Seele in a concession that extended from the Abu Simbel temples to the Sudan frontier in two seasons, 1962-63 and 1963-64. It presents, in detail, Cemetery L at Qustul, which is a small cemetery containing unusually large and wealthy tombs of A-Group. The tombs, badly plundered and fire damaged, contained pharaonic images on A-Group objects, indicating that they belonged to rulers from the period before Egypt's First Dynasty. Many finds are unique; decorated objects give direct evidence in context for the date of famous carved stone and ivory objects from early Egypt. This lavishly illustrated volume details the elaborate A-Group painted pottery and decorated objects as well as more common finds, with individual chapters on the tombs, pottery, small objects, epigraphy, and a discussion of the special importance of Cemetery L in early Nubia with its possible role in the development of pharaonic Egypt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47892543078551,"sku":"9780918986467","price":12443.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780918986467.webp?v=1781187424","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/excavations-between-abu-simbel-and-the-sudan-frontier-part-1-the-a-group-royal-cemetery-at-qustul-cemetery-l-9780918986467","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
