Cemetery 90.—On two or more alluvial mounds to the north of
Kuri fort were patches of early dynastic and New Empire graves.
These, however, had been examined by Prof. J. Garstang in 1900, and
are now filled with blown sand. One New Empire and one archaic
grave which had been overlooked served to indicate the general
character of the remainder.
Cemetery 91. — Late predynastic to early dynastic periods in
alluvium to the north-west of Kuri fort. The cemetery had been
examined by the same Expedition as Cemetery 90, but a few graves
had been overlooked.
Cemetery 92: East bank.—Large X-group cemetery in the
village of Aman Daiid * dug in strata of gravel and ancient alluvium.
The X-group graves, which were all of the pit and side chamber type
(axis of grave local north and south, chamber local west), had been
intruded on a late predynastic or early dynastic cemetery, and many
objects belonging to the earlier burials had found their way into the
fillings of the X-group graves. One plundered New Empire grave at
the north end of the cemetery contained a large steatite scarab,
engraved with a figure and animals, and a green-glazed scarab of
Thothmes III.
