Report on the Western delta landscape Project, which integrates geoarchaeological, archaeological, and gIScientific methods to provide a holistic study of the settlement patterns and river channels of the Western delta, with an illustrative case study of the site of Kom el-ghuzz. a series of Nile branches west of the Canopic, not previously presented in detail, is also documented. The conceptualisation of a 'site' is discussed, as well as its implications for archaeological work in egypt.* This research was supported by an aRCe educational and Cultural affairs fellowship, a Sawiris Research fellowship, and helen Rich and Ryerson fellowships at the university of Chicago. Sincere thanks are extended to the SCa and the Permanent Committee, which in 2008 included Zahi hawass, Magdy el ghandoor, and hany abu al azim. The el gharbiya and el buheira inspectorates and their directors, 'emad al Shayb and Naa'ma Salim, were supportive, and a debt of gratitude is owed to SCa Inspectors ashraf abdulrahman, yasser Nada, and Moustafa abou hussien. Madame amira Khattab (aRCe), fatma Ragab (el gharbiya inspectorate), and faten Saleh (eeS) greatly facilitated research in egypt. Special thanks go to
