precedes new art, as it likewise did in the
XVIIIth Dynasty, which opened on the almost
unaltered style of the Xllth. That such a
change should take place entirely within one
short dynasty is in accord with the great
difference in work between the coffins of the
earlier and later Antefs.
Before leaving the early tombs we should
name a peculiar burial. Some way to the west
of the Antefa mastaba was a heap of flints
piled loosely together, perhaps twenty feet
across and five feet high. We cut through it,
but found nothing down to the undisturbed
soil. A cross cut showed nothing;; but seeing; a
hollow just at one edge of our cutting I traced
it, and found a long grave quite out of the
centre. In it had been a coffin, with the body
of a young woman fall length, head west, face
north, hands at sides. Outside the coffin, at the
head, were two vases of Xllth Dynasty, one
white, one red. On the feet was a small mirror
(pi. xx.), under the chin a kohl-pot, on the left
wrist a string of small garnet and silver beads,
and a thread of silver beads linking on a small
scarab in a silver mounting. A spiral of silver
and two beads were at the left ear. The
scarabs, and a little jasper shell, are shown in
pi. xx. The interest of this grave is that it shows
how burials are to be looked for under flint
tumuli, and at what age such were made. The
great flint tumuli at Naqada, which I fruitlessly
cut through, may probably yet conceal some such
burial, which could hardly be found without
removing the whole mass.
