THE FIRST INTERMEDIATE CEMETERIES
and Weapons, p. 62.) The dagger (XII, 73) also
is of the XI th dynasty (ib. p. 29). The beads
well agree with a pre-XIIth date, especially the
types XII, 22, 23, and the various cylinders. The
gold disk is also characteristic. Grave 143 lies
under grave 25, of the XVIII th dynasty. This is not
conclusive, but we do not find graves of the New
Kingdom intruded in pits of the Second Inter-
mediate Period. It is possible that some other of
the burials in these groups are of the later date,
but only a very few.
17. The details are mostly given in the regist-
ers, plates IX, X; the following tombs have points
of interest.
Tomb 113. Child on left side, hand over pelvis.
Four pots in front of chest. No coffin, undisturbed.
Tomb 115. Body lying half on left side, hands
over pelvis. No sign of coffin. String of 33 graded
carnelian ball beads, with barrel centrepiece. The
barrel is of the pale carnelian found in the Old
Kingdom. One pot in north-east corner. Un-
disturbed.
Tomb 125. Two bodies, male and female, on left
side, hands down, facing west, the male to the east.
See photograph pl. VIII, 5. With them a copper pin
and a bone snuff-spoon (pl. VIII, 6).
Tomb 194. Male extended on right side. Traces
of coffin. The scarab pl. XII, 6 was at the hands.
Undisturbed.
Tomb 195. Two bodies, both female, extended on
their left sides. The one to the east had a scarab
and a plaque at the neck XII, 1, 2, with a bead
or two and the debased sacred eye, XII, 9. The
design of the scarab is a cross between the maze
pattern and the lotus with scrolls of X—-XI th dyn-
asty date: the plaque is more like XIth dynasty
work: while the eye is dated at Qau to the
IX—Xth dynasties. Undisturbed.
Tomb 197. Body on left side: seven blue glaze
ring beads at neck.
Tomb 300. Coffin measures 71X11 inches. Beads
at neck. Undisturbed.
Tomb 306. Female in an attitude often found at
Qau in the IXth dynasty. Traces of coffin. Matting
round body. Blue glaze beads of type 53 round
right fore-arm, and of type 60 round left wrist.
Hemispherical bowl on chest. Undisturbed.
Tomb 307. Supine extended female, with mirror
(pl. XII, 68) on chest, and a long necklace of hollow
gold beads, 50, with the disk 55 in the centre.
Undisturbed. Probably XI th dynasty.
Tomb 328. Child of about 12 years, supine extend-
ed, beads at neck, pot in N. E. corner. Undis-
turbed.
Tomb 333. Same attitude as 306. Undisturbed.
Tomb 356. Female on left side, hands over
pelvis. Shell beads, on each wrist: on the left also
the amulet pl. XII, 70 of two standing lions, face
to face. This may be compared with the Twins
amulet found at Qau, of VIII th dynasty. Un-
disturbed.
Tomb 371. Female on left side, hands at pelvis,
in wooden coffin, not disturbed. On left hand the
plaque with circles (pl. XII, 3): on the left wrist the
scarab (pl. XII, 4) of lazuli, with beads (pl. XII, 71).
At the right wrist the beads specified in the second
line of the register pl. X, at the neck, green glaze
shell beads alternately, with a green jasper barrel
(24) in centre. Similar plaques with circles, dated
to XIth dynasty, have been found at Qau: and
the design of the scarab would agree.
Tomb 395. A young male, supine extended,
wrapped, in wooden coffin plastered within. East of
feet, the dagger pl. XII, 73, apparently in a leather
lined copper sheath. Traces of a wooden hilt re-
mained. At the neck a string of gold-plated beads
with a few blue glaze cylinders, and some scraps
of silver plating (centre-piece?). The occurrence of
beads with a male is unusual. One pot with a pot-
mark pl. XII, 72. Undisturbed.
Tomb 502 disturbed. A female, supine extended,
hands on pelvis. One pot pl. XII, 11. There were
a number of beads of gold plate, lazuli, carnelian,
and green jasper, partly arranged as pl. XII, 67;
also strings of gold and carnelian ball beads.
Tomb 503. Probably undisturbed; beads at neck.
Tomb 505. Same attitude as 306. Undisturbed.
Tomb 507. Young male, extended on right side.
One pot E. of head. Scarab pl. XII, 7 on left hand.
Hands over pelvis. Body, which was not disturbed,
lay on ash.
Tomb 510. The pot pl. XI, 18 is probably proto-
dynastic; and, as it is not complete, its presence is
best explained as an accidental intrusion with the
filling of the tomb, which was not disturbed. The
frequent occurence of charcoal in the graves, and
even possibly the ash in some cases, may be due
to the graves being dug in an older settlement site.
