摘要：Determination of rocks discovered at archaeological sites help to understand the routes of transport and contact between human groups. Most of important various rocks sources are well-known in Egypt (Butzer 1960, 1976, Said 1962, Afia 1988, De Vitt, Pawlikowski 1988). But discussion concerns rare raw materials such as, for example, various types of metamorphic rocks (serpentinites, slides, etc.). Site Tel el Farcha is rich. A great deal of stony objects was discovered within its archaeological layers. Most of them are damaged, but small fragments are sufficient to determine petrographic characteristics of those rocks. Generally, one can distinguish magmatic, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Each of the mentioned groups is characterized below.
