THE POTTERY
37
but 85, 86, 88, 90 are all of the middle of the
xviiith dynasty. The beads are thus dated, 92
to 94 blue glass, 95, g6 sard, 97 blue pottery. 98
is a bronze rivet from woodwork. The pottery
99-103 is not later than Amenhotep II, and shews
the continuance of the Tahutmes III style in 100,
102, before the changes of Amenhotep III. 104 is
Syrian, and probably 102 also. 106, 107 are of
alabaster, and 108 a kohl pot of black serpentine.
The two rings with scarabs are at Liverpool.
109 is a stone vase, probably of the vith dynasty.
110-113 are of the xviiith dynasty. 114 is a
peculiarly thin vase of pale buff ware, found with
the scarab 115 and the serpentine vase 116, which
is certainly of the xviiith dynasty. 117-128 are of
the same age.
PL xxviii, 129-132 yellow and black beads and
scarab of the xixth dynasty. 133 is a scarab of
Siamen, found with a figure of Horus with double
plumes and small beads of dull green glaze, in the
southern tombs. 134 is a light-blue glazed lotus
cup, of which pieces were from the southern tombs.
I35—139 are from the burial of a child, on the east
side of the mastaba of Nefermaat: see end of
chapter vi. The eye bead 135 is white with blue
spots, a brown ring round them and a green wavy
line; next is a plain green bead, then a blue glazed
eye with lumpy black lines. 136 is of blue glaze
137 a bronze earring and a green bead, with blue
spots surrounded by goldy-brown lines and white.
These beads are well known, especially in the Delta
where they are dated to the xxiiird dynasty
(Hyksos and Israelite Cities, pi. xix). These give an
approximate date to the Bes pot 138, and the wooden
doll 139.
The pottery 140 to 164 is of the Ptolemaic or
early Roman period, and comes from a site about
two miles north of the pyramid. The piece of
a flint knife, 165, from Meydum belongs to the
iiird or ivth dynasty.
