The chronology of the Nubian archaeology cannot, however, be
satisfactorily constructed on such cases alone, but must be considered
as a whole by the classification of types of graves, burials and funerary
accompaniments into homogeneous groups, and by the comparison of
these groups with one another and with the corresponding Egyptian
groups. General conditions, such as underlie the great archaeological
groups, will yield not an isolated fact or two, but recurrent facts
indisputable in their interpretation. In the present case, the occur-
rence of white-filled incised pottery in an archaeological group which
appears itself to be perfectly well denned and distinct from all other
known groups, is an interesting and not an altogether surprising
survival; but it does not affect the chronological position of other
archaeological groups.
