A team from the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology of the University of Warsaw undertook the third and fourth campaign of excavations on the site of the theater at Tell Farama (ancient Pelusium). The goal was to complete the investigations of the theater and underlying structures; consequently, the foundations and related deposits of these earlier buildings were studied during the short spring season. The first stage of work on the preservation, restoration and limited reconstruction of the Roman theater proceeded in the summer season. The outline of the stage building was marked out with a single course of red bricks, introducing corrections to the original reconstruction project wherever necessary in order to give future visitors a better understanding of the architecture. A contour map of the area under investigation, theater included, was accomplished in the summer season. Testing began in other parts of the ancient town (sectors 1 and 2). The most important find in the second sector was a fragmentary Late Roman mosaic floor.
