Abstract

In this paper, the authors present the analysis of the distribution of and relations between pottery vessels and pottery coffins found in Tell el-Murra graves dated to the Early Dynastic period. The research includes, among others, the study of the vessels forms, coffins types, the number and quality of vessels in the assemblages from graves with coffins, type and chronology of these graves and other issues. Based on these investigation we make an attempt to answer the most bothering question: why at Tell el-Murra cemetery there is a relatively high concetrantion of graves with pottery coffins while at other Nile Delta cemeteries of the same chronology they occur rather sporadically?
