The excavations confirmed occupancy evidenced based on the discovered material, which were unearthed after more than 28 centuries.

Limited excavations have confirmed evidence of prehistoric cultures.

Further excavations in the 1990s confirmed that at least 300 people had taken refuge in those chambers, while the town was almost completely evacuated.

Aerial photos and excavations later confirmed the presence of a mass grave near this location.

Archeological excavations do not confirm this date either.

These first excavations located both the north and south walls and a 15th-16th-century brick oven, confirming that it was indeed the kitchens.

Further excavations in 1995 by Hawass have confirmed that Khuit's tomb was a pyramid.

Initial excavations eventually indicated that the main access to the pyramid was on the west side, which latter excavations confirmed.

However only excavation of these graves will confirm if they contain battlefield victims or not.

Further excavations in 1968 confirmed the figure's outline and the presence of a red clay infill.
