Tell el-Kuʿ (Arabic تل الكوع), also written as Tell el-Ku'a[1] and Tell el-Koa,[2] is an archaeological site in Egypt, located in the eastern Nile Delta at the Wadi Tumilat.
[3] The site exhibits burial practices of non-Egyptian origin, including donkey burials, attested at other eastern Delta sites during the period (such as Tell el-Dab'a, Tell Basta, Tell el-Yahudiya).
[3] Along with other sites at the Wadi Tumilat, Tell el-Kuʿ is considered to be involved in trade contacts between Second Intermediate Period Egypt and the Levant.
[3] Just 200 meters to the west of Tell el-Kuʿ lies another Second Intermediate Period archaeological site Tell el-Mansheya (Arabic تل المنشية) Salvage excavations conducted in 2015 revealed settlement remains and burials.
Tell el-Mansheya burials are comparable to those from other Second Intermediate Period sites at Wadi Tumilat.
