Kom el-Nana

For a long time its ruins were thought to be those of a Roman military camp, but between 1988 and 2000 Barry Kemp excavated remains of an Amarna period stone temple with garden and subsidiary buildings including a bakery and a brewery.

It consists of a brick enclosure with an area of 228×213 m; it is divided into two unequal parts by an east-west wall.

Since it stood at a very prominent place – at the southern end of the so-called Royal Road, the main street of Akhet-Aten – it's possibly identical with the sunshade temple of Nefertiti mentioned on the boundary stelae.

[2] In the northern part of the enclosure brick ovens were found, findings suggest a bakery and brewery.

Most of the northern part was overbuilt by a 5th-6th century Christian monastery that reused the original walls, so the southern part, which was not overbuilt, is better preserved; the following buildings were excavated:[2] In the southeast corner of the southern enclosure stood a group of houses in two sets, with garden plots.
