The paper describes the latest results of geographic and geophysical investigations at the site of Tell Basta, the ancient city Bubastis, in the south-eastern Nile Delta. Given the obvious impact of the local geomorphology and hydrogeography on the evolution of the city, the addition of such methods to the ongoing archaeological studies at the site is all the more important. Special emphasis lies on the analysis of remote sensing imagery and historic cartographic information, provided by the maps of early travellers in order to generate information about the northwestern part of the tell which is nowadays completely overbuild and not accessible anymore for further archaeological research.
