TOMB TYPES OF DYNASTY I, FIRST PART (MENES TO ZET)

55

The total number of graves is 34; most of them had been blocked with broken fragments of lime-
stone, not quarried slabs. The pottery, the stone vessels, the slate palettes, and other small objects
belong to the group of Dyn. O-I. There were no well-worked flints, only flint flakes, in the graves.
In at least one case the blocking was of c.b., set leaning on end (as the stones). The date is probably
early Dyn. I.
