The settlement and the tombs of the
strata c–a/1 of area F/I – stratum a
by Karin Kopetzky |

In the first part of the Hyksos period (ph. a/2) (pic.
1) a temple was constructed in this area. Traces of
the foundation walls of a temple as well as many offering
pits in front of it have been discovered [1].
The main part of the settlement of this and the following
phases have been ploughed away by intensive farming. Only
the burials, once dug in from this layer, have been preserved
(pic.
2). |

Shaft burials from a much later period
of utilisation have been uncovered in phase a/1 (pic.
3).
Most of the tombs contained one, or in rare cases, two
burials, which were laid in a lateral niche at the base
of the shaft. Based on burial goods made of iron, a dating
into the Late Period is suggested, when objects made of
this metal become more common in the Nile Delta [2]
(pic.
4). |
