The excavated area of EOG runs along the east side of the galleries. There is clear evidence of faience production and large quantities of broken ceramic sherds, indicating it was an area used for industry and waste dumping. It also contained a large number of pedestals¹³ and bakeries.¹⁴ The area encompasses a number of other area codes, including BBHT(S) (see above) and the Faience Area—both smaller discrete areas in which more focused investigations took place. The Faience Area (FA) was identified as an area of faience production in 2004, within a backhoe trench cut into EOG after the initial season of excavation in that area. It runs beneath the Hypostyle Hall, and thus probably pre-dates the gallery complex.¹⁵
