum north shore 10 m, 18 m, 20 m, and 24 m contours from DSM 1 m data. Proposed lake advances above 10 m submerge the four sites indicated.
Figure 4
The wadis, basins and Neolithic lake edge (18 m asl) identified by Caton-Thompson and Gardner (1934).
