Between March 4 and 6, reconnoitring gangs were sent out, and exa-
mined both banks as far as Kertassi. On the 7th, the workmen's
camp was moved to Sekuti, north of Kertassi, from which point they
worked Cemetery No. 50 on the east bank at Metadul and examined all
possible sites on the east bank as far as Gudhi. They also excavated
several small plundered cemeteries,—Cemetery No. 51 at Metatod,
No. 52 at Sekuti and No. 53 at Kertassi,—and they examined the
west bank as far as Ginari. On March 10, they shifted camp to
Ginari, where they had discovered a cemetery, No. 55, with well-
preserved superstructures.
On March 13, our camp was shifted to Metadul, from which point
Cemeteries Nos. 50 to 52 were recorded. On March 17, our camp
was shifted to Ginari. On March 29, the expedition returned to
Shellal, and the work of the season was at an end.
The recording by photography has been carried on by the native The work of
staff under my supervision. The tomb cards have been prepared
by Mr. C. M. Firth, Mr. A. M. Blackman, and myself. Mr. 0. Bates
assisted in the recording during March. The topographical maps
(1 : 2,500) and the detail maps (1 : 100) were made by Mr. T. I). Scott
