DESCRIPTION OF PLATES.
remaining photograph shows some miscellaneous flints
of paleolithic character found near the tomb (i : 4).
P. 18.
PL. XVI. shows the types of copper tools and
implements from the tomb of Neter-Khet in diagram
outline to a scale of 1:2. The dots indicate a
sharpened or cutting edge. P. 18.
PL. XVII. Tomb of Hen-Nekht. Architectural
features. Six photographs illustrating the external
and internal construction, including two views of
superstructure, showing steps of the Mastaba (p. 11).
Corner of descending passage (p. n) and external
chamber attached to the south end of the Mastaba,
with deposit of pottery (p. n), and two views of drop-
stone door in position at foot of descent to chambers
(pp. 11, 16). Pp. 11, 12.
PL. XVIII. Tomb of Hen-Nekht (Sa-Nekht),
K 2. Plan and sections. In the plan the position of
the underground chambers is indicated by a white
line on the black which denotes the superstructure.
The sections show also the positions of the various
openings, &c, along and near the section line.
Pp. 11, 12.
Pl. XIX. shows in enlarged form the impressions
of seals rolled on the mud caps of jars from the tomb
K 2. No. 5 shows the restoration (to double seals) of
the fragments 1 to 4, from which is derived the name
of this king Sa-Nekht (Professor Sethe, p. 24) or
Hen Nekht (as read during excavation, p. 11).
Pp. 24-26.
Pl. XX. The skull of Hen-Nekht, four views
(p. 13). Photographs of stone bowls from the tomb
(pp. 12, 17), ;'and a copper vessel (p. 17) and flint

Pl. XXI. The outlines and sections of types of
stone bowls from tomb K 2, produced as before to a
scale of 1 : 3. Nos. 10, 12, 13, 14, present features
found less commonly or not at all in the other tombs
of the site. P. 17.
PL. XXII. There are here figured the outlines
and sections of thirteen selected " model" vases of
alabaster. These were for the most part of rude
surface and form, and not finished inside. Excava-
tion both at this site and in the neighbouring necro-
polis of Reqaqnah and in other sites of this period
(see, for instance, ' El Kab,' Quibell), has shown that
these vases are characteristic. The number found in
the tomb of Neter-Khet was great, being in all eight
or nine hundred (p. 10), while the number from the
other tombs was almost proportionate (p. 17).
PL. XXIII. shows the outlines of various imple-
ments and fittings of copper from the tombs K 2, K 4,
K5. P. 18.
Pl. XXIV. illustrates by photograph architectural
features of the tombs K 3, the stairway, of K 4, the long
descending passage, and of K 5, the stairway covered
by false arch (pp. 14-16). There are also figured
some of the vases of hard stone and alabaster (p. 17),
and the flint and copper implements from tombs K 4,
K5(p. 18).
Pl. XXV Plans and sections of the tombs K 3,
K 4, K 5 (pp. 15, 16). The scale of K 4 is twice that
of the other tombs.
Pl. XXVI. Sealings from the tombs K 3, K4,
K 5 (pp. 26, 27). Three fragments are from tomb
K 3, one only from K 4, and the remainder, including
the more perfect impressions, 7 and 8, are from the
tomb of the Ha Prince Nezm-Ankh.
PL. XXVII. shows in outline and section the
various and varied types of vases found in the tombs
K3, K4, Ks (pp. 15, 17).
Pl. XXVIII. The cursive ink-written inscrip-
tions and pot marks, from the tombs of the Illrd
Dynasty at Bet Khallaf. P. 27.
PL. XXIX. shows in outline and section the
forms of alabaster tables of offerings from the five
tombs. P. 17.
PLS. XXX., XXXI. Pottery types of the Illrd
Dynasty. In this series is included a representation
of each variety of pottery observed, in some cases in
fragmentary condition, during the excavation. With
the exception of type Nos. 21-26, the variations of
each type within a certain limit are not illustrated.
The numbers of the tomb from which the type figured
is taken, is in each case written at the bottom ; and
to some examples a few initial letters, explained
under the title, tell of the nature and condition of the
ware.
PL. XXXII. El Mahasna. Burials, pottery, &c.
The previous plates have dealt with the predynastic
and proto-dynastic periods. The remainder, from
XXXII. to XLIIL, illustrate the excavation of a
Vlth-XIth Dynasty necropolis. Two contracted
burials of Vlth-VIIIth Dynasty, M 51 (pp. 31, 32),
M 501 (p. 32). Stone tables, M 336, and jamb, M 41
(p. 33). Pottery from tombs M 349, 432 and 104, of

(facsimile), M 336 (p. 33). Plan of tombs, M 1, M 2
(p. 28). Inscriptions, M 336, M 41 (p. 33).
