The chronological development of Cemetery 101 appears to have
been from south to north, the later circular C-group graves being dug
at various points after the sand had accumulated for many years. It
is to these later graves that the term " pan-graves " has been applied.
Egyptian influence may account for the northward orientation
of the late C-group graves and for the increase of kiln-baked pottery
(Classes VI, IX), but as yet no type of grave has been met with which
can be described as transitional between the C-group and the New
Empire. Such Nubian funerary customs and culture as may have
survived the great military expeditions of the Twelfth Dynasty dis-
appear so completely at the beginning of the New Empire as to suggest
that no process of fusion or transition was possible between them and
the conventional and less primitive system of Egypt.
Classification of the C-group pottery of Cemetery 101.
Scale as 1 : 10.
Class I. Bowls. Ked-polished black-topped ware, interior of vessel
black and highly polished.
Class la. Bowls. Similar, with an ornament around the brim consist-
ing of two or more rows of small triangular impressions.
Interior of vessel black, generally unpolished.
